Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.

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

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.

Put me up in front of a million people and ask me to speak. I'll flop. But put me behind my drums and I'll always go with it.

I wanted to say thanks... and share my gratitude for everything I've been blessed with. Family, friends, and continued support from everyone.

My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all.

With rock music, it usually revolves around the band. You go in as a band and probably take about a year to record an album. But for a hip-hop song, you can create a track and an idea with verses and choruses in a day, and get three different people on it. It seems like you're able to do more with hip-hop.
