Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.

I was always really into the music rather than the scene.

I've always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there's a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you've got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in.

Playing someone drum 'n' bass for the first time in 'Pass Out' - they're like, 'Oh my God, what is this?' I'm having a lot of fun and a good time showcasing the music.

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

I was kind of bored playing drums in a band. Which was depressing, because playing in the band was kind of a golden ticket.

I do seem to like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.

I thought I had swell ideas, and wonderful musicians, but the hell of it, no one else did.
