I love drums and still play frequently.
From Adrian Belew
I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.
I have enjoyed all the artists I've worked with.
I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.
For example, after developing a sound similar to an elephant trumpeting, I wrote the song Elephant Talk which gave my elephant sound an appropriate place to live.
Digital for storage and quickness. Analog for fatness and warmth.
Currently I'm working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year.
As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.
Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.
