I played some Yamaha drums that I like a lot. And I like the Yamaha people a lot too. They've been really nice to me and The Band.

When I was younger, I used to drive up to a bunch of turkeys, roll down the window and say something. They'd all gobble back at once.

I like walking on the edge.

If things are going slow, I'm itchy.

With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.

If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you.

If you feel like you're getting into a rut with a song, a night off usually fixes it.
