He didn’t care that I wanted to tune my drums differently, it was all cool.

I’ve got a strange, scrambled way of working.
I know how to use most pieces of equipment, but I don’t necessarily know what they do or why they do it.

He was a master at both what not to do in the studio and what to do in the studio.
