At heart I cannot accept that I am a well-known rock 'n' roll star and one of the greatest drummers in the world.
I do like to look at female drummers, because I am one.
Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers.
Like my best friend, I asked for drums for Christmas, and got them. But when he moved on to guitar, I realized two things: (1) guitar is a much more expressive instrument, (2) way more girls pay attention to guitar players than to drummers.
You are never, ever gonna get a drummer to dis another one. It's part of the drumming rules, as important as being able to keep pace or smashing up hotel rooms. Drummers do not dis!
As regards my feelings about drummers - there's Buddy Rich, and then there's everybody else.
I like to be one of those drummers who actually add to the music, not one of those guys who sit in a room 24/7 trying to outwit or outplay another drummer.
Drummers are conductors - we set the pace for the music - so if you're not relaxed and feeling right, the whole thing goes out the window.
I want to keep pushing the limits for drummers and expressing myself.
Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell.
