I'm Not A Deaf Musician.

Hearing Is A Form Of Touch. I Could Hear Less Through The Ears But More Through The Body.

I Think I Can Only Help To Expose Percussion To All Sorts Of People. The Balance Between The Lighter And More Serious Side Is Important.

I Just Assumed The World Was Full Of Solo Percussionists. I Couldn't Find Sticks Or Music Or Anything Where I Was, But That Was Expected Because There Was Nothing There Anyway. And I Think That Was Possibly The Greatest Asset For Me, Just Not Knowing.

I Love Out-of-the-way, Rugged Places. For Me, Holidays Are About The Experiences, And The People, And The Memories, Rather Than Sitting On A Nice Beach Getting Tanned. I Try To Plant Myself Where I Am And Embrace What Is There In Front Of Me.

I Walk Into A Kids' Store, And It's Amazing, The Types Of Instruments - Little Squeaky Things, Rattling Things, Spinning Tops.
