I guess YouTube is the new destination spot for music videos. That's where I go.
Once in a while, I'll slip and get off my vegan diet and have egg whites in the morning, that's a good source of protein while I'm out on the road. If I can feel my body starting to tire, those are good to keep you healthy.
I juice a lot; I get as much protein as I can, because being a vegan, there isn't much protein. But that's pretty much it. I just drink lots of water, too. I'll have a protein shake as well every morning.
I want to beat the world record for the number of beats per second on a drum pad.
I looked Death right in the face.
I wanted to say thanks... and share my gratitude for everything I've been blessed with. Family, friends, and continued support from everyone.
It seems like I have more in common - or hit it off better - with rappers than fools that are in rock music. It was always natural for me.
I listen to everything from jazz to reggae to heavy metal and I kind of combine everything to make something different
I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I`m just going to fly them out and let them hang. It`s all good.
I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit.
I have my kids every Friday through Monday, and I don't leave them the whole time I have them.
Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.
In 1996, I was in was in an acoustic kind of rock band, we were called Feeble. We were just playing locally.
In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day.
