 Interviews
Freese: Every time I get a set built they're just built from scratch and custom to a degree, but there's nothing too out-of-the-ordinary aside from me ordering the sizes and the colors.
Freese: Basically I'll write mostly with guitar, or once in a while I'll come up with a bizarre drumbeat and that kind of inspires a song.
Freese: Perfect Circle is more of a band, so I had more of a say in how things were going to go down.

 Synthesis : Music : Josh Freese : The Talented Mr. Freese : Drummer Josh Freese Talks About Musical Love, The Vandals, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Freese is an original member of The Vandals, and like the other members, has what he refers to as a "day job" as a professional studio drummer, and must take time away from his first love to pursue other, more lucrative projects.
Freese says that the music was intricate and complex from the beginning, but he also says that when the band got together to play and record, some of the dynamic was brought out even further.
Freese, of course, is joking, and the crumbing of the group is the last thing on their minds.

Josh Freese proves that he's much more than an amazing drummer on his solo debut, The Notorious One Man Orgy.

 A Perfect Circle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joined by The Vandals drummer Josh Freese, drummer Tim Alexander of Primus and Laundry, ex- Failure guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, and bassist/violinist Paz Lenchantin (later of Zwan), the band rehearsed the music that Howerdel had begun and finished their debut album Mer de Noms (French "Sea of Names").
At this time Tool was tied up in negotiations with their record label, allowing Keenan much time to complete the work.
Howerdel had mentioned in November 2004 that the next incarnation of the band will definitely contain Keenan and himself, and most likely Josh Freese, though as of 2006 it is unclear if there will ever be another A Perfect Circle ensemble.

Despite the fact that Josh is currently Sting's drummer of choice, he continues to pursue a punishing work schedule with a plethora of other bands and artists.
Josh remains as modest and self-effacing as he ever was, describing how "surreal" an experience it was to meet Sting for the first time, how playing with him is "a dream come true" and how much he still appreciates each and every one of the work calls that keep his cell phone ringing red hot...

If you ask somebody from "the industry," Josh Freese is a sought-after session drummer, who has played for Paul Westerberg, Juliana Hatfield, Guns and Roses and Devo, among many others.
Though there’s been little mention of it until now, Freese is also, apparently, The Notorious One Man Orgy, or so it says in the name of his first solo record.
It tells no word of a lie, either, as Freese shows his own bad self off a little, playing most of the instruments, writing most of the songs, performing most of the vocals and laying out some of his broad range of influences.

This debut from drummer-to-the-'90s-rock-stars Josh Freese delivers so much massive guitar pop that just a couple of listens will be enough to hook music fans looking to fill a hole in their collection of good-time pop-punk.
With titles like "Rock and Roll Chicken" and "Why Won't Left Eye Get With Me," Freese's light-hearted solo sentiment is in stark contrast to the drummer's more celebrated employers, A Perfect Circle and latter-day Guns 'n' Roses.
