Musician, May 1991, "Fishbone Swims Upstream To Spawn Its Punk-Funk Hybrid" by Roy Trakin
FISH plays a custom-made Drum Workshop kit with a varying number of pieces, including a bass drum, kick snare, a hi-hat, a rack torn, a floor torn, Zildjian cymbals and an LP timbale. "I pick the tone and the timbre myself. It's really like being in Africa, cutting down a log and choosing the tone." His "Fishstiks" are customized for him by Promark. He calls his setup "my yellow Corvette." "I prefer not using synthesized percussion because the whole feel of playing real drums is more dynamic."
