As Far As Music School Goes, I

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

Every Drummer That Had A Name, Had A Name Because Of His Individual Playing. He Didn't Sound Like Anybody Else, So Everybody That I Ever Listened To, In Some Form, Influenced My Taste.

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.

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.

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.
