I'm never thinking 'injury' at the top of the hill. I've got my headphones in at all times. So even if (the announcers) are talking about 'Emily Cook broke her feet in 2002,' I don't hear them. I block it all out. I'm thinking technical. I'm thinking of when I need to set up, when I need to drop my arms ... whatever I need to do in the air. All you're thinking is positive thoughts.

The musicians are in these 8-foot-by-8-foot boxes with kind of a 70-percent screen on them, and they are covered on all four sides with lights inside of the boxes. You can only see them if they light up from the inside. Sometimes there are video projections on the boxes, so you don't see the whole show and you are totally relying on your ears. I use headphones more on this tour than I ever have because I can't see exactly what they are playing. I've never had to mix blind like that. They'll start off visible, then the lighting changes and they can't see each other either. They are playing strictly off of trust and vibe.
I wanted to be like the guy from Duran Duran. I wanted to play 16th notes and 'four on the floor' so bad. I was listening to punk all day and my uncle used to listen to heavy medal, and I really started paying attention to what the drummers were doing. I didn't get my own set until my dad sprung for a Pearl kit for my thirteenth birthday. I got headphones and a Walkman and I was playing along with The Cars, Zepplin, ACDC is the best way to learn how to play rock.

Where once such devices were relegated to appropriate times, now they've become necessities. The other day I watched a kid come off the school bus listening to music on his headphones, oblivious to the traffic zooming past him. And I can't even begin to count the times I've thought pet owners were talking to their dogs while taking them for a walk when, in reality, they were blabbing on their cell phones. It's a different level of use than we've seen in the past, ... It's becoming more of a full-day listening experience as opposed to just when you're jogging.
