Being a professional does not have a very high standard.

I'm pretty proud of everything I've done.

There's many possibilities for anything.

My motives at a young age were, "I want to be rich and famous".

I have tons of tunes, maybe 30 tunes that I still think are great, and only because some jerk at a record company didn't think it was great, it's not out there.

Being a professional does not have a very high standard.

I had been composing just for myself, and people would say I played so orchestrally, and wondered if I thought about having someone write a piece for me for an orchestra. And I thought, I don't want someone else to write that. You know I finally had made an overhead chart of my drums and what pitches the cymbals and toms were tuned to, and what have you. And I started to compose just with what I had for my solo drumming.
