In 1972, I got my first electric bass and started playing the kind of instrument I play now. I found that the majority of musicians couldn't bear that. They are not used to listening to the bass because they think the bass is in the background to support them. ↗

David is purely a conceptual artist. He didn't play any instruments or paint or anything. We were painters. ↗

I consider music to be storytelling, melody and rhythm. A lot of hip-hop has broken music down. There are no instruments and no songwriting. So you're left with just storytelling and rhythm. And the storytelling can be so braggadocious, you're just left with rhythm. ↗

My favorite instrument is the snare drum. In Scotland, the snare drum is very prominent in Highland bands. The Scottish style of playing is in my blood. It's a very powerful instrument, but it can also be soothing, like velvet. It's a real challenge for composers. ↗

Percussion is physical, as most instruments are. The body must function well in order to play the instruments well. Last year I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. ↗

Your mallet or your stick goes through the instrument, the sound goes out and then wherever the sound goes nobody knows, you know. ↗

In the piano, one has the instrument complete before he begins; but in the case of the voice, the instrument has to be developed by study. ↗

This is my second bass that Paul built me. There were some changes that were made. Sometimes I think of changes that could be made having to do with both the sound and the feel. It's definitely a beautiful instrument. ↗

Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought. ↗
