Gustav Quotes:
On success:
Yes, I’m really glad to see our efforts crowned this way. I believe that I’ve made the right choices. Drums came into my life when I was 5, and I’ve spend all my energy for it. When all the kids of the neighborhood were playing outside, I was alone, in my room, playing drums for hours. I was made for that, I was sure of that.

The day I saw Bill & Tom rehearsing in a shed in Magdeburg all
those years ago, I kind of had a revelation. I knew my fate would be to
play with them. And I wasn’t wrong.
On his drums and his perfectionism:
With me, everything has to be perfectly settled. I never leave place for improvisation, even for some small details. For example, I systematically put my drums and stool in a extremely precise place of the stage, always the same place. If someone tried to move them, even a centimeter, I could be really cross ! Except my assistant, no one is allowed to approach my drums.
