Taken from an interview with Billy Fuller….
… Billy Plays with Robert Plant, Massive Attack, Geoff Barrow (Portishead) and many others. I also work with him in Malakai – these words were taken from an interview in this months Drummer Magazine -
‘James is a funky, heavy drummer that has more than likely given me irreparable tinnitus but can make my trousers flap in such a joyful manner I don’t care! When we both started working together, James handed me the baton of sorting out “the engine room” side of things because he respected what I had done in the past with Robert. This was a very nice compliment for me because he didn’t really need me barking at him to be honest, he had it nailed from the beginning! Of late, he’s got even better as a player, understanding the lighter touch that’s needed on the kit (even if it is a heavy song… take note kids!) to bring out a bigger, broader tone out of your drums. I love him to bits.’
Very nice!
Cheers, Billy!
