Applications on the Drumset
(from Soultone Cymbals website)
"A drummer whose playing is incredibly musical and at the ame time propulsive, whose kicks and breaks are always directly related to the purpose of the song. If you have seen Zottarelli live, you will understand what I mean by that, and the joy of playing that this drummer emanates."
