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

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.

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

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.

To have everything written for you It's not really creating. That's why I think symphony drummers are so limited. They 're limited to exactly what was played a hundred years before them by a thousand other drummers.

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

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