I Began Both Auditioning With Pearl Jam

I Had Wanted To Play Drums Since The Age Of 9 When I Saw A Drum Set In The Window Of A Music Store For The First Time. We Took Lessons At A Local Music School And Began Playing Together After About 6-9 Months Of Lessons.

I Remember A Tour Where We Played 50 Cities In 56 Days. We Also Went To Europe A Couple Of Times.

I Finished The Recordings I Had Started With Eleven. Matt Cameron Joined For The Rest Of Those Sessions.

I Remember Wearing Overcoats, Hiding In The Bushes Outside Of Abbey Road Studios, Waiting For The Traffic To Clear. As It Did, We Would Drop Our Overcoats And Run Out On To The Cross Walk And Strike Our Poses.

I Began The Process Of Recording Myself Seriously In The Fall Of 1999. If I Could Finish An Album Of My Own Music, I Would. Five Years Later I Am Happy To Say I Have.
