The video starts with Mark making the best statement and lesson any drummer in a band should see as the first ground rule: "I am here to be of service."

Before Mark shares one of his biggest mistakes he ever made on stage (with Cher), he talks about how he is prepared for the full 100% needed for his job and still remains flexible. We also asked him who he depends on the most during his shows with P!nk. And his first answer will surprise you!

On having doubts or making mistakes, he is also very clear and honest. Maybe his answer is obvious, at the same time it is also the best reminder if you ever find yourself in a situation like that. And that is why you need to hear it from this fellow drummer that has seen and been through it all and gives you the best free advice that you need to lock in your drummer's mindset.
