Jason Hann, drummer for The String Cheese Incident and SCIde project EOTO (both performing at Tropical Nights International Incident in February 2014!) took to Facebook on Sept. 24 to answer fans’ questions.

Jason talked about touring and playing with SCI, EOTO and Prophet Massive and answered other important questions – such as the answer to the meaning of life and exactly how many margaritas he plans to drink in Riviera Maya for the International Incident. (Hint: It’s a lot!)

Read the full chat on SCI’s Facebook page or read highlights below:

Jason: Chewbacca uses a utility belt. Bail the pockets.

Jason: Question 1: I’ll take bottomless pit for $300, Alex. Question 2: It will take 6 hours of full contact drinking to reach the square root of our capacity. Divide that number 9.5 times into the number of margaritas that Billy will drink.

Jason: Painfully:) When we practice, we come up with songs that we want to play for a run. No matter how much we get a setlist together, it changes day of show. It really is one of the more difficult things to address as a band. We try to make sure everyone in the band is involved throughout the night and that styles and eras and instrumentation are represented. Some are more passionate than others on how the night should go.

Question from Ja Pa Ca: What was your first show as a spectator? Standout song from set list? And how many shows did you see before you started playing?

Jason: High Sierra tent late night 1996. I think Mauna Bona. I only saw a few shows as I was on the road so much and was playing more R & B and World Music away from the Jam scene.

Question from Lauren King: Where did you come up with the idea of EOTO? It is the most impressive electronic music out there today. Your improv is so much better than anything else.

Jason: We didn’t set out to put a project together. When I first joined the band, I stayed at Travis’ place the most. He had lots of instruments there, and we would jam, just the 2 of us, from 10pm-5am almost every night. We kept adding instruments n things and recorded ourselves just for fun. The first Sonic Bloom was the main reason for us to try and play in front of an audience.

Kevin Chunk Hughes: Who is your favorite Drummer?

Jason: Stewart Copeland and Steve Gadd have always been at the top of my list for drummers. Don Alias, Manolo Badrena, Giovanni Hidalgo, Trilok Gurtu, Zakir Hussein always top my favorite percussionist list

Question from Nick Mitchell: What’s the likely-hood of you kidnaping me and taking me to the Riviera in February?

Jason: With the likely-hood being on a scale of zero to 100…um…zero. Yes, I’m saying there’s a chance.

Question from Dylan Stolley: Hey there Jason, I am planning on having fun in Mexico, how about you?
