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.

I'm super serious about that stuff. I mean, it's rare that I sit down at a drum set when I'm not touring, because we tour so much.

I've always loved playing in bands where there's like three or four people and we're all throwing out ideas and coming together to make an album.

I juice a lot; I get as much protein as I can, because being a vegan, there isn't much protein. But that's pretty much it. I just drink lots of water, too. I'll have a protein shake as well every morning.

I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit.

I don't like traveling, period. I like being at places and I like going places, but I don't like forms of transportation.

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