MuzikMan: Are there any CDs in common rotation in your stereo right now that you feel are extraordinary?
Gary Husband: Oh yes, I like to hear a lot of stuff. Many times not though, too. I love peace, and strive for more and more clarity ... but I like the peace INSIDE of a big pulsating, vibrant city. I guess I’m peculiar! I listen to a huge diverse range of music, then at other times things from a particular area of music for a while. Other times I love to hear very simple things. Other times I want intensity intensity intensity.
MuzikMan: What advice would you have to give to aspiring drummers everywhere if they want to become a professional and reach the levels that you have attained?
Gary Husband: Just work. Strive. Reach. Listen. Stretch. Work on sound, work on feeling. On your time. On articulation. Mean it, always.

Thanks. It is one of the best interviews I have ever done, I found it very interesting.
He is a real classy guy as well. Very nice to talk to and humble even though he is one of the most talented musicians in the world. He has worked with some of the best!

I had the pleasure of watching Gary workout with Holdsworth in Alexandria Virginia a few years ago. Nicely done.
Thanks
