Scott Newman is a drummer from Philadelphia who has had MS for almost 30 years.

Scott says "I've been playing drums since I was 11 years old". Although never professionally, Scott occasionally gets called in as a "session" drummer for Sam Ash Music Music store's open mike nights.

He adds "Even after a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 1986, I never stopped playing". Scott played in a band in College, and still to this day, whether it be an opem mic night, or to you tube drumless tracks, Scott still plays.

He says "I find it to be the best therapy I can find".
