I moved out of my house at 17 and half, I rented an apartment... I pulled all the things off. It was pretty amazing and I lived a pretty good life, I had a car and I was making good money.

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.

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 am heartily glad that the trees and plants are still interested in copulatory activities

Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.

To describe drunkenness for the colorful vocabulary is rather cynical. There is nothing easier than to capitalize on drunkards.

In every situation, feel before acting, just for a second. Look for a feeling.

You're tearing me apart!

Now go and stake some vamps. Especially the sparkly emo ones.

Rama was not only on the lips of Hanuman. He was enthroned in his heart. He gave Hanuman exhaustless strength.

You know how gossip is. It's the toxic waste of small town

An Associated Press report by Chicago-based reporter Sharon Cohen in May 1993 examined Christian fundamentalists and concluded that they were prone to 'riots, terrorism - and death.'

It has taken me all my life to understand it is not necessary to understand everything.
