No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate.

Little things can make such a big difference during recording.

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

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.

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

I've always liked to be the kind of drummer and musician who likes to go outside of what's expected of me.

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.
