Quote’s

Pierre heeft mij laten zien hoe je met klanken om kan gaan, hij heeft bijvoorbeeld pedalen die naar een gong gaan of naar een tom-tom die hij dan met een speciaal mechaniek de spanbokken kan laten aanspannen waardoor de klank weer verandert (erg gaaf!!). Pierre heeft dit allemaal zelf bedacht en zijn eigen drumstel ontworpen!! — Lars Nijman
