We hear so many records these days that are done with click tracks, as opposed to a drummer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most great records really start with the drums.
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 was a drummer, and I did a little singing too.
A drummer is usually like the backbone.
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.
There's a couple of tracks on the new record which is sort of using similar sort of rhythms as the drum and bass tracks but playing it all live. It's a new approach to it.
A lot of drummers get sidetracked by the instrument. It can engulf you.
In the history of pop music, a lot of great records cost an enormous amount of money. There used to be a time where people that had means to experiment would do it, you know?
I'm not a singer who plays a bit of drums. I'm a drummer that sings a bit.
Drums usually seem to tune themselves.
