When asked if the music has brought in excessive income for him, he said, "Everything is subjective, I think I can live very comfortably-thank God-but it does not happen in one night I've done [into drummer ] for 30 years , so this is the result I get after decades of hard work, I am one of the hardest working drummers in the whole world, I'm toiling for everything I have right now. "
"I have one wife and two children, my daughter is finishing her college, so I work very hard, luckily, I can make them live comfortable, but this is all ... I do not know what to say. Yes, I may be able to compare with many young bands, especially with those in metal and progressive music If you compare me to a pop star or a rapper or an athlete, my life will look ordinary It's all relative, "added the aged drummer 48 this year.
