DEICIDE's STEVE ASHEIM Talks Shop With SickDrummer.com

April 16, 2008

SickDrummer.com recently caught up with DEICIDE's founding member Steve Asheim to talk shop about drumming, his influences and how both he and his drum kit choices have evolved throughout his illustrious career:

On his pre-show warm-up routine:

"I just practice some rudiments and rolls on my knee or a chair or something. I don't like lugging around practice pads or extra kits or rehearsal tools. On the road, I like to travel light, It's less stuff to lose or get stolen."

On his finest performances:

"The best playing I've ever done was rehearsing alone, with nobody around to hear it. If I could have captured some of those nights on a recording, my releases would have come out twice as good as they did."

His advice to young drummers:

"My advice would be to learn how to play other instruments and learn to write music. That has kept me in this business for 18 years and still going. With the ability to write music, you can write yourself an album to play on every two years. If I had not known how to play guitar or write music, I'd have been done by '93 and this interview would not be taking place."
