Patrick R.F. Blakley
“Percussion is my religion, and the band room is my cathedral. Inside this holy place, I don’t believe in anything more than myself.”
Patrick R.F. Blakley, Drummond: Learning to find himself in the music

“Interestingly, bonobo percussionists prefer a tempo of 280 beats per minute, the syllabic rate at which most humans speak.”
Dr Susan Block
