When I was
three years old, I remember seeing The Beatles on
television with my brother and my folks. I saw John,
Paul, George, then I saw Ringo. Aaah...Ringo. I saw
all the screaming girls, and at that moment I think I
thought to myself- I want THAT!
At 5, I finally
got to sit at and play a drum set at my neighbor's
house. He was a teenager and his band was taking a
break. I snuck up to the the kit and sat on the drum
throne and at that moment, I was the king of
everything I ever dreamed of! I very quietly played a
drum beat. Somehow, I knew exactly what to do. This
groove chose me, I did not choose it. I can still
remember the exact drum groove that I played (if I
ever meet you, I'll hum it to ya!)
ATTENTION FANS and FRIENDS! I do
check my page nearly every day, but at the moment,
there's not enough time for me to reply to messages
here. But leave comments; I READ THEM ALL!! Thanks for
sharing "My Space" - I totally appreciate the love!
I am on tour with P!NK again and we will be out on the road through 2010! Unfortunately, my days/nights don't allow me to
reply to messages asking for advice, so here's this:
Be authentic, lay the groove back, and remember your
ABCs: Attitude, Behavior, Consequence; your attitude
creates your behavior, and your behavior creates the
consequences of your life...so choose your attitudes
wisely.
THESE DAYS I'M P!NK'S DRUMMER:
She called me
and needed a a drummer for her summer '06 tour. I went
to Russia with her in 2005 and was blown away with
what an amazing a vocalist she is. She is quite a
talent, fiery and fun to hang out with. She is now a wonderful and true friend...

"The
Freedom To Rock" is about artistic freedom, in this case music. Where it's
fought for in a time when big business saw it as a lucrative product, thus
stunting the growth of creativity. A tale that is rewarding although
frustrating at times with big time dreamers and those not ready for change.
"Writing that rocks as hard as the music that's integral to the story." - Christine Ohlman
