To have everything written for you It's not really creating. That's why I think symphony drummers are so limited. They 're limited to exactly what was played a hundred years before them by a thousand other drummers.
If he's a true symphony artist, he knows better than that because he knows that the only truly creative musician is the jazz musician.
I have other things that I have to do - practice my martial arts, take care of my cars. I don't put too much emphasis on practice anyhow.
