I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I`m just going to fly them out and let them hang. It`s all good.

I want a certain thing for my children. I just want to be in their life. I don't want nannies raising my kids.

I practice every day, I warm up before I play.

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

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

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.

All I wanted to do was ride skateboards - I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. But I had this problem. I kept breaking half of my body skateboarding.
