I've figured out what to do with my hands... onstage. I'm a percussion player, so I grab a tambourine as much as I can.

I use my hands like a sculptor, to mold and shape the sound I want, to clarify.

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

It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge. I still enjoy using drumsticks and a snare drum.

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

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

Usually I like to have them, but going drum-less pushes everything in a new direction and makes it easier to keep things sounding different.

If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum.
