My soul is that of a drummer.... I didn't do it to become rich and famous. I did it because it was the love of my life.
I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
I hate click tracks. A lot of people I know like to use click tracks. Like my son is perfect on the click tracks. It makes me to edgy.

I am, I definitely am. I'm really excited about that...
