I'm a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then you'd tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me.

My chops are still up, even though I`m not still in high school.

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

We never worry about the big things, just the small things.

There's a lot more responsibility at home, so a tour is like the opposite for me. It's like a breath of fresh air.

I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet.

Thank you for life, and all the little ups and downs that make it worth living.
