[@peytonjmusic]

my band director was his band director!!!

[@theharmonagonproject8138]

There's always plenty of "drum excitement" when Tain is on the bandstand.

[@CribNotes]

@dhineshadrian Jeff Watts is great! Buy the band a drink and rap with him. I did!

[@apfelbaum6858]

Which recording is playing in the beginning? It's the impaler but in trio

[@irragrams]

From his album Megawatts.

Here is another example of how no matter how much we try to analyze the drumming, or describe what we are doing, WORDS just are not the vehicle needed to convey the idea of the what and the why of the actual music. The only thing is the music, but we continue to attempt to clarify the art via spoken language. Like trying ti hear colors. Can't we see how futile that is? The map is not the territory.

You have to talk when you're in an interview.
