A Great Musician Is Just A Thief

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.

But Primarily, The Drummer's Supposed To Sit Back There And Swing The Band.

Almost Everything I've Done, I've Done Through My Own Creativity. I Don't Think I Ever Had To Listen To Anyone Else To Learn How To Play Drums. I Wish I Could Say That For About Ten Thousand Other Drummers.

No, I Don't Like Recording. It's A Bore.

But I Think That Any Young Drummer Starting Out Today Should Get Himself A Great Teacher And Learn All There Is To Know About The Instrument That He Wants To Play.
