If you're listening to Allan's music as a drummer, you can't tell that there are modulations everywhere. When I started learning the harmonies and especially the bass parts in his music, I realized, IT'S MODULATING HERE. AND THIS IS THE SAME SORT OF PROGRESSION, BUT IN A DIFFERENT KEY. So it really started to open doors for me, just looking inside his music. After that, I checked what all the different drummers had played originally. And then we talked it over. Allan said, "I want you to play like Joel Taylor." He helped me find my voice. That's the best any leader can do. | If you're listening to Allan's music as a drummer, you can't tell that there are modulations everywhere.
