"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
"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
"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."

Opportunity
"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

Needs
"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
"Well, I never really practiced because I never had the opportunity to practice."
