Here's a link to it FYI: .  You can hear 30 second clips from every track on iTunes.

I'm really impressed with the sounds Erskine gets out of the Club Jordan, but I'm wondering if some of the stuff was overdubbed.  There are some tunes with open and closed HH parts with ride and bass. Again, the drums sound great, but some tunes feel too full to be one take.  How else would he get so many concurrent different sounds with a cocktail outfit (or is he just the man?)

I've got that record - it's nice. I don't think he overdubbed the drums - he IS a baaaaad boy, plus, his "cocktail" kit offers as many sounds as a conventional kit. He plays sitting down (on a tall stool), uses a hihat pedal, and has several cymbals, a separate snare, and maybe even an extra tom.

It's great stuff, but not nearly as constraining as playing a standup kit with no hihat pedal and not much in the way of toms and cymbals.
