First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.

I want to deal with what's in front of me now to the best of my abilities, and sometimes that's not very good. But a lot of the days it is really great.

I hate click tracks. I'm to busy in the click track to feel my own heart rhythm, my own soul beat.

I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.

The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.

The main thing is not to be afraid of that, to get to a place where you'll go gracefully, not screaming and kicking up a fuss.

I'm like everyone else, on the stage it's good. Not too much fun in the hotel or the airplane or the bus, but you got to do it.
