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.

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 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.

The present offers fresh opportunities

Success will bring recognition, money and all other pleasures of life

There are many things in this life capable of throwing people off course - the death of someone close, the loss of income or health, the realisation that cherished hopes cannot always be fulfilled

Cooking is a way of listening to the radio.

The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessings of liberty itself.

I am not the Prime Minister of French capitalism. I am the Prime Minister of France.

Maybe I couldn't be dafter, But I keep wondering if this time we settle our differences before a war instead of after.

A modest woman, dressed out in all her finery, is the most tremendous object of the whole creation.

Herein lies the heart and soul of the nations. Their right to be free men, Their desire to live in peace, Their courage to seek out truth, Herein lies the Sword of Shannara.

In real conversations, we are always trying to outguess each other.
