If You Have Any Requests. Keep Them

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.

You Only Get Better By Playing.

I Consider Every Drummer That Ever Played Before Me An Influence, In Every Way.

Every Drummer That Had A Name, Had A Name Because Of His Individual Playing. He Didn't Sound Like Anybody Else, So Everybody That I Ever Listened To, In Some Form, Influenced My Taste.

You Either Swing A Band Or Don't Swing A Band And That's What's Lacking Today.. There Aren't Any Guys Who Get Back There And Play With Any Kind Of Guts.
