Dr Q. is an overt operative in the Different Drummer Initiative. He is usually busy on the frontlines of culture playing wherever he can to inject diverse "trance breaking" rhythms into the popular imagination.

Because of his work diversifing the beatscape. Dr Q isn't available for every Cabaret Decadance show. (Despite having "his own dimension," the number of places he can be "at once" are exceptional, but remain finite.) We're always happy when he can make it because he's a great drummer, and a hero in the struggle for rhythmic diversity.
