I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.

I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn't last long.

With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.

The way I create music is maybe like a painting, to compose in a more visual way. Basically it's the music that I want to hear- that's my inspiration and bottom line. I just try to get ideas from books, movies, paintings.

So now I don't have time to practice drums. It's been five years since I've touched the drums.

The most important thing is that it's much more fun to play in a band than to be in an audience in a club. That's the main thing I think, that you can do it.
