Flea And Anthony Are Into Funk, Like

The Meatbats Are A Throwback Band.

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.

The Juxtaposition Of Words - The Color, Feeling, And Sound Of The Words Together - Has As Much To Do With The Story As The Narrative Itself Does.

Its Very Sort Of Spontaneous And Organic, Not A Preconceived Sort Of Jamming. Now We Record Everything, Cause Sometimes You'll Forget, You Know, 'what Was That Thing Again?' So We Record Everything.

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.
