"We grew up listening to most of the stuff most New Orleans musicians
are bred on – The Meters, Professor Longhair – but the most New Orleans
you hear in this band is the percussive factor in the grooves. That
part of the funk is very New Orleans," Ivan comments. "A lot of the
stuff that Raymond plays is his own but he also borrows a lot of stuff
from great New Orleans drummers, particularly Zigaboo. You know, fills
that don't really sound like fills. The average drummer not from New
Orleans can play that stuff a little bit but they don't really eat and
sleep it. It's just the beat in our blood."
