Max Roach
“Who knew that he was gonna be a drummer? We just freaked out. It's weird, and it's a blessing. ... He was the hyper guy of the family, and the baby, too. My dad said he needed ... something to use all that energy. The first 30 minutes he started playing, we knew it was meant to be.”
Henry Garza
“I don't want to go and see a band that has no original members, ... Or if the drummer was the original member, and it was a surf band -- I don't care. The upfront guys really matter to me.”
Bruce Howard
“I think musically, if you talk to (drummer) Matt Chamberlain, he'll tell you it's really complicated rhythmically.”
Tori Amos
