I'm Being A Dad And A Good

Family Time Is Really Important To Me.

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

I Had Sort Of Exhausted All The Avenues Playing In Detroit. So Again, Through The Stewardship Of My Brother, I Ended Up In California And Went To The Musicians Institute In L.a. I Wanted To Get Better As A Player.

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.

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.
