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.

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 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.

I guess YouTube is the new destination spot for music videos. That's where I go.

I try to do an hour of cardio on the days that I have off, and then I'll do 30 to 45 minutes on show days. That's the first thing I do when I wake up, I have breakfast and then I'll hit the gym.

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

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