But Primarily, The Drummer's Supposed To Sit

But, I Don't Think Any Arranger Should Ever Write A Drum Part For A Drummer Because If A Drummer Can't Create His Own Interpretation Of The Chart And He Plays Everything That's Written, He Becomes Mechanical; He Has No Freedom.

To Have Everything Written For You It's Not Really Creating. That's Why I Think Symphony Drummers Are So Limited. They 're Limited To Exactly What Was Played A Hundred Years Before Them By A Thousand Other Drummers.

So, Practice, Particularly After You've Attained A Job, Any Kind Of Job, Like Playing With A Four Piece Band, That's... An Opportunity To Develop.

I Never Believed In A Set Routine. It Should Depend On How You Feel, Because You Play What You Feel.

A Great Musician Is Just A Thief Who Doesn't Get Caught
