I play Orange County drums. I love those guys. I've got a four piece kit.
Can you imagine a 6 year old banging all day on a drum kit. I do have photos of me in my sort of princess girly bedroom with a bad-ass sparkle set.
Give metal a chance!
I am one of the barbarians - I love rock and roll.
Rock and Roll: Music for the neck downwards.
I always loved rock 'n' roll.
He was a very quiet and shy person but that drum kit gave him that voice. 'Bonzo' was the guy in Zeppelin. John was my dad.
To me, the secret of Eddie Van Halen was Alex Van Halen, because the way Alex played was so loose and the way the two of them locked together… Those two are connected so thoroughly they might as well be one person.
I just happened to wind up in a metal band when I was 15.
I wanted to play drums, and I got a set when I was 14 and just started to play in the house, to the stereo. I liked Ringo Starr, of course. And Sandy Nelson. I had his record, 'Let There Be Drums,' and I'd play along with it.
John Bonham, probably the greatest drummer ever - all of us wanted to play drums like him.
I've been playing the drums since age nine.
If I could play drums like Patrick Carney or Taylor Hawkins, I'd be a really happy person.
I started playing music when I was around 10. I always wanted to be in a band, so I started out by playing drums.
Rock n' roll is a participatory sport.
Dad bought me a toy drum one Christmas, and I eventually destroyed it. I wanted a real drum and he bought me a snare drum. Dad continued to buy me one drum after the other.
When I first came out with the Winery Dogs, I had a Bonham set-up. That was such a departure from the huge kits that I had become known for. It was really enjoyable.
With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.
I do play drums when I'm on tour.
One of my dreams was always to play alongside my father but I never got the chance because we only had one drum kit at home.
As a musician, I don't think I'm the greatest guitar player. I'm a bigger fan of the drums than I am the guitar; I just happen to play guitar. I play drums almost every day at my house. I wrote a lot of songs behind the drum kit, just having the music and vocals in my head and playing the rhythm.
I learned how to play the drums. When we were in pre-production, when we were still in LA, I had a couple of drum lessons and then some in Toronto. I got the one beat down and that was it.
I wanted to play some more grown-up music - jazz.
I need to be able to rock out.
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
