    The most important thing he said the whole time: "You can be a**, but if you can keep time, you'll have a gig."

      The fact that people continue to judge people by their use of words is beyond me. Usually, those are the ones with zero talent and drive.

    As a huge Mars Volta fan, following them since At the Drive In days, the fact that Pridgen came in after Jon Theodore and noticeably elevated their sound ten fold with a distinct style..complimenting and sometimes overshadowing some of the best progressive musicians on offer says alot..He is an inspiration and an underrated monster on drums who should be in the same conversation as Buddy Rich, Peart and all of them

    These videos, man, they're incredible. I'm speechless. Incredible atmosphere.
    Not often do you see something that shows the insight of a drummer's mind. I'm not talking about the interviews 'cause they're too much dependant on the interviewer and the type of questions. But these... these are monologues, their own thoughts and souls from the inside. Please, keep doing this. Subscribed

Love how you communicate the work we put in (kids and pedals and endless devotion to killin the shit)...When I was a kid I would hear stupid drummer jokes. Try that shit now. And yes, world needs more love. Thanks for being so real.
