We've got many different sides of music to us.
From John Otto
I think jazz is a wonderful learning tool.
When I was young, I had one of those Yamaha drum machines, and I used to practice to that quite a bit, just to practice soloing and being in time and completing all my phrases.
I've always liked funk and rock and everything.
Even on the drum level, it's all about stating your theme, going back to certain things that need to be emphasized, not doing fills for the sake of doing fills.
I usually go with the first instinct, and then build upon that.
It's all about theme and development anyway. That's what music is about.
Jazz was more of a tool for me to use to enhance my musicality.
Onstage, it's more of a momentary pressure.
When the songs pop out, that's like the climax of us building.
