Concerts Have To Be Seen As A

I'm Not A Deaf Musician. I'm A Musician Who Happens To Be Deaf.

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.

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.

Percussion Is Physical, As Most Instruments Are. The Body Must Function Well In Order To Play The Instruments Well. Last Year I Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

I Didn't Decide To Become A Musician Until The Age Of 15, Which Is Quite Late.
