A Quote by Penn Jillette

I like things matching. I have an upright bass, a drum kit and a grand piano that's the same color. I tend to overthink things.

Yeah, my drum programming especially is based on my knowledge of playing a drum kit. For the bass too, definitely. It was the first thing that I translated any sort of ideas through. It must have shaped it somehow.

Tom Jenkinson

When I was a kid, we had acoustic guitars, a piano in the house. I made a drum kit out of buckets in my garage.

Brendon Urie

Women tend to overthink things.

Charlotte Flair

In the late '80s and early '90s, there was a slightly retro drum sound that was popular in hip-hop music called the 808 bass drum sound. It was the bass drum sound on the 808 drum machine, and it's very deep and very resonant, and was used as the backbone as a lot of classic hip-hop tracks.

Steve Albini

I took piano lessons and I wanted to play drums when I was six. Luckily enough, my parents let me have a drum kit in my room - which is kind of crazy.

Rex Orange County

I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.

Bruno Mars

I like mixing things up. That makes it more interesting. I love mixing in slower funk with what I do. I'll add drum and bass and put my foot to the gas pedal and press it to the floor.

GRiZ

The greatest thing about my house was that I was in the far end of it and I could make as much noise as I wanted. By the time I moved out, I had a full-sized piano, two full-sized organs, bits and pieces of a drum kit, and a whole computer set up for Pro Tools. I had this mattress in between the piano and the organ. That was the only walking room.

Zach Condon

Eventually, my dad bought me a guitar for Christmas, and then I just went from there, man. I bought a drum kit a few years later and bought a bass, started producing, started singing.

Tom Walker

I hadn't had that much time practicing behind the drum kit. I've spent an inordinate amount of time listening to and programming drum parts, but it's completely different. One of the beautiful things about using a sampler is since you are so detached from traditional technique, you're forced to have a macro perspective of the project. With an instrument, it's the opposite. With drums specifically, there's nothing that provides more instant gratification and nothing that's funner to play.

I tend to think about so many different things on a recording. I'll be trying to tune into what the drummer's doing, trying to keep everyone playing the groove and other things like making sure the piano's in a nice pocket.

Adam Granduciel

I love when things bend out of shape. That's why I love drum and bass music.

Kevin Shields

When Mr. Ludwig invented the bass-drum pedal, that's what made the drum set possible.

Neil Peart

I love pop music. I love drum and bass, Calvin Harris, all these electronic things, but it's nice to have something organic as well.

Gabrielle Aplin

I've got different drum machines that I use for different things, but I think the older ones are always the best when it comes down to getting that 808 bass.

Mannie Fresh
