I want to keep pushing the limits for drummers and expressing myself.

A drummer is usually like the backbone.

Sometimes I play guitar like a frustrated drummer.

But I've always liked to be the kind of drummer and musician who likes to go outside of what's expected of me, and I've always been able to do more than you necessarily hear with every band I've ever played in.

I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way.

It's harder to play drums than guitar, physically. I'm always kind of on the edge. I guess that's how I play everything: on the edge of my ability.

I've been playing drums since I was 7.

Don't get too caught up in the typical ideas of what makes a good drummer. Those things are sort of unattainable, and they're not always creatively your most useful things to know.

Drumming was the only thing I was ever good at.

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.
