Rob started to play the drums when he was in elementary school (third or fourth grade) after he went to an Aerosmith concert. His mom actually knows Joey Kramer (Aerosmith's drummer) so he got to go backstage and see the whole production.


When Rob got into high school he was into "a lot of funk" like Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown, Tower of Power.


Linkin Park is NOT Rob's first band. He started playing in bands when he was around 13 years old and he'd play cover songs like Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' with his buddies. That's when he met Brad and they played for about a year. It was rock meets rap and funk, they were called 'Relative Degree'. They practiced a lot, played one show and then it fell apart.


Rob likes to play the piano when he has time. He used to take classical lessons when he was young and was forced to keep going



His most poignant moment was getting gold plaques for Hybrid Theory.


Rob went to high school with Incubus.
