Just the same way I'd say a prayer before going onstage, taking that even further and using the drum to inspire people. And using that as a vehicle for the intention.

I meditate and pray before going onstage - it helps me focus.
I think when a musician loses their inhibition and dives deep into their soul, that's a prayer. It's so powerful that you will touch people whether it's good or bad.
I offer my performance as prayer for someone I've worked with as an actor or someone who has died. The image that comes into my head as I walk to the stage, I offer that performance up for that person.
Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.
Seemed to me that drumming was the best way to get close to God.

Inspiring music may fill the soul with heavenly thoughts, move one to righteous action, or speak peace to the soul.
The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.
During the songs, you transcend yourself. The best way to be in the performance is to be without pause and be essentially in the moment, in that moment of expression.
