- Reznor had since parted ways with long-time drummer and collaborator Chris Vrenna.
- Dillon submitted a sample of his work, and was contacted shortly after with the opportunity to audition for Reznor.
- Dillon was subsequently asked to return to New Orleans two weeks later.
- "I thought it was going to be the same thing all over again.
- Instead, I walked in and it was more of just a conversation with me and the band.
- Trent liked where I was coming from musically, and thought it was conducive to the direction of the new record".
- He was featured as the band's live drummer on tours in support of The Fragile and With Teeth.
- In addition, Dillon worked with Reznor in the studio as a multi-instrumentalist on subsequent releases: Things Falling Apart, And All That Could Have Been, Still, and With Teeth.
