_ _ [Eb] _ _ listening to music is really important for _ _ all musicians, but I think drummers, it's
important for them to _ listen to piano players and listen to bass players and guitar players
and singers.
_ When you're listening to music, don't just focus on the drums, and that helps
you get the big picture of things like song structure. _
_ _ _ _ It's probably helpful to learn
another instrument too, [A] other than drums.

So, I mean, you could start with a good quarter [B] note, you know.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ If you could play that and
put it in the right spot, you know, that'd get you some gigs, probably.
Right.
I've heard a lot of other drummers talk about, you can swing a band really hard
just playing quarter notes.
You don't even have to play the other notes.
Yeah, it's true.
If you put them in the right spot, and then you can put some stuff in between. _

[B] _ _ _ _ I mean, I still listen to, like, _ favorite old jazz records now and then with, you know,
drummers that you would know and things.
_ It always sounds different to me each time I
hear it.
The best [Em] stuff, you know, that's the great thing about the best stuff, is that
each time you hear a little something [Eb] different in it.
So, [D]
you know, whether it's one of the
great drummers like, you know, Roar Haynes or Tony [Db] Williams or Jackie Jeanette or [B] any
of these people, _ you know, _ I _ can still [C] hear things that I didn't hear [D] before.
