I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

The fact that Eddie Vedder likes to play 3 hour plus shows a night, I have to be ready for that.

So, I just kind of played the way I played and then eventually we kind of figured out what worked best for the band. So, I definitely changed my stuff up and I think we're playing really tight now.

I try and stay limber, swim, run, ride motorcycles.

The music has had a certain quality that people like just because it's a real true expression of how we are as musicians.

I've talked to some drummers who seem to have a very hard time staying in shape on the road, including some drummers touring with high-profile acts that don't have to live on fast food every night.

Creatively, I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all, and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.
