Any words of advice for players who are pursuing a life in music?  "I'm happy you said "life in music" as opposed to "career in music".  I think careers in music have lessened - but interaction with youtube and such websites has made it easier to communicate.  People can make a record in their home now!  My only advice is to do it because you HAVE to and can't live without it.  If somebody does it for fame and fortune they will be sorely disappointed. Be as best a musician as possible - study MUSIC, not just drumming.
