I love to go see live music. That used to be what I would do, almost every other night, and watch drummers play.

The drums are what drives the whole thing. It's the backbone of the song.

To play the drums, you have to spread your legs and use your arms. It's a very physical instrument to play. It's not feminine.

Nowadays, there's a lot more that comes before music, that I need to take care of before I can sit down and play, and be a contributing member of a band or society. I have to take care of myself and my recovery, and then my family, and then my music.

It's always inspiring to watch live music.

I feel like I'm 11 again, with my drums. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. I'm just playing.

For people that are in recovery, you really need to stick by your boundaries. It's hard because you're sharing this space and this experience with other people who might not need to do those things for themselves.
