John Tempesta Quotes
I’ve never lost that passion and I get excited and I love drums. I buy drums, I collect drums, and I’m still like a little kid. And if I change my drum kit around sometimes, just make it different, it keeps it exciting, you know what I mean. Some drummers, they’re so used to their setup they just play the same thing. But I like switching things around and keeping it exciting.
