"I think at one time every drummer wanted to play like Krupa or wanted to win a Gene Krupa drum contest. This is the big inspiration for drummers and naturally it has to be the same way for me."

"I can't sit down long enough to absorb any kind of learning."
Learning
"Every drummer that had a name, had a name because of his individual playing. He didn't sound like anybody else, So everybody that I ever listened to, in some form, influenced my taste."
Name
"Well, I never really practiced because I never had the opportunity to practice."
Opportunity
"I think at one time every drummer wanted to play like Krupa or wanted to win a Gene Krupa drum contest. This is the big inspiration for drummers and naturally it has to be the same way for me."
Time
"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."
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
"If he's a true symphony artist, he knows better than that because he knows that the only truly creative musician is the jazz musician."
Artist
"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."
