Answer: Ze'ev Macklin, currently living in Nachlaot, Jerusalem, is one of the best drummers out there, and an amazing and holy Jew to boot. When I was in my late teens, one afternoon at my dad's house in Montreal, Ze'ev says the most amazing to me, which even today blows me away:
"Sound waves dissipate over time and distance, but never fully disappear. But the energy still remains, even at some infinitesimally small level. What that means is that the sound of Hashem giving the Ten Commandments all those years ago at Har Sinai IS STILL IN THE WORLD TODAY. We just don't have the sensitivity to hear it."
Pretty amazing, eh?
