People who come up to me are drummers or fans of the band. I don't get it too much, but I'll be somewhere and someone will have me take a picture or something.
Playing along with records is key. And as far as equipment goes it has gotten so much more affordable and the drum sets are of great quality. I play Pearl; their Export Series is great for a beginner.
Sometimes one of us will have a riff or a bass line from home but it really gels when we come together. We really have a strong special chemistry that we take advantage of when we get together.
Edible names are what drives me as a musician. My next band will be called the Hot Dogs.
I'm a musician. It's what I do! I wouldn't be too good at anything else.
Family time is really important to me.
I had sort of exhausted all the avenues playing in Detroit. So again, through the stewardship of my brother, I ended up in California and went to the Musicians Institute in L.A. I wanted to get better as a player.
In some of the L.A. clubs, people can act too cool to get into your music. That can get to be a bit much.
I'm being a dad and a good husband.
I'm a little more of a lead instrument in the Meatbats.
There's something about the rawness of the live thing, there's no rhythm guitars behind the solo, nothing other than what you hear the people playing at that moment. It's exciting, it's about the performance.
What I accomplished definitely wasn't achieved by myself. Without others, none of this would have been possible.
Do not compare yourself. Find out what God has placed in your ability.
Every time fans turned on the television or watched the Dallas Cowboys, I wanted to give them the performance of a lifetime.
