The drummer of Britain’s biggest pop-rock band talks about the things he couldn’t do without on his rider on tour.

Beer or coffee? Beer.

Crisps or popcorn? Crisps.

Treats from home or local cuisine? Local cuisine. You have got to experience the culture of where you are. It is a lot of fun being taken to nice restaurants but then again, sometimes you do miss Marmite. So I always take some Marmite with me.

Bed at midnight or party ‘til 5am? Preferably bed before midnight. It would have been different in the past but at the moment it is definintely bed before midnight.

Alarm clock or woken by friends? Alarm clock please.

Cards or monopoly? I think I would have to say cards because you can play more games and it is easier to carry.

DVD or computer game? DVD.

What is the ultimate item you could take on your rider? I would take a personal masseuse. Touring for a couple of months at a time means your shoulders get tight. It would be good to get on the bus and get a rub down.
