You Only Get Better By Playing.

I Think At One Time Every Drummer Wanted To Play Like Krupa Or Wanted To Win A Gene Krupa Drum Contest. This Is The Big Inspiration For Drummers And Naturally It Has To Be The Same Way For Me.

You Either Swing A Band Or Don't Swing A Band And That's What's Lacking Today.. There Aren't Any Guys Who Get Back There And Play With Any Kind Of Guts.

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.

Almost Everything I've Done, I've Done Through My Own Creativity.

I Think It's A Fallacy That The Harder You Practice The Better You Get.
