Q: How would you describe your drumming style? =97Terry Matlen,=20
Birmingham, Mich.
A: I was blessed with great timing. The other blessing that makes my=20
drumming individual is that I was born left-handed. But my grandmother=20
turned me into a right-handed person. So, I'm actually ambidextrous. If=20
I throw anything, play cricket or golf, it's done left-handed, but I=20
write and cut with my right hand. I'm a weird, handy guy. That makes my=20
style really personal.

Once we're discussing handedness, I know that Paul's left-handed, but
is=20
he left-handed for everything? IIRC, his bass and guitar are NOT=20
restrung, so when he holds them, the high strings are on top. Does=20
anyone know which way Paul's own drum kit is set up? Thanks!
