I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.

I mean, when it gets down to it I just wanted to play the drums. The rest of it never meant that much to me.

Anytime I switch to another instrument, I immediately turn it into another kind of drum so that I can understand it better.

I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture.

The drums are about gravity. Your hand naturally falls down on the drums as you hit them.

Come to think of it, the way I play is like a drum machine- very mechanical.

I had trouble fitting in, in a musical sense. A lot of drummers get sidetracked by the instrument. It can engulf you.
