|  There were so many individual styles thirty or forty years ago. | | I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way. | | I think at one time every drummer wanted to play like Krupa or wanted to win a Gene Krupa drum contest. This is the big inspiration for drummers and naturally it has to be the same way for me. | | But, when you have to resort to turntables, trick lights, flashing lights, fire and all that, you're actually saying, I need this because what I do is not all that together. | | I can think of a lot better things to do with my hands than to cut them up on the rim of a drum. | | But I think that any young drummer starting out today should get himself a great teacher and learn all there is to know about the instrument that he wants to play. |
