Don’t think about the bass, think about the drums

I asked him to take the attention off the bass, and you heard it get better

If you overthink something you can already do, you’ll do it worse

If a policeman asked you to walk in a straight line, you’ll stumble even though you’ve been walking all your life

The music is in him

But if he puts his attention in the instrument, it doesn’t…

As soon as we take his attention off of that and we put his attention where the music is, now he’s playing on with someone… his playing totally smoothed out

The tempo does not waver, because his imaginary drummer doesn’t waver

Things got a hair quieter- not as much as I had hoped, but when you’re talking with someone you don’t yell at them

To hear that drummer he has to pull back a little

It didn’t take practice, it barely took time, he’s playing with perfect timing without practice, because it’s already there

You’ve spent your whole life learning and listening to good music

What’s stopping us from playing

It’s that you’re thinking of an instrument 

There’s no music in the drums or in the bass, it’s in you

You’ll play music better the same way you communicate better

If you don’t have people to talk to, you imagine. That’s what kids do.

Kids learn much quicker than us because they have imagination

I’m never alone, so I’m not nervous, because I’m with a friend

My timing is good, and I don’t care what you think

If you want to play with groove, play with people that groove
