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

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

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

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

Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers.

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