Percussion is the most adaptable family of instruments. The biggest challenge is to project percussion in a lyrical way.

Hearing is a form of touch. You feel it through your body, and sometimes it almost hits your face.

I've kept a diary since I was 11.

If we see someone in a wheelchair, we assume they cannot walk. It may be that they can walk three, four, five steps. That, to them, means they can walk.

Percussion is physical, as most instruments are. The body must function well in order to play the instruments well. Last year I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

Concerts have to be seen as a real event for which the aim is to try and feed everybody.

I like the sparkle of the vibraphone.
