I've always liked funk and rock and everything.
We've got many different sides of music to us.
When the songs pop out, that's like the climax of us building.
When the snares don't hit together, it's just the most awful thing to hear.
Sometimes the band can't fully hear your fill, so they come in differently. So I've also learned not to really step out too much, because you sacrifice the band when you do that.
I usually go with the first instinct, and then build upon that.
I really just wanted to play the drum set and match that. I was never really into the percussion thing.
I liked how it came out, and that's one thing I really was always thinking about, my meter. It's got to groove. It's got to move people.
We knew we wanted to take the strong points of our groove and emphasize them as well, and we knew we wanted to just totally experiment.
We knew we wanted to put a lot of melody into it - a lot more than what we did on our first album.
