I listen to Bill Stewart play the drums and when I have finished doing that, I listen to Bill Stewart.

Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.

I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.

I do play drums when I'm on tour.
