Fred: With good drummers, there's a dance-ability. Charlie Watts or Bill Berry from REM are not the greatest technical drummers in the world, but they have that thing. You can dance to them. Then there are excellent drummers, who have great technique, but you put them in a room full of people and nobody’s shaking their ass. They don't make people dance. I'm not great. But when I play, people ----ing dance. And at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. If you can move people with your playing in a way that they can't logically understand, you've got them.
