Krupa's drums went through us like a triple bourbon.
I like Steve Gadd, everything he did with Steely Dan. There's so many. I like everything.
I don't mind doing two or three Eagles songs and playing the drums. I'm not one of those artists who's going to sit here and deny the past.
If I could play drums like Patrick Carney or Taylor Hawkins, I'd be a really happy person.
With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.
The most memorable moment was playing drums with Bob Dylan.
Nowadays I get complaints about long drum solos, but in those days they wanted me to keep on going so they could go over to the bar and have a drink.
I played drums on Keith Carradine's first record.
The thing about Matt Cameron is he has made us 1000 times a better band than we've ever been. He's such a freight train on drums and such a cool individual as a man that it makes us better as a band, and we are now complete with him.
I've been playing with Blackwell over 20 years. We used to play when I first went to Los Angeles. Blackwell plays the drums as if he's playing a wind instrument. Actually, he sounds more like a talking drum.
Three times during the show the drums are lifted over the audience - I go up and out, right, left and back.
When someone is playing drums, they aren't actually moving around a space; they're just moving their arms and limbs. They're stuck behind the drum set. So to film someone playing the drums and make it feel as kinetic as a car chase or a shootout or a battle scene was the challenge.
You ever hear Buddy Miles play the drums? You know, he doesn't vary the tempo at all.
I don't even like doing drum solos live; to me, it's like, 'Ehhh.' It doesn't really interest me.
Just the same way I'd say a prayer before going onstage, taking that even further and using the drum to inspire people. And using that as a vehicle for the intention.
It was never supposed to be a hit. It was supposed to be a Joe Morello drum solo.
I always thought it would be really cool to be playing the drums in the show and then have your astral body or whatever travel all through the audience and dig whatever it's like out there.
Marvin Gaye was a killer drummer. I think he just played during the soundchecks and he'd have another guy sing his parts while he played the drums. He just wanted to play the drums and have some fun.
I would love to play the drums with 'The Who.'
Drums all have their own particulars - each drum has a place where they sound the best - where they ring out and resonate the best, and the head surface isn't too loose or too tight, mainly so you get a good rebound off of the head.
I see a lot of comments on Twitter and stuff about how ugly I am, how bad I am at the drums, how awkward I look, and I'm like, yeah, I agree with most of those things.
A great drum record has to sound good; in fact, it should sound special. It should capture the richness and the actual tones of the drums themselves, regardless of who is playing.
