The Meatbats Are A Throwback Band.

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.

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.

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.

Drums All Have Their Own Particulars - Each Drum Has A Place Where They Sound The Best - Where They Ring Out And Resonate The Best, And The Head Surface Isn't Too Loose Or Too Tight, Mainly So You Get A Good Rebound Off Of The Head.

The Meatbats Are A Throwback Band.
