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

You either swing a band or don't swing a band and that's what's lacking today.. There aren't any guys who get back there and play with any kind of guts.

If you think you stink, you probably do.

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

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

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