"I can't sit down long enough to absorb any kind of learning."

Name

Being
"There were so many individual styles thirty or forty years ago."
Years
"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
"I think the drummer should sit back there and play some drums, and never mind about the tunes. Just get up there and wail behind whoever is sitting up there playing the solo. And this is what is lacking, definitely lacking in music today."
Music
"And, well of course, Count Basie, and I think all of the black bands of the late thirties and early forties, bands with real players. They had an influence on everybody, not just drummers."
Influence
"I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way."
Influence

Years
