So I have the classic amateur's technique; I know some very tricky bits and I have large gaping holes.

Plus I am being hounded by all the fabulous new drummers, Bill Stewart at the head of the pack.

I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.

Sometimes I had to room with Tony Kaye and that was awful.

You learn so much about music from all the people you surround yourself with - good, bad and indifferent. It's extremely hard to be specific.

I don't really remember a whole lot of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, really.

At the end of the whole day of working with people you want some privacy.
