Edible Names Are What Drives Me As

We Always Feel Pretty Creative As Far As Writing Songs. We Write Them Together; We Just Get In A Room, Or On Occasion In Flea's Garage. We Just Sort Of Improvise, Like Jazz Musicians.

Playing Along With Records Is Key. And As Far As Equipment Goes It Has Gotten So Much More Affordable And The Drum Sets Are Of Great Quality. I Play Pearl; Their Export Series Is Great For A Beginner.

In Some Of The L.a. Clubs, People Can Act Too Cool To Get Into Your Music. That Can Get To Be A Bit Much.

For Live You Need A Microphone For The Snare And The High Hat, The Kick Drum, A Nice Stereo Overhead And One For The Toms - You Can Get Away With Using Four Mikes.

Playing Well With Others Is Important - Not Being Too Flashy, Just Keeping Good Time And Of Course Coming Up With Cool Beats. A Good Snare Drum, Kick Drum, High Hat. Just Getting Good At The Hand Feet Coordination.
