Thom Sonny Green, The Miracle Drummer (80% Deaf) | alt-J (Video-Essay)

In this video I talk about the drummer of art rock band alt-J, Thom Sonny Green. I explore how he lives with Alport Syndrome, a genetic condition that has stripped away of 80% of his hearing, and has caused several health issues. Despite this, Thom still manages to be a successful and unique drummer in one of the best bands in the world.
