Billy Bob Thornton

You use all both legs and both arms.

That's crazy.

You can play everything else.

Everything.

And he just couldn't play drums.

Drummers can get better and they get to be experts, but the thing in music that you can't teach is feel.

You can't teach a vibe or a feel to people.

Eric Clapton could play a lick on a guitar, give it to another guy,

He plays the same exact lick.

It's going to sound different just because of their feel.

I mean, Levon Helm, who was a friend of mine, you know, played drums with the band.

He and Richie Hayward, who was with Little Feet, Frank Beard and ZZ Top, you know, especially on their earlier records.

And, you know, Charlie Watts and Ringo and those guys, they all had feel.

They had a thing.

And then there are these other drummers in these sort of, you know, I call them science bands, you know, where the drummer has like 75 drums.

and they can do shit that seems humanly impossible.

But what happens after the song's over?

It doesn't stick.

You know what I mean?

Right.
