I Can Think Of A Lot Better

I Think It's A Fallacy That The Harder You Practice The Better You Get.

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.

But, When You Have To Resort To Turntables, Trick Lights, Flashing Lights, Fire And All That, You're Actually Saying, I Need This Because What I Do Is Not All That Together.

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.

And, You Know, I Think The Original Recording Of Ravel's Bolero, Probably Whoever Played Percussion On That, Will Never Have It Played Better Than That.
