A bite-size insight from our interview with Bill Bruford. This is one moment from a longer conversation, and you can watch the full interview on the Drum Dog YouTube channel.

Bill Bruford on what he’d tell his younger self: ease off the arrogance, slow down, and put yourself where you haven’t a clue.

In this clip from our full interview, the Yes and King Crimson drummer reflects on being too arrogant and in too much of a hurry as a young player, and on moving from group to group out of a sense of duty. He finishes with advice for any drummer: seek out the scary musical situations.

It’s one for anyone who’s ever felt stuck on the comfortable side of their playing.

Anika Nilles went from a preschool classroom in Germany to a viral YouTube video, Jeff Beck's final touring band and Neil Peart's seat in Rush. In this video I look at how she got there, and what it takes to play a feel that isn't naturally yours.
