In the beginning, there was noise. Noise begat rhythm, and rhythm begat everything else.

Egyptian drumming happens to be a favorite of mine. It's a really simple instrument, but it's really difficult to play. You can take it anywhere with you - you can play it in your room, in an airport. It's very quiet, so you explore the quiet side.

Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning.

When I heard Grateful Dead music, I knew that it was the most powerful force on the planet.

A good groove releases adrenaline in your body. You feel uplifted, you feel centered, you feel calm, you feel powerful. You feel that energy. That's what good drumming is all about.

There's nothing like music to relieve the soul and uplift it.

Life is about rhythm. We vibrate, our hearts are pumping blood, we are a rhythm machine, that’s what we are.
