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.

Music gives the soul this inner self-expression, a voice. It gives the soul a sound, the sound of the Muse.

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

People will always try to find themselves and their place in the world.
