My Take
Drummers are the unsung architects of a band's identity, and Hashian was exactly that for Boston during their meteoric rise. His thunderous, instantly recognizable playing helped define one of the biggest rock sounds of the seventies, and his Armenian-American roots add a quietly compelling layer to his story. What moves me most is how he died: collapsing onstage mid-performance in 2017, drumsticks still in hand. There is something almost poetic about a musician leaving the world doing the one thing he loved. I admire artists who never stop creating, and Hashian gave everything right to the final beat.
