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.

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.

Every drummer that had a name, had a name because of his individual playing. He didn't sound like anybody else, So everybody that I ever listened to, in some form, influenced my taste.

I can't sit down long enough to absorb any kind of learning.

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

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

Average band with a great drummer sounds great, great band with an average drummer sounds average.
