"There's more room on the bass for interesting parts than most people think," says Ozma's Daniel Brummel, whose tight creative lines help drive the Pasadena quintet's pop-punk mini-masterpieces. "My lines start simple, but over time I come up with fills or little parts that make things more complex and interesting. I listen to everything that's going on--the guitars and the vocals--and try to come up with more of a counterpoint rather than just supporting the guitar chord." | "There's more room on the bass for interesting parts than most people think," says Ozma's Daniel Brummel, whose tight creative lines help drive the Pasadena quintet's pop-punk mini-masterpieces.

"I don't think bass gets enough respect," adds Daniel, who cites low-end influences as diverse as Stanley Clarke, Graham Maby, and Green Day's Mike Dirnt. "It's got rhythmic and melodic aspects, but unfortunately the melodic aspects get ignored sometimes. I'm not afraid to go up high on the neck for melodic ideas, but that can get a little distracting; you do have to remember to hold down the fort but still be creative with it. I'm never afraid to back off and play a groove either. It doesn't matter so much what kind of licks you play, but how you play them. If you've got good rhythm and feel, you're ideas will come across better." | "I don't think bass gets enough respect," adds Daniel, who cites low-end influences as diverse as Stanley Clarke, Graham Maby, and Green Day's Mike Dirnt.
