As a drummer my job is to reproduce what made the people bop their heads when they first heard the album on the radio, or when they watched the music video.

It works for me, the way I play drums and the things I do but I also would like to know proper technique. Mainly for health - to last longer, be able to play longer.

I am self taught. My dad threw me in with a drum set at the age of four and I figured it out!

I watch YouTube and other peers of mine. There's a lot of things I can't do and also I'm very unorthodox, I want to work on my mechanics and technique.

I immersed myself in the police work and I guess drumming wasn't even a hobby, just something my body naturally wanted to do, tapping stuff.

Playing drums or music, being a musician, is inside of you. So you would always see me tapping on something, playing on tables... I never felt the need to pull out drums.

I pretty much isolated myself away from drums. I stopped looking at Modern Drummer, I stopped looking at websites.

Once I became a cop and it's like when I got back into drumming; if I focus on something I become that, so I became a cop.

Even though sometimes you feel like you're hand cuffed you're really not because it really takes skill to play the music properly.

My dad taught me not to overplay, to think about my parts when I play, even in a live situation.

I shined off high school band, marching, jazz studies. At the time I was too cool for school, I had this professional gig and I was going home taking a shower and heading to downtown Hawaii, Waikiki.

A rigged convention is one with the other man's delegates in control. An open convention is when your delegates are in control.

Oh Marilla, looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them," exclaimed Anne.

I like challenge. I like to be put into a situation which I haven't done before. Something new presents itself and I see if I can somehow finagle it into making a work of art out of it.

You can't afford to live your life with regrets.
