More From Duke Ellington

Average band with a great drummer sounds great, great band with an average drummer sounds average.
Average Sound Band
I was very impressed with hanson's performance. i thought that little drummer was a kick-ass drummer, and uh, that they sang great, i mean i didn't know either, y'know, that these little boys, y'know, i was very impressed. i think they'll probably be around in 20 years writing good songs, and being a great band.
Song Writing Mean
Yes, i always say that were a national league band. what i mean is, if you play an instrument, you have to sing. so i always call our drummer up. even the drummer has to take a turn on the microphone.

I think we're all actors. there's this friend of mine who's a great drummer, and he said, "i never thought i'd be a drummer, but i got really good at it. i always feel like i'm an actor playing the drums." his real calling was that he was going to be a magician. that's what he felt like he wanted to do. if you decide to act like a journalist, you'll probably be a better journalist than just being a journalist. what you're doing is, you're taking the executive role and stepping outside yourself so that you're able to make more objective decisions.
Real Thinking Decision
It's much easier to have a diversified career as an electronic musician than it is as a drummer. nothing against drummers. if you're a drummer, you just wait around for people to ask you to play drums. but if you have your own studio and can make music, you have the ability to approach music a lot differently.

When i joined nirvana, i was the fifth or sixth drummer - i don't know if they'd ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. and they were strangers. there was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music.

It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. it's totally different now to back in the day. now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. in the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there's some kind of connection.

The stage is the best experience in the world. it's a great compliment to be able to share the music, because people can hear my album but they don't get to make the connection in the same way as when it's one-to-one.
