Drums were my first instrument, my first love. I need rhythm, something that moves.
Patrick Stump

Drums, bass, guitar, keys, I play a little of each of those.
Mayer Hawthorne

Drums all have their own particulars - each drum has a place where they sound the best - where they ring out and resonate the best, and the head surface isn't too loose or too tight, mainly so you get a good rebound off of the head.
Chad Smith

I always wanted to play music, and always loved it. I saw a band come to school, when I was in elementary school, and wanted to play drums. I started playing drums at 11, and that's where it all started.
Patty Schemel

The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest while there is a single Negro boy or girl without a chance to prove his worth.
Mary McLeod Bethune

To play the drums, you have to spread your legs and use your arms. It's a very physical instrument to play. It's not feminine.
Patty Schemel
Image
I think it's really important these days to be able to relate to how the music flows and be able to speak the same language as your bandmates and the producer, rather than just talking drums.
Matt Cameron

That's the way I came up, writing and recording at home. I developed by playing everything myself. I was a drummer first and that's my favorite instrument to play. Once I get the drums done, everything else comes real quick. Also, we track in my friends' garage, which is really small ... there's not really room to record live with a band.

Monk encouraged me to emancipate the drums from their subservient role as timekeepers.
Max Roach

I'm writing new songs for a Broadway version of Tarzan, which is very interesting. I think what I learned from the Brother Bear score side of things, I've brought into the new Tarzan songs. Thinking outside just guitar, bass, drums and keyboards.
Phil Collins
Image
All I ever wanted to do was play the drums I felt good about myself when I played the drums. So I worked anywhere and everywhere I could lug my drums in.
Max Weinberg
Image
I've just been recording mostly acoustic stuff, drums, and sax, and electric guitar. I'm just still writing songs and what not.
Phillip Phillips

Some days I pray to the God of sex and drums and rock and roll.
Meat Loaf

We fill the hands and nurseries of our children with all manner of dolls, drums and horses, withdrawing their eyes from the plain face and... Nature, the sun and moon, the animals, the water and stones, which should be their toys.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I was a singer professionally when I was four years old, and I did not really begin to play any instrument - the first one, of course, was drums - till I was about nine years old.
Mel Torme
Image
I prefer recording drums in the analog format, but that does not mean I would only do it that way.
Randy Castillo
Image
You ever hear Buddy Miles play the drums? You know, he doesn't vary the tempo at all.
Miles Davis
Image
It is odd, but on the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics.
Richard P. Feynman

As a drummer, you can't fake the instrument. A trumpet, you could be blowing air a person who plays the trumpet could still say, Oh, those aren't the right hand motions. On drums, you have to actually hit them. You can't fake it.
Miles Teller
Image
If I couldn't play drums it would have destroyed me. If you're thrown in the deep end you swim, and that's basically what I did. I had to do it and with the rest of the band behind me and the encouragement I got from people from all over the world, I knew that I was going to play
Rick Allen

It's much easier to have a diversified career as an electronic musician than it is as a drummer. Nothing against drummers. If you're a drummer, you just wait around for people to ask you to play drums. But if you have your own studio and can make music, you have the ability to approach music a lot differently.
Moby
Image
Stick choice should be every drummers first decision. Sticks are the liaison between you and your creative expression on the drums. Getting there the smoothest way is the reason I'm using Vater.
Rikki Rockett

It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later. I started playing drums at 13, and when I got to the international touring level... I got interested in cross-country skiing, long-distance swimming, bicycling... things that require stamina, not finesse.
Neil Peart
Image
I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.
Ringo Starr
