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.

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

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

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

Ben was more improvisational, and relied less on methodology, and basically is a guitarist who switched to bass, whereas Jeff has a more traditional approach to playing bass in a band, and has a great sense of what his band sounds like, and we lock up nicely.

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