Todd Drummond shares his background in component manufacturing and how he got involved in roof and floor trusses. He discusses the biggest issues facing the industry, such as supply outstripping demand and dropping margins. Todd explains that the primary demand for trusses comes from new construction, especially wood-framed buildings. He highlights the key features and benefits of selling trusses over rafters, including engineered systems, better load distribution, and the ability to handle complex roof structures. 

Todd also talks about the design process differences between repetitive and custom homes, the impact of roof covering on truss design, and the future of truss design and automation. In this conversation, Todd emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the truss manufacturing industry. He discusses the need to challenge traditional methods and embrace new ideas for improved productivity and efficiency. Todd also highlights the benefits of using lumber in truss manufacturing, including its flexibility, cost competitiveness, and ease of use. He explains the rigorous testing and structural integrity of trusses and the factors that influence lumber grade choice in truss design. http://strenghtinlumber.com

Talking Trusses with Todd Drummond


Song Description:

"Fortnite Victory Royale, Dad Never Came Home" is a raw blend of emo pop-punk energy and the unmistakable thrill of a Fortnite victory. The song tells the story of a lonely gamer who finds solace in the digital world, only to be met with the harsh reality of an absent father and an empty home. It’s a track that combines the high-energy rush of winning a #1 Victory Royale with the emotional vulnerability of waiting for a father who’s never there.

In the first verse, the narrator takes us on a journey through the competitive, fast-paced world of Fortnite. The Battle Bus drops in, and the adrenaline kicks in as the player takes down opponents, builds structures, and feels the rush of a near victory. The victorious moment of earning that elusive "Victory Royale" is fleeting but powerful — a perfect digital win in a world where things often feel out of control. But as the narrator jumps off the screen, expecting celebration and connection, reality hits.

The second verse brings us back to the silence of an empty home. The victory feels hollow because, despite the triumph in the game, the narrator is left facing the same cold, empty kitchen. The father, who promised to return with milk, is nowhere to be found. The house feels colder and emptier than the virtual world, and the narrator is left wondering if the next moment will bring the father home — or if they’ll always be waiting for something that may never come. The kitchen, devoid of life, reflects the hollow emptiness that the narrator feels deep down. It’s not just the absence of milk; it’s the absence of love, connection, and hope.

The song’s chorus captures this struggle: The victory feels like a dream, but the world outside the screen is harsh, cold, and unforgiving. The narrator is caught between the digital success of Fortnite and the crushing reality of loneliness, where no one is around to share the win with. The emptiness in the home mirrors the emptiness within the heart.

In the bridge, the song shifts toward reflection, as the narrator realizes that the game, no matter how thrilling, can never fill the void left by an absent parent. The loop of waiting, hoping, and never seeing the father return has become a painful cycle, one that the narrator can't escape. The game might offer temporary distraction, but when the screen fades, reality sets in again.

The outro leaves us with a sense of lingering hope. The narrator’s #1 Victory Royale may be a trophy in the game, but in real life, they’re still waiting for the father to come back, to fill the space that’s been left empty for too long. The kitchen’s emptiness is a symbol of this ongoing longing, and the narrator's heart, though full of achievement in the game, still yearns for something much more meaningful. They hold on to the hope that, one day, the father will return and make everything feel whole again.

This song is for anyone who has found comfort in the digital world when real life felt too hard. It's for those who understand the loneliness of waiting for something that may never come, and for those who have ever found victory in a game, only to realize that it's not enough to heal the wounds of a broken heart.

"Fortnite Victory Royale, Dad Never Came Home" is a powerful anthem of emotional vulnerability, combining the catharsis of pop-punk with the universal experience of longing, loss, and the search for connection. It’s a story of finding victory in a world of digital battles while struggling to win the real fight for love and belonging. Whether you're a gamer, a pop-punk fan, or someone who's ever felt like the world’s passing you by, this song speaks to the heart of that shared experience.

The First Run explores the possibility that Earth was once home to colossal beings, giant humans who may have walked alongside dinosaurs or even predated them. Told through the lens of speculative history and consciousness theory, the song imagines a forgotten epoch erased by cosmic resets and buried beneath the soil of time. It blends myth, suppressed knowledge, and awe at megalithic constructions, all wrapped in a poetic and rhythmic journey of memory and mystery. The lyrics suggest this “first run” of life may have been an early experiment by a universal mind—too big, too wild, and ultimately lost, yet still whispering through stone and story.

About My Music:
I create original, genre-blending music that fuses rock, classical, easy listening, and experimental styles. Each song is crafted with deep emotional honesty, often inspired by my own poetry, journal reflections, or personal stories. Whether instrumental or vocal, my focus is to uplift, inspire, and resonate with listeners on a real, human level.
I don’t settle for “good enough.” Every track goes through hundreds of iterations, shaped by a balance of intuition and precision. I use advanced AI music tools to explore sound and emotional tone, then refine everything in Logic Pro for professional production quality. It's a fusion of heart and technology, and through it, I aim to connect, heal, and inspire—one song at a time.

I’m a composer, songwriter, arranger, orchestrator, orchestra & choir conductor, music producer, mentor, writer, and researcher.
My work moves freely across different forms of expression — from Progressive Rock and Modern Symphony to Classical Piano, Songwriting, and Cinematic Music.
Over the years, I’ve shared projects with remarkable artists — including collaborations with Francesco Di Giacomo and Rodolfo Maltese of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso — and composed original scores for film, television, and symphonic productions that have reached international audiences.
As a mentor and educator, I’ve created the ANORA method, together with formative paths and musical laboratories exploring music as a uniquely human language — expressive, relational, and representative of inner experience.
In my poetic vision, sound itself becomes an image — a mental landscape that connects the composer’s inner vision with the listener’s imagination.
Each work blends tradition and innovation through orchestral writing, progressive structures, and storytelling soundscapes.
Every “side” of my music reflects a different perspective — all parts of the same creative vision.
