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.
But Levon, just playing on a little four-piece kit, just had that feel.
And he played the song.
So anytime musicians start thinking it's all about their thing.
Like if you're doing movies, the prop people think you need 11 watches on each arm.
It's like about your department, everything.
Five briefcases and watches everywhere and shit.
And it's like, no, I'll just take an old time ex with a round face.
I'm good, you know.
But when musicians start thinking that they have to make their part cut through and be noticed, the best drummers, you don't really notice them.
You hear the song, if you go in there and dig deep and listen to them, if you isolate them and just listen to that, you're like, oh, okay.
