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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And it feels strange, almost sad, to walk through ther empty halls. Each step I take sounds so lonely.

Helping others carries its own rewards, the first of which is a return to humanity.

We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.

Inevitably the machines must win, but there is still a long way to go before a human on his or her best day is unable to defeat the best computer.

Man is a political animal by nature; he is a scientist by chance or choice; he is a moralist because he is a man.

The sad fact is that the vast majority of drunks stay drunks. There's a small minority of us who reach that fork in the road where one side says 'live' and the other says 'drink'.

The more the society becomes a technological society, the less it has to hold itself together.

Nothing done with the focus on God is ever a waste of time.

Michael Jackson has some contact with his mother. I know she is involved with the children

Live as though Christ died yesterday, rose from the grave today, and is coming back tomorrow.
