About the track:
The theme of Drive is motivational. The idea was to write the kind of music that would make you want to get up, go out there, and get things done

Usually my tracks are solo releases in every sense of that term (with me doing the writing, production, drum programming, and the video), but that is not the case here.
The drums were programmed by Ryan Van Poederooyen (drummer of Imonolith, ex-long time drummer of Devin Townsend). Ryan is one of my absolute favorite drummers and his work here just blew me away. If you're familiar with his drumming style you'll definitely recognize it here, and for me it's a huge honor to hear his interpretation and drumming on something I wrote.

And the video was professionally filmed by MenahemD, with Almog Davidov joining us for some shots of skateboarding.
