Drums all have their own particulars - each drum has a place where they sound the best - where they ring out and resonate the best, and the head surface isn't too loose or too tight, mainly so you get a good rebound off of the head. ↗

Playing along with records is key. And as far as equipment goes it has gotten so much more affordable and the drum sets are of great quality. I play Pearl; their Export Series is great for a beginner. ↗

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money. ↗

I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage. ↗

I've never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I've always played with other musicians. It's how I play, there's no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play. ↗

If I do a song where I'm angry, when it's time to perform it live I'm not mad, I'm happy. I'm at a concert. But I have to somehow drum up that rage. That's acting. ↗

I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture. ↗

Nowadays I get complaints about long drum solos, but in those days they wanted me to keep on going so they could go over to the bar and have a drink. ↗

I play, like, 12 instruments. Guitar, piano, harmonica, African drums... I'm working on mastering the accordion. ↗
