I watched all of this before realizing she was deaf. AMAZING, what a talent deaf or not. I think she is saying, we have to get out of the way of ourselves, like not clutching the stick, and become conduits or “sound enablers” I find this is so true of playing the piano

She never said she was completely deaf, just profoundly deaf. It’s still a hindrance to her ability to listen to music in the conventional way. Either way, she’s one of the top percussionists in the world.

I wouldn’t say drums are the easiest. I think a better word is ‘basic’. Drums are the earliest and most basic form of music, and therefore the most crucial part of a musical piece, that which binds everything else onto a certain ‘beat’ or rhythm which resonates with the listener, though subconciously, first and above all else. Also, basic does not mean drums cannot be complex.
