Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.

I don't fool with a lot of things that I can't have fun with. There's not much reward in that.

Anytime I switch to another instrument, I immediately turn it into another kind of drum so that I can understand it better.

Lord, when the song wants to pick up and go a little faster towards the end, it's hard for me to resist.

Those bad times are important. They give you a chance to practice, listen, take stock, have a life, get your feet back on the ground, and maybe you'll live to tell the story.

My parents wanted me to be smart and be a scholar, and the best I could do was graduate high school.

If you feel like you're getting into a rut with a song, a night off usually fixes it.
