Soren Kierkegaard

Truth, Cannot, Catch

Chad Smith

Time, Good, Cool

Travis Barker

Teacher, Everything, Play

My favorite instrument is the snare drum. In Scotland, the snare drum is very prominent in Highland bands. The Scottish style of playing is in my blood. It's a very powerful instrument, but it can also be soothing, like velvet. It's a real challenge for composers.
Evelyn Glennie

Powerful, Real, Challenge

Travis Barker

Suzy Bogguss

School, Through, High

I love the percussion. It's a right brain, left brain thing. There are different beats, but cooperating together. It's your whole body doing it, you're doing the snare drum and the high top with your hands and the bass drum with your foot. You're this whole motion machine.
Shalom Harlow

Love, Brain, Together
