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.

  • @Chaz6993X

    Errr!

    Sorry dude, actually you and everyone who liked your comment "failed".

    The Doors did have a bassist, they actually had more than one...

    Kerry Magness is on the album "Waiting for the Sun"; Harvey Brooks and Doug Lubahn are on "The Soft Parade"; Ray Neapolitan is on "Morrison Hotel"; Jerry Scheff is on "LA Woman"...

    note: Do not trust what you see, but what you hear.

  • So Impressive! I'd love his playing!

  • Holy freakin' crap! I'm sweating at the end. Great job, Mr. Perkins. What a jam...

  • @easter760 POSER? WHATTTT. Posing as who? All the new-alternative/punk/emo drumers? Perkins has been drumming like this since 1985!

  • Amazing song¡¡

  • @Chaz6993X bullshit, ray was the bassist. he played bass. regardless of the instrument, it's called BASS.

  • CSI is the first thing that comes to my mind when i watch this xD

  • Fuck yeah, very tasty Mr.Perkins.

  • he may be good but i can't get past how much of a poser he looks like drumming like that.

  • @Chaz6993X He didn't say bass player, idiots! He said "leaving the bass, or the piano or the guitar part behind". Bass part, get it?! And for your information, yes, the Doors did have bass parts on their albums !

    Stephen Perkins is from LA and Jane's Addiction used to cover "LA Woman" live in their LA Medley song so you can fucking bet he knows the Doors didn't have a fucking bass player!

    (Shit. I must be really damn bored today to be replying to bullshit like this!)
