"I play a percussion instrument, not a musical saw; it needs no amplification. Where it's needed, they put a microphone in front of the bass drum. But, I don't think it's necessary to play that way every night."

"Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers."
Creativity
"There were so many individual styles thirty or forty years ago."
Years
"So, practice, particularly after you've attained a job, any kind of job, like playing with a four piece band, that's... an opportunity to develop."
Opportunity
"I can't sit down long enough to absorb any kind of learning."
Learning
"But, when you have to resort to turntables, trick lights, flashing lights, fire and all that, you're actually saying, I need this because what I do is not all that together."
Fire
"But I think that any young drummer starting out today should get himself a great teacher and learn all there is to know about the instrument that he wants to play."
Play
"To have everything written for you... It's not really creating. That's why I think symphony drummers are so limited. They 're limited to exactly what was played a hundred years before them by a thousand other drummers."
Years
"I mean, I think I liked every band I ever played in because each band was different, each band had a different concept, and each band leader was different... different personalities and musical tastes."
Leader

Influence
"They're simply following what was laid down in front and they play the same thing. So, there's no great challenge In being a classical drummer."
