Cape Town – Drummers don’t always feature that much in bands and we think that it’s mostly because they sit behind a drum kit where people can’t see them that well.
But for us, drummers are a mysterious breed that is the glue that keeps a band together. So, in honour of this awesome species of musos, we decided to ask Van Coke Kartel’s drummer, Dylan Hunt, to reveal a few secrets about himself that no one knows!
So here goes:
1) I was born with only one nipple and no pectoral muscle on my right hand side.
2) I played in a heavy metal band called Pestroy for 11 years, and opened for Metallica at Joburg Stadium to 65 000 people in 2013. (VCK opened for Metallica in CT).

3) I was head boy of my primary school (Randfontein Primary School) and a prefect at high school (Krugersdorp High School).

5) If I didn’t have dread locks I would have a monstrous afro.
