- Tre: I just go and play. It's not a question of resting or stopping or wimping out or hitting soft. I play as hard as I can. We just know how to wring ourselves out. On demand, we just put in every ounce of energy that we have. It's getting harder. The bigger places that we play it gets harder to get the energy, because it takes longer to get ready and you're there longer and it's boring and stuff. But we don't pace ourselves. By the end of it we're just wrecked.

- Tre: It is, totally. The reason I just play the snare is that if you play the whole drum set when you're mad, it can sometimes piss you off more. Because it's a lot harder and you can be more critical. On a snare, you don't expect anything of what you're playing. But what happens is you end up doing something totally incredible with just one drum. And then you impress yourself.

- Tre: My hands are the first things I have trouble with, because the calluses wear off. Like right now I've got totally baby hands. Usually it's like crazy calluses all over the place. So here's a drummer's tip __ soak your hands in salt water every day for a week before you go on tour again. It toughens up your skin. When you take a bath put tons of salt in the bath, swim in the ocean, go surfing or something every day for a week. It dries out the top three layers of skin with the salt, and strips the oil from it. You don't want any live skin touching the stick.
