I get a lot of demos sent my way, and I listen to them, and sometimes they just have something very special.

Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.

I've been making demos at home for many albums now. So over those years, I've learned how to record music, and I love being at home. I excel when I can make things at home.

Everything I make as a producer, I visualize it as a DJ first. And all those beats, I test them as a DJ.

I'd do a demo recording by myself, layering instruments on top of one another, and while that's fun, it doesn't have the same impact as getting some great players together in a great studio with a great engineer and producer, then waiting for the magic.

I started making remixes for every specific girl I wanted to date. That's how I learned how to use Pro Tools, and then I started making my own music.

I'm very hands-on with my own music.

Still for fun, I play the drums, but I don't do much recording with them.

I am just a guy who plays drums.

I've just been recording mostly acoustic stuff, drums, and sax, and electric guitar. I'm just still writing songs and what not.
