I'd love to do music for films.

The best thing is to find something you really love to do and enjoy that process for the rest of your life.

I have great samples of my drums and I try to program them pretty much how I want to play them, try and make it feel natural even though it's programmed.

I'm not going to limit myself in ways to compose or how I should record. You just do what you can with what you've got at the moment.

Japan and Europe seem to have a little more cultural education and so the crowds have been a little more big and enthusiastic, and the places I've played seem a little more classy.
