Advice to aspiring musicians?:
"Practice… when you are tired and you don’t think you can’t lift your sticks anymore, keep going. When you are ready to quit, don’t. Get inspiration from all kinds of music. Open yourself to other styles, other cultures, and other generations of players. Get some fresh inspiration from those who inspired your inspiration. "

Fisher, a left-handed drummer, learned to play on a right-handed kit; he now uses an ambidextrous setup with an 18’ floor tom on the left, as well as a 14” and 16” floor tom on the right with a 13 inch rack tom in the middle. "When I'm behind a kit," says Fisher, "I don't want to look at it as a left handed kit or a right handed kit. This set up allows me to move anywhere at anytime."
