I'm the Best Keith Moon-type drummer in the world.

Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.

Mistreating your drum set is just one step below child abuse

I remember in the early days when we played six nights a week for a month and I was doing my long drum solo every night. My hands were covered in blisters.

Sometimes you'd come up against a brick wall... or sometimes you go into a fill and you'd know halfway through it was going to be disastrous.

People who don't take care of their drums really annoy me.

Most of it was nuts, but I was determined to be a drummer as soon as I left school.
