From page 42:

"Sound moves slowly enough that we are aware of its pulse and the way it issues from and returns to silence. We can hear sound because it vibrates the eardrum; we can feel it more physically and dramatically when the sound of a drum vibrates the body's resonant bones and tissues. Listening provides ample evidence that life consists of energy and rhythm."

From page 85:

"Among musical instruments, the drum and the rattle have the greatest power to tune us to life energy."

"The surface of the earth and the vault of the sky are like drumheads."

From page 85-86:

"The steady drumming that accompanies Native American songs cause earth and sky to resonate, like the heartbeat of nature. The rattle or shaker also expresses vibratory power.
