Synesthesia (from answers.com)
1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.
2. A sensation felt in one part of the body as a result of stimulus applied to another, as in referred pain.

better put some very special herbs in the stuffing before you watch this one.
I “suffer” from Synesthesia. Playing drums is the “therapy” for me. When I play beats I see pictures and topographic maps with texture and color and sometimes even odors.
BillyRayDrums- I notice you put “suffering” in quotes, leading me to believe that your experience is quite the opposite. Artists of all stripes- visual, musical, literary- as well as visionaries have described the sensory richness of synesthesia. (Acid trips delivered big time too.)
I like the idea of of sniffing the color of your riff :)
Annagrace It’s actually a joke about the way researchers have referred to the condition. :D
And I still want to sniff the color of the drumbeat! :)
I can tell you that “Brown Eyed Girl” smells like musty hot dogs.
