Being a professional does not have a very high standard.

From the time I started playing solo drums, doing clinics and stuff, you know I think one of the largest selling clinics I ever did was in Chicago.

Chicago

Stuff

Thinking

Half the stuff I’ve written was written when I was half asleep watching the David Letterman show when some boring actress was on talking about herself. I would just mute the TV, look over to the computer and start plugging in notes. Then the next morning you go “Wow, I like this”. I’d almost forget what I did, and then it would inspire me to go on and do the next thing. That’s what I do. Just kind of follow my own little thing.

I don’t have to be a success. I can just try.

Trying

I don’t really have that much control over where I play. I put out parameters and I accept what I can. If it’s really low, or I had a bad experience at a place then I usually don’t play there again.

I don’t think I can play the game and sell myself.

I don’t think I really started to seriously compose until around that time when I was 40.

Thinking

I had been composing just for myself, and people would say I played so orchestrally, and wondered if I thought about having someone write a piece for me for an orchestra. And I thought, I don’t want someone else to write that. You know I finally had made an overhead chart of my drums and what pitches the cymbals and toms were tuned to, and what have you. And I started to compose just with what I had for my solo drumming.

I have great samples of my drums and I try to program them pretty much how I want to play them, try and make it feel natural even though it’s programmed.
