Kenny Aronoff

A nice interview in "Drumhead" magazine this month with Kenny Aronoff. Kenny is one of the busiest touring/recording drummers in the business. Kenny first came to people's attention as the drummer for John Cougar Mellencamp, with his 'fill of a lifetime' in the song "Jack and Diane". Kenny shares some wisdom about things he's learned about success... 1) The first key to success is hard work. Kenny points out that through hard work, people who are more talented will go further, but people with less talent will still go somewhere. They'll go further than they would if they didn't work at it. 2) The second key to success is passion. It's one thing to work hard when you're into it, but the passion shows and the passion gets you through, when you're willing to work hard even when things get rough and tough. 3) The third key to success is education. Constantly learning, educating and re-educating yourself. Keep growing.
