| Muff Winwood (Cunningham 1998:
112): Pete [York] was much more of a jazz drummer than a rock drummer,
and he had a smaller kit than most rock drummers.... So by accident, we
developed a technique where my bass had a greater role in driving out
the rhythm. This allowed Pete to be a little more flowery and inventive
with cymbals, rather than being restrained with the bass player doing
little lines alongside the guitarist. So it came about for those reasons
and I tended to almost strum like a rhythm guitar on a lot of songs, playing
eights like a rhythm part, just hitting one string, sometimes two. |
