10. DON'T take too much advice from your band members

"Nothing against your singer, guitar player, bass player, whoever, but what the hell do they know about playing the drums?" Carlos asks. "Answer? Nothing!

"So forget what they have to say. Do they want to hear your thoughts on what they do? No! Of course not, They couldn't give a shit. Same goes for what you do. You're the drummer, not them. Tell them to do their jobs and you'll do yours. End of story."
