Mistreating Your Drum Set Is Just One

There Were Times When I Blundered And Got The Dreaded Look From The Lads. But That Was A Good Sign. It Showed I'd Attempted Something I'd Not Tried Before.

With Zeppelin, I Tried To Play Something Different Every Night In My Solos. I'd Play For 20 Minutes But The Longest Ever Was 30 Minutes. It's A Long Time, But Wheni Was Playing It Seemed To Fly By.

Not Everybody Likes Or Understands A Drum Solo, So I Like To Bring In Effects And Sounds To Keep Their Interest.

I've Wanted To Be A Drummer Since I Was About Five Years Old. I Used To Play On A Bath Salt Container With Wires On The Bottom, And On A Round Coffee Tin With A Loose Wire Fixed To It To Give A Snare Drum Effect. Plus There Were Always My Mum's Pots And Pans. When I Was Ten, My Mum Bought Me A Snare Drum. My Dad Bought Me My First Full Drum Kit When I Was 15. It Was Almost Prehistoric. Most Of It Was Rust.

Brushes..? Nah. Hit 'em As Hard As You Can.
