    Quotes and sayings containing the term drum

    Drummers can have the effect of two bass drums by having a pedal which is double where you only have one and the mechanism will play as if it's a double bass drum. It's similar to that in a way, i think because the drummer's not directly controlling it from his brain - although it looks like might be able to do that in the future, which has its own complications - it would for me be an add-on to a kit so I could trigger a sample or a different instrument. The basic drum kit is great. Two hands are okay and when I'm producing and there's other drummers playing I get them to play with one hand because I think drums with one hand sounds better in many ways.

    Some foreign countries see our nation as an enormous market, and we have investigated a series of cases, a fair number of neighbouring countries have casinos, and they have set up offices in China to attract and drum up interest from Chinese citizens to go abroad and gamble. This will also be an area that we will crack down on.

    – Hua Jingfeng

    If you want to move towards a particular drum the arm knows that because it recognizes the gestures and moves towards the arm and it's important that it will be there because the drums are there, you're playing with the drums and you feel like your own body is responding to you in a way. So the idea is that machines are not separated from humans, but they are becoming part of humans.

    – Professor Gil Weinberg

    It’s actually the hardest thing, 'That’s all folks' is the most difficult thing I have to say. Because Mel Blanc said it once when he first got the job in the ‘30s. And after a few years, he used the original recording and, before I think the ‘40s, they stopped having Porky come out of the drum and [say the line]. He didn’t do it again until he started doing press in the ‘80s. And his voice had changed. He was older. So, when I say ‘That’s all folks,’ I’ll say… ‘Do you want 1930s Mel Blanc ‘That’s all folks’ or 1980s Mel Blanc ‘That’s all folks?’… It’s different. So I just do whatever I think feels good….

    – Bob Bergen
