.... I know nothing about drums and therefore can't ask anything intelligent .... I only have questions about cats and they would be completely off topic ... congratulations, Dan! :)

Hey Dan I'd like to know you're approach to longer songs. When you have a section that has the same harmonic idea repeated for a while, how would you approach that rhythmically? Thanks!

I love your "solo" from Pyrhhic,any chance you're going to do something similar on the upcoming album?

You are so awesome! I hope that you had an amazing time creating the new music. Can't wait to listen to it. Hopefully you can have fit in a couple of solos! :3 Off topic question because I don't know what else to ask. Timon or Pumbaa?

Who is your favorite drummer?

I have two questions: 1) why do you use single-foot blast beats? 2) is there a difference between the foot technique you use for the 200-220 BPM range and the technique you use for higher tempi (e.g. 240-250 BPM) ?

What does the songwriting process look like for you? I.e. Do you guys all jam together to make the songs, do you individually come up with your part while listening to a demo, or does it all start with programming ideas?
