Drum Quotes

I play a percussion instrument, not a musical saw; it needs no amplification. Where it’s needed, they put a microphone in front of the bass drum. But, I don’t think it’s necessary to play that way every night Picture Quote #1

Every time I talk about this, I say: when the singer is singing, he must be respected, you must be able to hear what he’s saying. You can’t put a trombone and a drum up there, and a microphone on the drum, microphones on everybody. You can’t hear what he’s saying Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I hear a drum groove in my head and I rush down to my studio Picture Quote #1

Nowadays I get complaints about long drum solos, but in those days they wanted me to keep on going so they could go over to the bar and have a drink Picture Quote #1

As soon as war is declared it will be impossible to hold the poets back. Rhyme is still the most effective drum Picture Quote #1

I love the percussion. It’s a right brain, left brain thing. There are different beats, but cooperating together. It’s your whole body doing it, you’re doing the snare drum and the high top with your hands and the bass drum with your foot. You’re this whole motion machine Picture Quote #1

Some records with drum machines on them sound phony and plastic. It all depends on how you use the tools Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing that we said about the horn before: it’s a focus issue. It’s like a singer versus a drummer. If a drummer’s playing a drum beat, and a singer starts singing, what do you think the audience is going to do? Picture Quote #1

This was totally influenced by me and the direction that I am writing about and the stuff that I am writing about. There is just no way that you can be as intense as what I have been through in my life over a drum beat machine, sample, or loop; it’s just not going to happen Picture Quote #1

In all the music that deals with experimental repetition, drum and bass, dub, various kinds of house music, there’s always been a quality of atmosphere and ambience Picture Quote #1

And on the war, I think my numbers would be a lot higher if I were out there beating the drum for this war. In fact, I don’t think it, I know it. But I can’t be for the war Picture Quote #1

The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent Picture Quote #1

Embrace the faff. Stare out of the window. Bend paperclips. Stand in the middle of the room trying to remember what you came downstairs for. Pace. Drum your fingertips. Move papers around. Hum. Look at the garden Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there’s a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you’ve got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in Picture Quote #1

When you’re going for a joke, you’re stuck out there if it doesn’t work. There’s nowhere to go. You’ve done the drum role and the cymbal clash and you’re out on the end of the plank Picture Quote #1

On horseback you feel as if you’re moving in time to classical music; a camel seems to progress to the beat of a drum played by a drunk Picture Quote #1

Tell me my heart beats a war drum that my eyes are not just armies but my spine is a harpoon Picture Quote #1

Just give a drum roll, announce my name and I come out and sing. I have a contract that says I’m a singer. So I sing Picture Quote #1

If I get married again, I want a guy there with a drum to do rimshots during the vows Picture Quote #1

When, within our souls and psyches we are made aware of a safe but insistent drum beat, repeated like butterfly wings in motion, we sense the message... that our inner self has begun its search for freedom Picture Quote #1

I feel like a drummer with no sticks and somebody keeps farting on my snare drum Picture Quote #1

Making music is a lifestyle; go to the studio and sit in front of your computer, drum machine or guitar for 10 hours a day. The good stuff will come Picture Quote #1

If I do a song where I’m angry, when it’s time to perform it live I’m not mad, I’m happy. I’m at a concert. But I have to somehow drum up that rage. That’s acting Picture Quote #1

To me, drum soloing is like doing a marathon and solving equations at the same time Picture Quote #1

Sharper than a serpents tongue, tighter than a bongo drum, quicker than a one night stand, slicker than a mambo band Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to work, I want to bang on the drum all day Picture Quote #1

I realized that there was something internal that I could gain from pursuing this career as an actor. However, once I got into the business I just really abhorred what this career can drum up inside of a person Picture Quote #1

The quad toms are a completely different animal than the standard drum set/trap kit. Playing wise and stylistically, they are two different beasts Picture Quote #1

The heroic hours of life do not announce their presence by drum and trumpet, challenging us to be true to ourselves by appeals to the martial spirit that keeps the blood at heat. Some little, unassuming, unobtrusive choice presents itself before us slyly and craftily, glib and insinuating, in the modest garb of innocence.... Then it is that you will be summoned to show the courage of adventurous youth Picture Quote #1

I get my sticks and go out to the shed, and I pound on that drum like it was my boss’s head Picture Quote #1
