I Consider Every Drummer That

A Great Musician Is Just A Thief Who Doesn't Get Caught

If He's A True Symphony Artist, He Knows Better Than That Because He Knows That The Only Truly Creative Musician Is The Jazz Musician.

To Have Everything Written For You It's Not Really Creating. That's Why I Think Symphony Drummers Are So Limited. They 're Limited To Exactly What Was Played A Hundred Years Before Them By A Thousand Other Drummers.

I Mean, I Think I Liked Every Band I Ever Played In Because Each Band Was Different, Each Band Had A Different Concept, And Each Band Leader Was Different... Different Personalities And Musical Tastes.

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.
