Stamina Is The Force That Drives The

Ever Since I Was A Kid, I Always Wanted To Play Music That I Liked, And Even When I Was In Cover Bands When I Was A Teenager We Only Played Cover Tunes That We Liked. That Was The Simple Morality That I Grew Up With.

What A Young Musician's Dream, To Say, "look At Those Chrome Drums. Look At That 22-inch Ride Cymbal. I'll Have Those." It Was One Of Those Unparalleled Exciting Days Of Your Life.

For Me, Drum Elements Are Like Hieroglyphics - I Think Of A Certain Physical Figure, And A Little Three-dimensional Glyph Will Appear In My Mind As I'm Playing.

Anytime I Have An Idea, I'll Make Sure That I Put It Down So That When We Do Sit Down To Write An Album, I Don't Have To Dream It All Out Of Thin Air. I Don't Have To Be Creative On The Spur Of The Moment, Or Spontaneously Artistic. I Just Take Advantage Of Whenever Creativity Strikes.
