I was in orchestra in high school, but I really started when a friend of mine who's a drummer showed me some things. I was always just really fascinated with drums, it was the instrument I was always drawn towards. My ear sort of went to rhythmic aspects of music and songs.

So I think things have always been that way, it's just that this time around we had some more obstacles off and on all the time.

Many things are good, many are important, but only a few are essential.
The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
