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

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

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

As far as music school goes, I walked through Berkelee one time.

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

You only get better by playing.

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