He was a show drummer. There were times that he would outshine Michael at their shows.

He often stole the show from Michael.

My dad was a drummer on the weekends when he was young. Being a kid in the '50s, he got bitten by the rock 'n' roll bug like everyone else. He had a fascination with American culture and the American dream. He fell in love with the idealism.

I told people I was a drummer before I even had a set, I was a mental drummer.

When he shows up at rehearsal, I'll actually believe he's here.

I could hardly believe we got him, ... I mean, he knew Michael Bennett personally. He did A Chorus Line on Broadway. He has toured internationally with the show.
