I did the marching band all throughout junior high and high school. Music was one of my favorite things in school.

I've always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there's a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you've got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in.

I think that when I did the Methods Of Mayhem record, some of the hip-hop stuff probably freaked a lot of Motley Crue fans out.

The quad toms are a completely different animal than the standard drum set/trap kit. Playing wise and stylistically, they are two different beasts.

I am such a gearhead. In my recording studio, I personally engineer and edit everything on computers.

You know what the most destructive force in the universe is? Regret.

Whenever I write, I only write about what I know or what I have experienced or feeling.
