It started in a small church hall in Longview, East Texas. A young boy sat behind a drum kit and discovered something more powerful than music — he found medicine. Two decades later, that same rhythm pulled Casey Muze out of substance struggles and sensory storms and into purpose.
Today, Casey is a nationally known speaker delivering drumming therapy, bilateral sound interventions, and trauma-informed keynotes. He serves people carrying childhood wounds, neurodivergent individuals in sensory overload, and dementia patients navigating unresolved grief. Through story, science, and sound — and in partnership with organizations like Region 7 Education Service Center — Casey forges trust, belonging, and thriving as the founder of AvenueSpeak LLC.
Tap the pads. Feel the beat. Every hit sends soundwaves rippling through your nervous system — bilateral drumming crosses the body’s midline and engages both hemispheres of your brain.

Try the bilateral pattern: Left → Right → Left → Right. Cross the midline. Regulate the nervous system.
