Some quotes:


~Hearing that his dying wish was to get his platinum albums, I kind of took it into my own hands to try to help that situation.

~I pioneered the healing art of drum therapy, in which we train the synapses and the brains through drumming, which the D.A.D. Program is all based off.

~Drumming helped me alleviate my disabilities.

~Yeah, I witnessed you playing with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Geoff Tate. . . 

~Eddie Trunk's just been great. He's been our host forever since the beginning. And of course, Wendy Dio, Cathy Rankin right? Cathy's awesome.

~The Metal Hall of Fame gala is gonna be Grammy Award level. I mean, all the way to the top. It's gonna be huge. 

~You may not get a great response. Don't give up.
