For better or worse, I've always tried to march to my own drum and tell it like it is, while preserving some integrity and style. God, I'm fabulous!
I play the ukulele. I have a great group of friends, and we do things like have battles of the bands - me sometimes on ukulele, but mostly on drums.
Had I joined a straight rock band, I'm sure my drumming would be a little bit different right now.
When I was drumming with Mick Fleetwood I thought I looked half mad. I thought I looked half crazy.
Usually I like to have them, but going drum-less pushes everything in a new direction and makes it easier to keep things sounding different.
I was kind of bored playing drums in a band. Which was depressing, because playing in the band was kind of a golden ticket.
I'm definitely a guitar player, but it's the last thing I listen to in a song, after the singer and the drums.
Cello is my first instrument, then piano, drums, bass, violin, recorder, saxophone, but I'd never play them live!
I played the drums, and I was in a band called Funkasaurus Rex in Toronto. When I left for school, it became hard to play as frequently.

I was brought up west southwest coast of Scotland and my mother and father had a music shop, and so I was surrounded by pianos and drums and guitars, and music, of course.

You say 'African music' and you think 'tribal drumming.' But there's a lot of African music that's like James Brown, and a lot, too, that sounds very Hispanic.
I've been into music for a long time. I started playing drums when I was 8 and piano when I was 10, then bass and guitar when I was 18.
My mom had to beg the guys to let me play. I couldn't even play the drums right - Brian had to show me.
My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.
I play piano and drums very poorly and French horn and tuba all equally as bad.
When you're going for a joke, you're stuck out there if it doesn't work. There's nowhere to go. You've done the drum role and the cymbal clash and you're out on the end of the plank.
I wish it was possible to do the work and not have to talk about it, but it is traditional in the theater to go into the village square and bang the drum and say, 'Come see this show, come see this show.'
