You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.

Lou Reed

My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass.

Eddie Van Halen

I play bass. I play a bit of guitar. I've never been to a lesson, so my theory of music is non-existent in any instrument, but we always had guitars around. My dad taught me to play drums for 'Love Actually,' and I still play drums now. But I'm not a 'drummer.' I'm not a 'guitarist.' I'm trying to be a bassist.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster

Producers like to record all the drums first, then they do the bass, then all the guitars, so you're constantly moving from one song to another.

Noel Gallagher

The hardest instruments for women to play are bass and drums. Drums because of the physicality needed and bass just because its heavy and it's not an easy instrument to play.

Suzi Quatro

Vocally, I don't think analogue makes that much difference, but with guitars, it definitely makes some difference. With drums and bass, absolutely.

Myles Kennedy

From the first album I'm playing bass on a lot of the tunes, and piano on a lot of 'em, and drums, and guitars. I did that on almost every album.

J. J. Cale

I like guitar. It just turned out that it's the instrument I learned to play. I have a lot of respect for it, and I'm learning more and more every day. For me, the classic band setup - guitars, drums, bass - will stay fresh forever. I don't know. I'm still into it.

Mac DeMarco

Most records, you build from the drums and bass up. This one, we started with the vocals in Nashville and recorded them live with just the guitars and tried to make that complete and lovely-sounding without any adornment at all. I really wanted to get something with the vocal that I've never gotten before Armchair Apocrypha.

Andrew Bird

There's something about rhythm and bass sections generally, how the bass and drums interact, that's basically the soul of any song.

Shura

I say that drums and bass should be very prominent, with vocals being the most important thing, and maybe very little guitars. I conclude by calling for no songs over five minutes and saying that I'm sure we'll fail at anything like what I describe, but hopefully we'll do that in an interesting way. Plans never work!

Ben Daniels

My family is all musicians - my dad plays drums, my mom plays flute, my older brother plays drums, my little brother plays drums and piano. For some reason, I didn't get the memo, so I just play bass.

Thundercat

I have two main bass guitars, and my main bass is a four-string 1964 Fender Jazz, and I've named it Justine.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner

The bass and drums are the engine, and the key to good bass playing is it's not what you play, it's what you DON'T play that counts. You leave the spaces, they're more important than anything.

Suzi Quatro

I don’t think the drums are a solo instrument. Drums are there to set the beat for the music.
