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.

I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band.

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 don't like traveling, period. I like being at places and I like going places, but I don't like forms of transportation.

Playing my drums is therapy.

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

In 1996, I was in was in an acoustic kind of rock band, we were called Feeble. We were just playing locally.
