    Pete Prada | Former Offspring Drummer

    Pete Parada, a long-time rock & roll drummer is today's guest on the "Success is a Choice" podcast.

    Pete talks with Jamy Bechler about a bunch of things including ...

    • ✅ Being in a rock band
    • ✅ What makes a great drummer
    • ✅ New collaboration with The Defiant
    • ✅ Mentality when performing at concerts
    • ✅ Behind-the-scenes look at the music industry
    • ✅ Controversial exit from The Offspring during Covid

    Pete Parada was the Offspring's drummer from 2007-2021. He has also drummed with Face to Face, Saves the Day, and the Defiant. In 2023, he co-founded the Defiant, which includes Dicky Barrett (lead singer of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones), Greg Camp (Smash Mouth), Johnny Rioux (Street Dogs), and Joey LaRocca (The Briggs). He also collaborated with Tim Pool on his songs "Only Ever Wanted" and "Genocide". You can follow him on Instagram (@PeteParada) and X (@PeteParada)

    TIMESTAMPS:

    • 1:16 - For those of us who are coaches or athletic people, we like listening to music, kinda take us behind the scenes when you're in a band, and you've got the front man singing and the beat going, that's the drummer, that's keeping the beat, so I am thinking from a leadership perspective you're the guy that is not seen up front but you are the guy who is keeping the song going?
    • 6:09 - Sometimes those songs that aren't released, I'd imagine you know that better than I do, some of those songs are more creative, and you like them better, probably?
    • 12:27 - Well, other than Bonham with that feel that he would have with Led Zeppelin songs, is there a song you to this day that you just struggle with?
    • 16:26 - When you are playing songs, I got to think there are just songs after a while that you just hate playing? Does that ever get to be the case, or as a drummer, are you just loving the fact that you are just beating on a drum, beating on the pots and pans, and just going at it?
    • 18:08 - Where did you come up with your style of drumming, and who were your influences?
    • 22:30 - Talk a little bit about why you left The Offspring and what's happened since then, and the comments of the punk music?
