When I lost the use of my hi-hat and bass drum legs, I became basically a singer. I was a drummer who did a bit of singing, and then I became a singer who did a bit of percussion.

I always loved to sing so I was going to be the singer. We were looking for a drummer and having problems finding one, so one time, I was messing around on the drums and they just taught me a simple drum beat. Ironically, it was the beat to 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll.' They said 'You can keep a beat and you can sing.' It's funny how things work out.
