Every Drummer That Had A Name, Had

I Think The Drummer Should Sit Back There And Play Some Drums, And Never Mind About The Tunes. Just Get Up There And Wail Behind Whoever Is Sitting Up There Playing The Solo. And This Is What Is Lacking, Definitely Lacking In Music Today.

As Far As Music School Goes, I Walked Through Berkelee One Time.

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.

I Think At One Time Every Drummer Wanted To Play Like Krupa Or Wanted To Win A Gene Krupa Drum Contest. This Is The Big Inspiration For Drummers And Naturally It Has To Be The Same Way For Me.

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