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.
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.

Once I had defined myself as a compositional drummer, I thought, "Well, I want to be an improvisational drummer."
I never professed to be a great drummer but I was a very heavy drummer.
It takes a pretty good drummer to be better than no drummer at all.
Before you can follow your own drummer, you have to hear the drummer.
I'm a rock drummer. I couldn't sit down and pretend to be a jazz drummer.
LCD Soundsystem - they put the drummer in front. I always thought that was cool. Because the drummer is usually the guy in the back.
I had this fantasy. I would be at the Paramount Theater in New York and Louis Prima's drummer falls sick. The theater manager asks, 'Is there a drummer in the house?' I run up on stage and bang instant fame!
