And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.

When I look at music, everything is blurred, and I like it that way. I grew up like that, hanging out with different types of people who listened to so many different types of music. I never wanted to be part of any one clique. I loved it all.

I listen to everything from jazz to reggae to heavy metal and I kind of combine everything to make something different

I was a kid, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good.

It seems like I have more in common - or hit it off better - with rappers than fools that are in rock music. It was always natural for me.

I play Orange County drums. I love those guys. I've got a four piece kit.
