As a composer I approached the drums differently than a non-composing drummer. I embraced drum machines.

I've been a long-distance father.

On the day of the show, I sit down with someone that speaks very good English and someone who speaks the local language very well and work out what I'm going to say.

I can't consider myself a drummer any more.

This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.

I'm not sure at all about the current prog rock scene.

Many people think of me as a perfectionist, someone who polishes and shines each song and performance. I've always been bothered by that assumption.
