Over the course of the interview, with emails pinging left and right, it didn't take a rocket scientist to realise how nice and friendly and willing, Becky was to help out. Becky makes some of the top pro drummers appear very stale and egocentric. it was a sheer pleasure to interview her, thanks Becky.
