Because it is a discipline.

I do respect it.

But there's this other side that I was finding.

I was driving around and I would be listening to songs and all of these creative ideas for playing drums along to the song.

were magically there in the car and then I go into the drum room and they just disappeared.

And I would put the song on and it still didn't happen.

One of it was, I wasn't able to execute the ideas I had in my head.

I couldn't feel them and think them and execute them with the tempo of the song.

It was just, it was like, you know, I hadn't even learned how to crawl and I was trying to, you know, start sprinting down the street.

So I've been just doing it slowly, singing these fills, and I go into the drum room now, and I have the same mindset I have when I know I'm going to have a set, a good set.

When I walk out and I'm not thinking anything, and I have no idea what I want to open with, which is kind of how I try to be as much as I can,

It makes me in the room.

It makes me present.

It's just like, I don't know.

If you do anything creative, you kind of have to figure out how your brain works, you know?

You gotta learn, like, if I go down this road, it's leading towards staleness, depression, writer's block.

If I go down this road, this is silly, this is light, this is fun, there's no pressure.

That's the road you go down to, and you can get into a zone.

So I've finally been able to get that feeling into my drum room.

I still suck.
