An Interview With Tony Allen

May 28, 2008

Pioneering Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen gave a far-too-short interview to Reuters today…but, hey, we’ll take what we can get. The highlight is when he touches on what it’s like being a drumming legend:

    Q: How does it feel when someone calls you the best drummer in the world?
    A: I know I’ve done my homework properly, but of course it doesn’t get to my head. Call me anything—I don’t give a shit. I just want to move forward, I’ve kept on doing what I wanted to do. I kept on exploring and learning more.

The best drummer in the world, do you think? Check this out and see if your feet don’t agree:
