"Seemed to me that drumming was the best way to get close to God" - Lionel Hampton
Drumming has been a constant source of fascination, exploration, expression, creativity and joy for my entire life and is directly responsible for putting me firmly on my musical/spiritual path. The groundedness that comes from settling into a deep groove provides stability and focus that allows my inner self to entrain to the universal rhythm where I can explore and experience a space of timeless power, mystery and magic." -Todd Glacy
"Whenever I see Todd I want to get my drums out and have a good time!" - Rev. Leroy Lowell
