Born in Albany, OR, Wesley Wedel (AKA Wesley Smash) hails from Grants Pass OR and has helped shape the local metal community with his outgoing, energetic persona and artistic musical talents. Currently residing in Eugene, OR, Smash combines the styles of old school thrash with modern metal drumming, indulging in his obsession with the drums. He has drawn training from professional drum courses, such as Professor Larry Finn's "Accelerate", Marthyn’s (session for Belphegor) "Bars Drumming Mastery", and introductory lessons from world class drummer/educator Mr. GT Albright.

  Smash is influenced by many artists that have substantially lead to his creative drumming style, including Chris Adler (Lamb of God) for his diverse foot techniques, Neil Peart (Rush) for his creative use of the kit as a whole, Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) for his amazing technical work and fusion rock, as well as Dana Carey’s (Tool) amazing control and hand technique. Wes has spent many of his youthful years headbanging and absorbing the intense talents and skills of metal bands that were heavily influential to him such as Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus, Iron Maiden, Sepultura, and Testament, to name a few. The first drumming legend to fill his earholes with the pounding fills and intense speed of thrash metal was Dave Lombardo of fucking Slayer!!!

  Absorbing metal like a sponge, along with a diverse array of influences from many other artists in other genres, he has fashioned his own sound that is found throughout Cosmic Waste. Joining the Cosmic Crew in 2018 has allowed Smash to vent his skills and adeptness in the creative process of building songs with intense feel, heavy groove, and harmonies to get the blood pumping. Bringing it hard and heavy, he proclaims the importance of dedication to giving 100% to every show, practice, and everything musical in his life for his fans, friends, and family.
