As a keen drummer, Ben’s favourite quote is from Dave Grohl, which (when censored!) translates to “Buy an old drum set, get in the garage and just be terrible. Get your friends to come in and they’ll be terrible too. And then you’ll start playing and you’ll have the best time you ever had and all of a sudden you’ll become Nirvana.” It says everything about the impact of passion, dedication and practice.
