Do you remember the first sound you heard? It was a long time ago... You wouldn't remember it, because when we first heard that sound we weren't even born yet. Being in our mother's womb, we depended on... our mother's heartbeat.

In the beginning a drum is a drum and drumming is drumming. Then when one starts drumming one learns all its subtleties: the rhythm, the stance, the rapport between drummers. A drum is not just a drum and drumming is not just drumming.

When you're not trying to conquer the drum then you're ready.
