If He's A True Symphony Artist, He

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.

I Consider Every Drummer That Ever Played Before Me An Influence, In Every Way.

But, I Don't Think Any Arranger Should Ever Write A Drum Part For A Drummer Because If A Drummer Can't Create His Own Interpretation Of The Chart And He Plays Everything That's Written, He Becomes Mechanical; He Has No Freedom.

If You Can Play, You Can Play Anything. I Don't Like Classifications.

I Can Think Of A Lot Better Things To Do With My Hands Than To Cut Them Up On The Rim Of A Drum.
