From the sticks to the mic, Marc Precilla—formerly the drummer of Sony-signed pop punk band The City Drive—is reclaiming the spotlight with his solo project, ExDrummer.
And if “Topsoil,” from his debut EP Changing Lines, is any indication, he’s not just stepping forward—he’s soaring.
“Topsoil” blends early 2000s pop rock with emotional weight and unexpected twists. The piano is unforgettable, setting the tone with a haunting melody that anchors the track. Precilla’s drumming adds strength and intensity, while the harmonies hit hard in all the right places. The vocals—both lead and backing—are full of emotion and beautifully delivered.
There are moments that shock you in the best way, like sounds that bounce between ears or harmonies that take turns you didn’t see coming. The build-ups keep you hanging on, and when everything finally comes together, it’s a satisfying blend of smooth and edgy elements.
This song leaves a mark and never overstays its welcome—you almost wish it didn’t end. Stream “Topsoil” now and follow ExDrummer as he redefines his sound, one powerful track at a time.
