Hey Jared I absolutely love Cage the Elephant. Your music cheers me up in a way nothing else can. Currently waiting on my Melophobia vinyl to come in! Anyway questions:

  1. What's your favorite song by CTE to play on drums?

  2. What's a typical studio session like for you guys? Typical practice?

  3. Where does the inspiration for your songs come from? Songwriting methods? You have such a wide range of songs that you play and I'm interested in where they come from..

  4. Kill, fuck, marry with 3 of your fellow band members?

  5. And finally, any tips for a young fellow drummer? Technical or inspirational either one.

Thanks for the AMA! Your definitely one of my favorite drummers. Keep it up!

Ninja Edit: Where does the name Cage The Elephant come from? I heard the story somewhere but I can't seem to remember.

Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or 1 horse sized duck?

Hi guys! Huge fan here. Love all your stuff. First I'd like to thank you Jared. You gave me some advice on my drumming in the last AMA and it's helped me out a lot! So here are my questions

  1. Matt. You have this incredible presence on stage. I absolutely love it but I've always wondered what's going on through your mind while you're up on stage?

  2. Jared. I love the sound of your drums on all three CTE albums. Can you give me a quick rundown of what equipment you like to use?

  3. Your guys's sound has changed a lot over the last three albums. Especially in Thank You happy Birthday. Is that something you guys tried to do or something that just happened naturally as your music tastes changed.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Damian. Big fan. You guy's are known especially for your music videos. My personal favorite is Needing Getting. I was wondering where the inspiration for these videos comes from? Also how long do they usually take to complete? Finally, any advice for an aspiring musician?
