"Do you know why they call a drummer's seat a throne? Because drummers are kings and queens."
Ed Thigpen
"I'm still the best Keith Moon-style drummer in the world."
Keith Moon
"The drums have hogged a lot of the credit. We're as much - or more - cymbal players, as we are drummers."
Peter Erskine
"Drummers shouldn't just think of themselves as drummers. If you're going to be a musician, you should expand your horizons, compose things, and work with other instruments."
Stewart Copeland
"Drummers get bored. You tell them to play something simple, and it gets more complicated as they do it. If they're not a composer, if they don't have any kind of investment in the music, they'll just add a bit there and another bit there, and you think no! Don't do that. So you end up using a drum machine."
Phil Collins
"I don't have perfect pitch. My drums sound like a drummer, not a drum machine."
Taylor Hawkins
"I think that the rhythm sections, drummers in particular, are the unsuing heroes of the music. It's the rhythm section that has changed the styles from one period to the other."
Max Roach
...ufff... ich hoffe, es sind keine Doppelungen dabei.
