Tim Baltes is a professional drummer, musician, producer and digital marketer who grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His Instagram page @timbofromkeno is one of my favorite music based pages that I follow, where Tim plays and adapts songs from all genres with crazy drumming ability.

He has also taken his love for great drum sounds and performances to the next level by diving into audio engineering, and has launched a website (found on his IG page) of drumless music tracks for drummers to use as a practice tool.
Tim has also done remote drum session work for organizations including Disney, 21st Century Fox, GameHouse, Zynga, and Blue Giraffe. He is known for top quality performances, incredible drum tones, a positive attitude, and turnaround times that are hard to beat. Contact him at timbdrums@gmail.com to talk about your next project!

We talked about the journey from a garage invention to selling that IP to one of the largest cannabis brands in the industry and all the things he learned along the way. We talked about his Texas BBQ skills and some of his thoughts on what seems to be growing dissent in America.
So much fun catching up with Tracey on the podcast and discussing his success. Thank you for checking this one out and make sure you share it with all your friends who made you smoke out of that homemade gravity bong they made out of a 2 liter bottle back in hight school.
