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

If you can play, you can play anything. I don't like classifications.

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.

But, I don't think any arranger should ever write a drum part for a drummer because if a drummer can't create his own Interpretation of the chart and he plays everything that's written, he becomes mechanical; he has no freedom.

I mean, I think I liked every band I ever played in because each band was different, each band had a different concept, and each band leader was different... different personalities and musical tastes.

Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity.

If you have any requests. keep them to yourselves. we don't play requests!
