Yuri and I sat down to have a good old fashioned conversation about a lot. Notable topics include MxPx, making drums, best and worst neighbors, playing drums, the #FREEBRITNEY movement, what it was like to grow up in the public eye, and we analyze songs we’ve played throughout 10 Rounds of our Between This World and the Next Live Shows
