OT - Das ganze Interview ging übrigens so:
MD: What made you decide to do a remix of "Crank That"?
TB: I did it for an iTunes release with Interscoope Records. I thought the original song lent itself to be flipped because of it's minimal instrumentation.
MD: Why did you post the video on YouTube?
TB: The video shows me actually recording the drums. I thought it would be a good way of announcing that I have a new remix.
MD: Are you using a crash in the video, instead of a ride?
TB: I often use a Ziljian 21" A Sweet Ride. You can crash/ride on that thing all day long!
MD: Did this remix require a number of takes?
TB: I nailed it on the second take. I don't like punching in-I prefer nailing it.
MD: How do your unique techniques-crashing one cymbal with two sticks, lifting your entire foot off the hi-hat pedal-play into the vibe of the tracks?
TB: I don't think about any of those things; they just happen when I play.
MD: Any warnings for youngsters who are trying to emulate you? Hearing damage? Damage to sticks, cymbals, drumheads, etc.?
TB: [laughs] Go hard. No rules.
MD: Why do you think this video has become such a phenomenon?
TB: Hearing the song with guitars and drums creates a different dynamic and offer something new to the listner. Our generation is open to anything.
MD: What would you like to tell all of the up-and-coming drummers out there?
TB: Express yourself, speak through your instrument, and take it to a new level. Kill all boundaries and limitations.
Fall das irgendwen interessiert.
