DESCRIPTION:
Stephen Perkins' riveting work with Jane's Addiction and Porno For Pyros has made him one of the most respected and sought-after drummers of the 90's. He continues to play sessions, do clinics and tour with his new project Banyan, a supergroup featuring bassist Mike Watt, Geraldine Fibbers guitarist Nels Cline and Beastie Boys keyboardist Money Mark. Recently we caught up with Perkins and had the chance to ask him about his playing, including his innovative use of percussion add-ons with his drum kit.
