“Some of the biggest drum aficionados can be found in churches. Sister Annette Covatta, a Roman Catholic nun in Carmel, N.Y., took a workshop with Ms. Redmond a year ago. She now uses drums in the retreats she leads among religious and lay groups.
"I find when you bring drums in the energy goes sky high," said Sister. Covatta, who belongs to the sister of the Holy Name order. "Drumming is a powerful spiritual tool."
She acknowledged that percussion has a powerful physical effect, too. "Drumming is a very gutsy experience," she said. "It gets you in touch with your body. It gets people physically aroused. It's a direct channel into the rhythms of your body.’” (Claudia Ricci, DRUMMING FOR THE 90'S - More Than a Beat New York Times: October, 1996)
