Immersed in music before birth but discovered the drums at 12 years old by fluke. Took it seriously at 16. Largely self taught by listening to records and tapes and watching drummers. “For me, drumming involves the spirit, then the head, then the physicality, in that sequence of importance. Spirituality is the most important – you have to enjoy your playing, you have to be sincere about what you’re playing – the audience, the listener picks up on whether an artist is sincere about what they’re playing.”
