I think - actually, I know - that I am, without a doubt, the world's worst drummer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The drummer is stereotypically the dumb guy. Maybe that's why I always respect drummers who do more than drum.
As regards my feelings about drummers - there's Buddy Rich, and then there's everybody else.
A drummer is usually like the backbone.
Almost the moment he died, they put him in Playboy as one of the greatest drummers, which he was - there's no doubt about it. There's never been anybody since. He's one of the greatest drummers that ever lived.
At heart I cannot accept that I am a well-known rock 'n' roll star and one of the greatest drummers in the world.
The one thing I do know is that I'm the best Taylor Hawkins drummer there is, and that is all I can hope to be. And when it comes to music, musicianship and skill, there is no such thing as better or worse because so much is personal opinion, and I can see that now.
There's only one drummer. We all travel to his beat. Well, I couldn't sing his song. Because for me, it wasn't a truthful statement. Well, Linda sang it, and it was a monster for her.
I'm the greatest rock and roll drummer on the planet and you suck.
The drummer is the backbone of the band and is the real underrated one.
I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way.
