Very occasional quote of the day: a lot of technique

“I could be playing for a month and never run into anything that requires a lot of technique. It might require that I play very simply. If you've got a lot of chops and you get bugged because the music doesn't require great chops, it's difficult to be open minded about the music. You have to get beyond that wall you set up for yourself.”

- Steve Gadd, 1978 Modern Drummer interview with Aran Wald
