I'm pretty proud of everything I've done.

I just want to make music on the drums.

You try to improvise in a compositional manner. You don't just do some stupid lick you've been practicing, scale form exercises or something.

Some great experiences I've had and little by little I've come to the realization that everything Frank Zappa told me was the truth, whether I wanted to believe it or not. You know, I was young and naive or in denial. But he really was a special, special human being.

I'm not Stravinsky, I never will be.

I'm happy doing what I do. That's ok. Some guy could appear tomorrow and do it much better than me, and so be it, but right now I'm just happy to be who I am doing what I do.

I have great samples of my drums and I try to program them pretty much how I want to play them, try and make it feel natural even though it's programmed.
