Syncro throwing his glowing green drum shield
Your guide

Meet Syncro

Tito is the youngest of the SoundMinds and the most precise. He's a drummer with skills beyond his years, and when he throws his shield every angle is already calculated. He's always looking for a way to get a little better at what he does.

That's this kit. Syncro keeps time while you pick one option, build the process and system behind it, and map it so you can run it again and again.
