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

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

Playing my drums is therapy.

My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music.

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.

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.

In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day.
