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.

Well, I never really practiced because I never had the opportunity to practice.

But primarily, the drummer's supposed to sit back there and swing the band.

I think it's a fallacy that the harder you practice the better you get.

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.

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.
