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.

I think every band is a little cautious when the drummer starts to write tunes.

Little things can make such a big difference during recording.

I think it's really important these days to be able to relate to how the music flows and be able to speak the same language as your bandmates and the producer, rather than just talking drums.

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

When I first went on tour with PJ in '98, I was still in shock having gone through the Soundgarden break up.
