If He's A True Symphony Artist, He

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.

I Never Believed In A Set Routine. It Should Depend On How You Feel, Because You Play What You Feel.

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.

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.

I Can't Sit Down Long Enough To Absorb Any Kind Of Learning.
