Editing Earl Palmer (section)

==Quotations==
* "You could always tell a New Orleans drummer the minute you heard him play his bass drum because he'd have that parade beat connotation".{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
* Late in his career, Palmer appeared in a [[music video]] with the band [[Cracker (band)|Cracker]] on the song "I Hate My Generation". As ''[[Addicted to Noise]]'' tells the story, "According to Cracker leader [[David Lowery (musician)|David Lowery]], when Palmer was asked if he would be able to play along with the songs, he gave Lowery a look and said, 'I invented this shit.'"{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
* "I've been asked if people could borrow my drums because they like their sound. What the hell, they think the drums play themselves? I said, 'You really want 'em? Really? Okay. Cost you triple scale and cartage.'"{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
* When asked by [[Max Weinberg]] what more of the recording sessions he had played on Palmer replied, "Don't ask me which ones I played on. I should have done like [[Hal Blaine|Hal [Blaine]]]. Hal used to get gold records for all the things he played on. I never did that, you know. I would like to have a room with all those things in them. It would have been nice—show my grandchildren when they grow up so they don't say, 'Oh shut up old man and sit down.' I could just say, 'Look. I don't have to tell you nothing. There it is.'"<ref name=weinberg>{{cite book |title=The Big Beat: Conversations with Rock's Greatest Drummers |first=Max |last=Weinberg |author-link=Max Weinberg |year=2004 |publisher=Hudson Music |isbn=978-0634082757}}</ref>
