What is the most challanging part of your job? Keeping up with all the details and not getting buried in paperwork. What musical instruments are you most passionate about? It's sad to say but I do not play any instrument, the bonus to that is my family gets to eat! But if I could miraculously become a stick twirling, double bass drum pedal playing drummer, then my husband can put the food on the table. If you could only keep one album, what would it be? Michael Jackson "Thriller" It was the first album I owned, got it at Christmas in my stocking. I think I was only in grade 1. Still can't Moonwalk, but I won't give up.

		What's your favorite part about working at quest? The people are great. Sometimes my job is hard, but the people that work here are easy to get along with and always willing to help out. What musical instruments are you most passionate about? Drums, that's what I play and teach. Cymbals are especially enticing to me - I have three rides in my setup and I'm trying to figure out if it's too ridiculous to add a fourth. Who are your Musical Influences? As far as drummers go: Dennis Chambers, Billy Cobham, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd, Jimmy Chamberlin, Ginger Baker, Elvin Jones and others. Music in general: U2, Smashing Pumpkins, George Clinton, Mahavishnu Orchertra, Chick Corea, Tony Williams Lifetime, Coldplay, Stevie Wonder, The Who, Miles Davis, Eric Clapton, Jamiroquai, Buckethead, Bootsy Collins, Frank Zappa, etc. If you could only keep one album, what would it be? Ummm... depends what day it is, but the front-runners would usually be U2's The Joshua Tree, Total Eclipse by Billy Cobham, and Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins.

		What's your favorite part about working at quest? I love the fact that I get to be around gear all day. To be learning about what the newest and best products are.

I get to talk to many customers and clients that come from many different musical backgrounds. This keeps me involved in the musical community which I love. What is the most challenging part of your job? The most challenging thing for me is keeping up with all the product knowledge. We get new stuff everyday and I need to know what it is and how it works so I can show our customers why they might want it or find it useful. What strength do you feel you contribute to the team? I feel that my friendliness and over all positive attitude here at the store helps on so many levels. It really sets the mood for the store when we are all happy to be here! That's what I love.

Coupled with a wonderful family oriented sales team, top quality professional teachers and a killer website makes Quest Musique my #1 choice. What musical instrument are you most passionate about? DRUMS, DRUMS, DRUMS!!! I have been playing for 17 years and the obsession increases with each coming day. Double Bass and Technical Craziness are my specialty. Who are your Musical Influences?

Sam Jacobs Sales Associate
		What's your favorite part about working at quest? I used to come in and visit Quest on my spare time to see all the gear, so for me its like I pretty much get paid to be in the environment that I want to be in. If you could have only one musical instrument, what would it be and why? Guitar, because it is THE musical instrument. What is your most memorable music experience? Its not really that big of a deal, but opening for Threat Signal last November. They were my favorite band at the time, so it was awesome getting to hang out and everything, really nice guys, great band! Who are your Musical Influences? Right now? A band from the UK called The Arusha Accord. Tech metal with a little bit of jazz even in some parts, perfect!

Danelle Cloutier Sales Associate
		What was the deciding factor for you in working at Quest Well, before I got a job here, Quest was one of the only music stores I would buy from. They always offered great customer service and educated me about the instruments and gear I was interested in. There's nowhere else I'd rather work! What gear are you most passionate about? I'd say I'm mainly passionate about guitar and recording gear. However, If I was good at singing I would be passionate about that as well. If you could have only one musical instrument, what would it be and why? A kazoo. I don't know how people live without them. Who are your Musical Influences? I'd say Death Cab For Cutie have been a big influence but also, Andy McKee, Kaki King, Holly Springs Disaster and more! I can't choose just a couple artists!

Rejean LaBelle Sales Associate
		What musical instrument are you most passionate about? The piano without hesitation. To me it is the instument that stands on its own to evoke passion and emotion. I use this instrument with a penchant for simplistic and emotional melody. Sometimes I think the paino saves my life. Rogers Waters once said it best; "got a grande piano to prop up my mortal remains" Maybe you've heard of him....he played in a band called Pink Floyd :) What is your most memorable music experience? After years of touring there are so many amazing moments, places, and people that could be the answer to this question but I would have to say that touring in Europe tops the list. Who is your Musical Influence? The girl who owns my heart. If you had to pick a song to sing right now what would it be? Dustland Fairytail by The Killers. This song dashes my heart into a million pieces and sends chills across my skin. It reminds me that I am alive and that I still feel.
