I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.

Ikue Mori

With a computer, you have access to so many drum sounds and samples that your snare drum will be unrelated harmonically to your kick drum.

James Murphy

I just think that everybody likes good things. Everybody likes dogs, everybody likes to feel good and believe the best in people.

Rex Chapman

I think for music, it's global. You have a song, it sounds good, everybody likes it.

Henry Lau

I enjoy my solo career because I get to play smaller places like clubs and theaters, and the interaction with the audience is much higher quality. It also sounds better than a baseball stadium. Everybody has a good seat, and I don't have to play a specific part like I do in the Eagles.

Joe Walsh

What I ended up learning was that I had to do what I do well, and do it really well and say, 'Maybe there is no pop music that sounds like this now, but I can make it so maybe tomorrow what I like can be what everybody likes.'

Ricky Reed

Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's what it feels like when Nolan Ryan's thrown balls by you.

Reggie Jackson

When we listen to improvisational jazz, or solo classical violinists, the way they phrase and inflect melodies feels vocal, like they’re talking to us. When I was figuring out how to perform solo, I wanted to move back and forth between bass riffs, melody, and harmony, so I often used sounds instead of — or alongside — the words of a song. I found that if I sang a line using the consonants, vowels, shadings, and inflection we recognize as human language sounds, people responded as if I were talking to them.

Bobby McFerrin

Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me

Albert Einstein

I am, like everybody else, hurt when the thing I've done is misunderstood or attacked but I've gotten old enough to realize that if you do something, not everybody's got to like it. And if everybody likes it, it's probably not that interesting.

Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal

Politicians are enormously smart and rational. They don't have the same interests as businessmen ... But a man rises to the top of the United States. He's clawed his way out of 330 million people. OK. He didn't do that because he was dumb, or lucky, or something like that. He understands power. And he understands how to take it. And he understands how to keep it.

George Friedman

I don't like straightforward drum sounds and hate snares; can't stand them.

Oneohtrix Point Never

It seems like the first law of Nature is that everybody likes to receive things, but nobody likes to feel grateful.

Zora Neale Hurston

I am not the kind of person that wants to enforce my wants, likes, desires, on everybody else. I have no desire that everybody like what I like. I have no desire everybody say what I want to hear said. I have no desire everybody stop whatever they're doing and listen to what I have to say. I have no desire that everybody agree. No, that's not true. I do wish everybody agreed, but I'm not gonna sit around and force that on people.
