Well, I never really practiced because I never had the opportunity to practice.

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.

So, to come In with a set routine it's something I've never believed in. It should depend on how you feel, because you play what you feel.

I think it's a fallacy that the harder you practice the better you get.

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.

Every drummer that had a name, had a name because of his individual playing. He didn't sound like anybody else, So everybody that I ever listened to, in some form, influenced my taste.
