If you think you stink, you probably do.

I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way.

So, practice, particularly after you've attained a job, any kind of job, like playing with a four piece band, that's... an opportunity to develop.

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.

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.

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

A great musician is just a thief who doesn't get caught
