No, I don't like recording. It's a bore.

There are only two types of music.good and bad.

I can think of a lot better things to do with my hands than to cut them up on the rim of a drum.

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.

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.

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