Most studios in Memphis had a house set of drums; the drummers just brought their own sticks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A friend of mine took me to Memphis advised me that I should get in the musicians' union. He gave me a set of drums and said, Stay on the job, son.
Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.
Well, we didn't have our original drummer on our last record. And most of that album was not played as a band in the studio. It was mostly the world of computers and overdubs. There was very few things played live or worked out as a band.
I am also a drummer of sorts. I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom.
I was always very aware of drummers. My oldest brother Henry was a drummer, and he drummed on everything in the house from the kitchen sink to stovepipes. He was the first drummer in the Gil Evans Orchestra, so you've got to know how great he was.
Led Zeppelin was pretty much what made me pick up drum sticks.
Drums were my first instrument.
I actually wanted to be a drummer, but I didn't have any drums.
Drums isn't my one thing anymore. I love to produce. I love to make tracks, write tracks, produce tracks, and I can't just sit back as a drummer anymore.
Drums usually seem to tune themselves.
