Cody Bragg is a double amputee drummer from West Virginia. He, along with his twin brother were born without shinbones. He says "Everything else was okay and to this day, still has doctors wondering exactly what it was that happened". He had his first operation at 13 months old, and 4 more after that up until age 7 when I had my last one to remove his left knee.
Cody started drumming at 14 when someone asked "how am I supposed to drum??" So he said, "hell I don't know, lemme try" and in 6 months he was more advanced and excelled quickly.
Cody says "He hasn't ever needed lessons, everything is self taught by ear. I know I was born with the ear to hear music unlike anyone".
Cody has been drumming almost 10 years and loving it!
