  "I started playing when I was about eight years old and bought my first drum kit for $75. It wasn't too bad and I went on to sell it for $380, so I got a pretty good deal. I got lessons for a few years and learnt all the technical stuff. When we started getting into Led Zeppelin, I used to
try to copy the simpler John Bonham parts on their records." -Ben Gillies
