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 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.

If you love me you never let go of me.

Life vicariously through yourself.

How can we tell people "never give up" when some haven't even started yet.

Killing Japanese didn't bother me very much at that time... I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.

People need to look at wildlife conservation in its totality. As soon as you lose the apex predator, it has harmful consequences right down the food chain.

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.

There is only one Church, and the responsibility for missionary work is universal. 'Every member a missionary.'

To gain a livelihood at the expense of all that makes life worth the having.

I think we try to box and put God in some limited definition, which is impossible.

To escape from evil we must be made as far as possible like God; and the resemblance consists in becoming just and holy and wise.
