Here is a snippet:

What’s the biggest difference in your playing style between Dillinger and Coheed?

There’s a lot to it, but I think that one of the very fundamental things, for me, is that there are not as many notes being played. It’s a very “right down the middle” type of gig, which is awesome. I had been with Dillinger for over ten years, and I had other things that I wanted to explore, be a part of, and try my hand at. This was definitely one of them. So, there’s [a] lot [of] space and a lot more of a traditional-rhythm-section thing going on in the way we approach the music. Mike, our bass player, and I definitely lock in. He’s very in-tune with what I’m doing, and vice-versa. He and I have this thing going on, especially on stage, where we’ll kind of just throw little things in here and there and that will add some variation [to the set]. We just let it go where it needs to go.

Also, since I have all of that time to get there — the songs are not moving by as quick — I can hit a little bit harder and lay into the drums. I have more time to react to things. Sometimes, if I’m throwing in a variation of a fill I can mess around with it a little bit more. The space is very open to me being able to throw different things in there without ruining the tune.
