 All I wanted to do was ride skateboards - I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. But I had this problem. I kept breaking half of my body skateboarding. |
| My chops are still up, even though I'm not still in high school. |
| We all liked the Descendants and stuff like that, so we started playing it. It's not that it was really hard, well, it does take skill to play fast and keep up your stamina. But it was something that just happened. |
| My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band. |
| But really, anytime, I play on a practice pad as much as I can. |
| My mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music. |
| We never worry about the big things, just the small things. |
| I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn't going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn't going to happen. |
| In 1996, I was in was in an acoustic kind of rock band, we were called Feeble. We were just playing locally. |
| Then I tried out for the Fontana High School drum line, in Riverside, and I did really well. I got second chair, and played snare in that drum line for three years. |
| I play Orange County drums. I love those guys. I've got a four piece kit. |
| I was a kid, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good. |
| I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock. |
| I like Steve Gadd, everything he did with Steely Dan. There's so many. I like everything. |
| Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too. |
