They were very supportive, but at first, they were like a little wary to see where I was gonna go with this hitting thing, so my dad went to the garbage in the back of the local Baskin Robbins in the local town I lived in at the time, Birmingham, Michigan. Instead of what the typical drummer would do, I think that's very important, and I think that a lot of drummers never realize that." - Joey Kramer, AEROSMITH In particular, the best example I can cite is John Bonham, because there were places where he didn't play, and those places that he didn't play - if you listen throughout his catalog - they really stand out for me.
