Jazz Can Be So Serious, No Sense

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.

I Feel Like In Order To Challenge Yourself You Have To Get Out Of And Do Things That Feel Wrong At First And Find New Things. It's Important To Look For Those Things.

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.

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.

Cardiff Stadium Was A Warm Up For The 3 Hyde Park Shows. James Brown Opened. And I Think It May Be The Only Time We Played Mini Epic Live.
