I'm not a perfectionist by a long shot, but self-doubt is a large part of my creative process.

I became this guy that does drum programming, and I don't want to be that guy anymore. I don't want to sit in front of my computer for 18 hours programming 16 bars of music.

I rarely assess live shows after I play them.

Unfortunately I've gotten more resistance in the last year than I ever have.

I build the individual modules to meet a demand. If I need the music to change direction, I want to have the tools to be able to do that.

I see someone play, or I listen to a record, and I think, "How did they make that sound?' It's not emulation; it's more building a vocabulary that can be called up at a moment's notice.

I think if people have more of an understanding of what I'm doing, then they'll appreciate it and get into it more.
