I been out here in this music scene for over 40 years and I ain't never seen nobody enjoy playin' drums as much as Robert Pasenko! -Johnny Drummer God bless Ya Robert ... You lock that pocket DOWN, baby! You lock it DOWN, man! And God bless ya for it! -Smiley Tillman I didn't even have to look up there to know they changed drummers. That other drummer ain't got no pocket and he sticks out like a sore thumb. You always right there where you supposed to be. -Phil Guy You my drummer, Posinko. .... You my drummer, man! You is my drummer! -Harmonica Khan Robert, I must admit I don't like you beatin' your sticks on that steering wheel while we're on this ice ... but it's O.K., you can drive this truck straight to the bottom of Lake Michigan and I ain't goin' nowhere until the good Lord calls me; Hallelujah! -Tommy McCracken Shit man, Robert's so funky you'd swear he's blacker than the rest of us! -Al Guitar If anyone asks, tell them you're Ukranian! You play great Ukranian drums; they will never know. -Roman (Ukranian band leader) Just tell them you're Bulgarian. It's O.K., we'll make loads of money and eat great food! -Niko (Bulgarian band leader) Check out this white boy; you know he's gonna play his ass off, otherwise he wouldn't have the balls to come up in no club like this. I'm tellin' ya man, check him out! -Guy at the Thunderbird Club Not many drummers can drive a band like you can, Rob. Most cats run out of steam after a while. -Les Getrex Goddamn, Robert. What you puttin' on those Wheaties, man? I need to get me some of that shit! -Sammy Fender Hey Pasenko, there's a big gust of wind comin' out of that bass drum, and it's about to knock my pants off! -Tommy McCracken You'd better stop practicing man, it's after 4:00 and they want to close the club. Ain't never seen a drummer with so much energy! I like that in you. -Johnny Drummer You and me got the formula, Pasenko .. we got the formula, man! -Mike Morrison I just wanted to say 'Thank You' Rob. You always gave me what I wanted on those stages and I appreciate it. Thanks man! -Les Getrex
