With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I'd play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It's a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by.

I think the marketing needs work.

Mistreating your drum set is just one step below child abuse

Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.

I never had any lessons. When I first started playing I used to read music. I was very interested in music. But when I started playing in groups I did a silly thing and dropped it. It's great if you can write things down.

I'm the Best Keith Moon-type drummer in the world.

Brushes..? Nah. Hit 'em as hard as you can.
