Grammy win #1 for session drummer Dylan Wissing for his work on Drake’s album Take Care! Wissing played drums on the track “Lord Knows” for the disc, which won the “Best Rap Album” category at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Previously, Wissing was nominated for a Grammy in the same category last year for his work on Kanye West and Jay-Z’s Watch the Throne. Looking forward to big things in 2013!
