Hey all,
I know that there are a lot of quotes and sayings out there from drummers over the years...I`d like to see some of them...They could be your own or from famous drummers...
I`ll start:
From Mr. John Bonham:
"There were times when I blundered and got the dreaded look from the lads. But that was a good sign. It showed I'd attempted something I'd not tried before."
Cheers
This is from John Henry Bonham. and I use it as my signature, your drummers not much good is he!? What you need is someone that's as good as me.
This one is from the great Buddy Rich, asked about pre warm up at a gig. Buddy stated I usually take my hands out of my pocket.
One by the great Elvin Jones. I play a small kit so I can pack it up quick after a gig, or else the sax player is going to take home the prettiest girl".
This one from Kieth Moon. 'I told people I was a drummer before I even had a set, I was a mental drummer.'
"A really good band with a bad drummer is not a good band. A really bad band with a good drummer sounds better." - Ginger Baker
Mike
Some great quotes so far...
Neil Peart:
To me, drum soloing is like doing a marathon and solving equations at the same time.
Cheers
Another from Buddy Rich. You only get better by playing.
If you think you stink, you probably do.
I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way
From Animal. Eat drums! Eat cymbals!
Vinnie Colaiuta, Anytime you strike the drums, you have to be aware that you’re creating a musical event
