And, Well Of Course, Count Basie, And

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

I Play A Percussion Instrument, Not A Musical Saw; It Needs No Amplification. Where It's Needed, They Put A Microphone In Front Of The Bass Drum. But, I Don't Think It's Necessary To Play That Way Every Night.

I Can't Sit Down Long Enough To Absorb Any Kind Of Learning.

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

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.
