" I started playing when I was 10 and there was a girl at school whose brother was a drummer. I started going out with her just because I knew her brother had a kit, which was awful and childish but I was only 10!"
"It’s not all about fireworks. Feel gets overlooked now. Everyone goes on about feel and time but actually people just want to see drummers going for it. I like grooves and thank god I earn a living doing it. Feel is such a massive part of what we do. It’s not a solo instrument, as far as I’m concerned. ... What’s really hard is to sit down and go, ‘Well, lets put something groovy on’ ... I can’t hit home enough about the groove thing and sounds. "
" Producers want you to play songs, they want you to play feel and they’re not interested in how fast you can get round the kit."
