Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers.

I taught myself how to play the guitar. I never studied music.

Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.

I learned my profession onstage. I didn't have a musical background. I had no conservatory training. I don't play an instrument.

So now I don't have time to practice drums. It's been five years since I've touched the drums.

Not really, drums found me, I just liked music, all kinds of music.

I've been studying on my own. I'm not really trained. I went to school for about a year and a half. I never really studied music, but, I mean, I did. I studied for two years, maybe.

Drumming was the only thing I was ever good at.

I learned how to play the drums. When we were in pre-production, when we were still in LA, I had a couple of drum lessons and then some in Toronto. I got the one beat down and that was it.

I never played music, but it's an important thing ... the studying, the inspiration.
