Couple of questions:

How often do you spend your day working on/playing music? Is it too much, plenty, or not enough? Is it many days per week?

What is your free time like? And what do you enjoy doing best when you're not in that realm of work? :confused:

I'm doing something musical pretty much everyday. Mostly, I'm playing drums in the studio, live or just practice. Around that, I like to write on bass and guitar in my home studio. I don't have much free time anymore. I love to go see live bands a few times a week, that's good break for me and I encourage all you musicians out there to soak in as much music as possible. It really helps open your mind up and inspire your playing.
I actually went to see the movie "REPO: The Genetic Opera" the other day because I played most of the drums on the soundtrack. That's the first flick I've seen in about 6 months.
I'm on the road most of the year. It's a great way to check out the local scene and eat the local foods. Especially overseas...It's one of my hobbies to learn about other parts of the world. There's a lot to see out there and I'm fortunate to get paid to see it.
I used to ride dirt bikes, but I'm afraid of snappin' my wrist or wipin' out now. I'm a nut when I ride, I go over huge jumps and ride on forbidden trails!
