The Juxtaposition Of Words -

I Just Played At A Club In L.a. Called The Baked Potato. It Fits Like 90 People. It's Like Playing Somewhere In A Basement In, Like, Indiana Or Somewhere Where All Your Friends Show Up. It's Really Fun And There's A Very Different Energy To That Than To Play To 50,000 At A Tokyo Baseball Stadium.

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.

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.

I'm A Little More Of A Lead Instrument In The Meatbats.

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.
