Drumming was the only thing I was ever good at.

I dare not drink before a gig because I'll get tired and blow it. So I have to sit drinking tea in a caravan.

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

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

Nowadays you can't be loud enough!

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 don't consider that I'm particularly influenced by anyone or anything. But when I started playing, I was influenced by early soul. It was just that feel, that sound.
