Learn how to take care of yourself, because at my age now, I wouldn't be playing if I was into drugs, alcohol, not getting my rest to take care of myself. I wouldn't be playing drums. I'd be wiped out. Drummers are like athletes. They have to have their hands and feet together. So I tell all the young - it's wonderful that they have health food stores now all over the country, where they didn't have that before, where young drummers are into health foods. Make sure they get their Cheerios for breakfast. Temper everything. I never was a drinker or a smoker. It was around me all my life, but I didn't do it, because I knew what I had to do. I had to keep my body in shape in order to play the drums the way I wanted to play. And I had fun doing it. While some of the guys were on the bus with a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey, I was back there with a sack of apples. That felt just as good.
