He then proceeded to tell me about his story. Before this email I had never been introduced to Jason, but the depth of his story immediately inspired me. I wrote him back to say many things, but among them was an invitation to host him and tell his story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drums as life preserver. A fitting title, considering drums happened to be one of a few aspects of his life that kept him sane during a major rehabilitation. I won\u2019t spoil anything, but please listen closely to this and reflect upon it with your own experiences as a musician. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have the drums ever saved you from tremendously difficult times? Are they a dependable companion? If you answered yes, this will likely resonate deeply with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In this episode:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Today\u2019s episode goes back over twenty years when Jason began having crazy neurological symptoms during his career in STOMP until he was finally properly diagnosed and received a major surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why you should listen:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode has many lessons in it.
