"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."

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."
