You Either Swing A Band Or Don't

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.

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.

I Can Think Of A Lot Better Things To Do With My Hands Than To Cut Them Up On The Rim Of A Drum.

Average Band With A Great Drummer Sounds Great, Great Band With An Average Drummer Sounds Average.

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