A drummer is usually like the backbone.

As a drummer, you're always fighting for a level that you never quite attain.

I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way.

Miles Davis is a major influence of mine in terms of the way that I am as a bandleader.

If you work harder than somebody else, chances are you'll beat him though he has more talent than you.

But primarily, the drummer's supposed to sit back there and swing the band.

I may have had a crush on Zac, but we are like brother and sister, so nothing would ever happen.

My mouth has a tendency to get me into trouble, but because I'm so small and I take on people who are lager than me. If someone punched me, I'd get my drummer beat them up.

It's harder to play drums than guitar, physically. I'm always kind of on the edge. I guess that's how I play everything: on the edge of my ability.

I like to be one of those drummers who actually add to the music, not one of those guys who sit in a room 24/7 trying to outwit or outplay another drummer.
