Well, first of all, I think its that he has a good beat, which is very important to me. Sometimes its ... this is something that is ... its not mathematically.... And also,   not every drummer is for every somebody. In other words, if a drummers great for somebody else, it doesnt mean great for me. Theres a certain mystical, certain things there, and it was something you can identify, you know, together. Eddies great part was that hes also very open minded: hes a very intelligent man, and uh, he also, hes the first drummer that I know--I met, that is--who played soft with the sticks. He really had a beautiful touch, and he was, as I said, he was very open minded, he was very susceptible to many different things. He still is.
