They're the only ones brave enough to give me these opportunities [on being offered a soundtrack!]

To me, groups of musicians playing together, not fighting each other, but playing a groove together is one of the most exciting things to listen to.

I don't want to preach, but I really think the rudiments are very important to developing your drumming skills. Many of the patterns I've recorded came from things like paradiddles, flam paradiddles, flam triplets... They might be boring to sit down and practice, but not when you apply them to the drums.

I prefer black music in general.

There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.

I can't consider myself a drummer any more.

Would you respect me if I didn't have this gun? Cause without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one.
