But, When You Have To Resort To

If You Think You Stink, You Probably Do.

I Play A Percussion Instrument, Not A Musical Saw; It Needs No Amplification. Where It's Needed, They Put A Microphone In Front Of The Bass Drum. But, I Don't Think It's Necessary To Play That Way Every Night.

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.

And, You Know, I Think The Original Recording Of Ravel's Bolero, Probably Whoever Played Percussion On That, Will Never Have It Played Better Than That.

So, Practice, Particularly After You've Attained A Job, Any Kind Of Job, Like Playing With A Four Piece Band, That's... An Opportunity To Develop.
