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.

For me, I just try to make sure I eat enough and drink enough water and that's about it.

Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.

In my last band, Soundgarden, I had a couple of different drummers sit in on some stuff and it was fun for me to kind of take a break and watch the band.

A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.

Little things can make such a big difference during recording.

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.
