My drummer is my favorite drummer in the world, and he also happens to be the funniest person you'll meet.

Aaron Bruno

I told people I was a drummer before I even had a set, I was a mental drummer.

Keith Moon

My dream job is to be a rock drummer and the alternate drummer for the Foo Fighters.

Rachael Ray

My drummer right now, who was also the first drummer in Weeping Tile, Jon McCann, told me that [Hip drummer] Johnny Fay took drum lessons from [McCann's] dad, who taught a lot of the drummers in Kingston. He said that when he was in Grade 9, the Hip were the model; the goal was to get an agent and gig as much as possible.

Sarah Harmer

Once I had defined myself as a compositional drummer, I thought, "Well, I want to be an improvisational drummer."

Neil Peart

Before you can follow your own drummer, you have to hear the drummer.

Srikumar Rao

It takes a pretty good drummer to be better than no drummer at all.

Chet Baker

I'm a rock drummer. I couldn't sit down and pretend to be a jazz drummer.

Vinnie Paul

I never professed to be a great drummer but I was a very heavy drummer.

Dave Clark

LCD Soundsystem - they put the drummer in front. I always thought that was cool. Because the drummer is usually the guy in the back.

Mike D

I try to keep my ear to the streets without sacrificing who I am as an artist. If a song needs a drum machine I'll use a drum machine. If it needs a drummer, I'll use a real drummer.

Teena Marie

At this point, I think I would garner a lot of hate mail if I was now on the cover of Modern Drummer seeing as I'm not a modern drummer anymore.

But, I don't think any arranger should ever write a drum part for a drummer because if a drummer can't create his own Interpretation of the chart and he plays everything that's written, he becomes mechanical; he has no freedom.

Buddy Rich

I was always very aware of drummers. My oldest brother Henry was a drummer, and he drummed on everything in the house from the kitchen sink to stovepipes. He was the first drummer in the Gil Evans Orchestra, so you've got to know how great he was.
