Quote

Gaps can be very emotional. I mean, that's in my drumming. When I drum, you know, I don't need to drum all over the track. I play with the singer and I can back off.

That's when we decided to stop in '66. Everyone thought we toured for years, you know, but we didn't. I joined in '62, and we'd finished touring in '66 to go into the studio where we could hear each other... and create any fantasy that came out of anybody's brain.

I've never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I've always played with other musicians. It's how I play, there's no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play.

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.

I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.

I'm not going to say anything because nobody believes me when I do.

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
