I'm the drummer that kind of plays more on top of the beat.

When I joined, they were like "Woah, dude!", because I came right out of that type of playing. But obviously with P. Roach there's more groove. I like doing those slower big fills, but I also like injecting some of that punk rock urgency. But I definitely need to mix it up, because if I was playing all fast fills all the time, it just wouldn't work.

You always go in with the intention of playing your best and knowing the material you're auditioning.

After doing those Mötley Crüe and Nickelback shows where the demographic is a little older, Papa Roach got a lot of fans from those tours. And now we have parents saying "Yeah my kids are into you guys!" It's cool.

We're striving to stay in the arenas. We [Papa Roach] had just little things that just took our show a step up and were so stoked for that.

I was still doing the punk thing, but also playing in some indie bands, I had a less crazy hairstyle.
