\nOn what he loves most about drumming:
\nJoey: \u201cThe simplest beats, on what rock music or any music has been formed on, can be the toughest beats to execute and perform, because it\u2019s really easy to not respect a simple 4\/4 beat because people always want to play fast. Sometimes, a lot of drummers will try and rush into the technicality of, if it isn\u2019t fast, or I\u2019m not faster than that guy, then I\u2019m not a good drummer. My advice always is to start very simple and master your timing and master the most simple beats that you can and you just keep elevating from that. Trying to go right into playing fast is not necessarily the best way to go about it, because if you don\u2019t have your foundation locked in, it\u2019s hard to progress. It\u2019s very hard to go back. I know a lot of drummers that just went into speed and they have a very hard time locking into a really simple groove. It\u2019s really weird, so I\u2019d say start from the ground up at the basics and move forward from there. That\u2019s the way I did it. It worked for me.\u201d
\nOn the current state of his health after overcoming the neurological condition acute transverse myelitis, an inflammation of the spinal cord which damages nerve fibers, which ultimately led to Jordison losing the use of his legs:
\nJoey: \u201cWith me, I would never lose my sight of music. Music is actually really what got me through a lot of it because there\u2019s no way this thing is going to beat me. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m not going back out on tour. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m not going to play drums; it\u2019s not going to happen. I\u2019d ask the doctors and stuff like that: \u2018Will I be able to walk again and play and drums?\u2019 Honestly, the doctors would look at me and they wouldn\u2019t be able to tell me. And, from that moment, I knew that I was going to beat it and I wasn\u2019t going to let anything stop me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
