Daniel Glass: The internal rhythm that lies within each listener

Daniel Glass: Not everyone is good at making rhythm, but every person can comprehend and feel it. Why? Because we each have a perfect rhythm residing within us, the heartbeat. A fetus inside the womb responds to music it hears from without. A child that has not yet learned to speak can still groove along with the rhythms in its environment. As drummers, it is our job to speak to the internal rhythm that lies within each listener. The best drummers, whether in a military band, an African religious ritual, a swing dance setting or a metal mosh pit will grab a group of people and move them from A to B, simply through the transfer of a profound rhythm. Taking audiences on such a physical journey is our number one job, pure and simple.
