If He's A True Symphony Artist, He

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.

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.

You Only Get Better By Playing.

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.

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