"I played keyboard bass whenever we were writing just to get things moving fast, because it can take forever to get a bass guitar sound. I'd then replace the keyboard parts after everything else had gone on, because bass strings cut through so great. In addition to the Prophet, I have a little Moog Rogue I used in the Stop Making Sense movie. These analog instruments sound a lot fatter, but I like the fat, funky sound of a real instrument.”"

"Then I was in Japan and the Tama people offered me an endorsement deal. I was never really big on endorsements and neither was my manager, but I was kind of flattered that they offered. I told them they’d have to use just my name. They could say 'Chris Frantz Plays Tama,' but they couldn’t say 'Chris Frantz From Talking Heads.' I didn’t want Talking Heads to be identified with Tama drums. If they broke apart one night while I was playing them, Talking Heads would be identified with a lousy product. As it happened they worked out great and I’m very happy with them. I’m especially happy with the hardware, which, to me, is outstanding. My deal with them has expired, but I went out and bought another Tama kit anyway. I have an all-black kit. I took the hardware off and had it anodized black, so it has this sort of Darth Vader look to it. It has a snare, two rack toms and a 22? bass drum."
