I'm sorry, I find this hard to believe. Perhaps you are not aware of the inspiration you have taken from others? Nobody lives in a vacuum.None of the drummers inspired me, nor any size flashy drum sets or tricks . (Still dont!)
I always tap with the fingers , i never sit still....always tapping on table or silently on the back of my left palm.
everything developed from there..... and then I got into Charley's simplicity.
What a great way to get inspired!My Pops.
I remember sitting on a pillow in the garage while he and other musician's would jam - god, I was about 5 years old. This back around 1970 in San Francisco.
The music scene was incredibly diverse with a strong jazz scene, and obviously, an equally strong rock (hippie) culture.
I was exposed to a lot of music. My dad was friendly with many musicians in the bay area including guys from Santana (including Carlos), and Tower of Power.
He would practice for hours, blazing through books like Stick Control like he wrote it.
He did some session stuff for the movies.
I got to see him play with Dizzy, he sat in with Miles Davis at The Black Hawk in SF a couple of times, and played with Cal Tjader. He's been a working drummer and has been in the musician's union since the age of sixteen.
He's sixty five years old and still plays five nights a week, four hours a night in a little lounge in Daly City, CA. (Westlake Joe's)
I've been very blessed to have been expose to an incredible amount of music and an incredibly talented drummer.
This is my influence.
Peace.
After Pops, it would be Buddy.
