Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.

I`ve always liked Dennis Chambers, he`s real flashy.

I tattooed my body so I couldn't fall back on anything. I purposely did that so I couldn't get a normal job and live a normal life. I did it so I had to play music.

I like Steve Gadd, everything he did with Steely Dan. There's so many. I like everything.

My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

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.

In junior high, I sang in madrigals, men's' and women's' choir. I played piano too, but then I got out of it.
