I hate click tracks. A lot of people I know like to use click tracks. Like my son is perfect on the click tracks. It makes me to edgy.
I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
I love that about the Beatles, that the music is still going on more than the haircut, you know.
When I was thirteen I only wanted to be a drummer.
I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.
