But there's actually a lot of punk bands out there that go out of the norm, use odd time signatures, or a lot of different tempo changes in a song.

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 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 practice every day, I warm up before I play.

A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.

I play Orange County drums. I love those guys. I've got a four piece kit.

I was playing with the Aquabats, and then I quit to join a band called Suicide Machine in Detroit.

I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.

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.

But really, anytime, I play on a practice pad as much as I can.

And I was in another band called Flash In The Pan, which was soca, Latin music, down in Laguna Beach.

And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.

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 mom listened to the Beatles and Elvis, a lot of different types of music.

I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band.
