Because Maxwell is out here playing Dream Theater, Rush, and Mastodon…
and not just messing around… actually playing them.

In this episode of Minnesota Music Note, we sit down with Maxwell, a young drummer from the Minnesota music scene who’s already turning heads with his skill, discipline, and love for music.

But this isn’t just about talent.
It’s about what happens when passion gets supported early.

From getting his first drum set at 3 years old… to starting lessons at 6… to now practicing daily, playing local jams, and preparing for studio recordings…

Maxwell’s journey is a reminder that this scene isn’t just about where you are now… it’s about what’s coming next.
