Drum Set Quotes

On rhythm, roots, and the discipline behind every kit.

These quotes come from working drummers, covering everything from jamming wherever a drum set happens to be set up to the discipline of sitting behind the kit even outside of touring. One traces real respect back to Baby Dodds and the drummers who built the foundation.


Another draws a clear line between wanting to play a full drum set specifically versus percussion more broadly. For related themes, see Day or Age quotes.
