Pino’s playing on Barely Breathing

I will freely confess that I was today years old when I first knowingly heard anything by Duncan Sheik.

I'm a little indifferent to this "Barely Breathing" tune itself; it doesn't suck, and I wouldn't even call it "dull" but it's definitely a bit unremarkable in any sense of that word

...except for the bass and drums, because HO. LEE. CHIT. is that a tight, slamming sound! Not surprised it's a session whiz like Pino. Any idea who played drums?

It kinda reminds me a tiny bit of Rhett Miller's stuff, in that the production is so killer that you don't even listen to the song after a while, you just dig the sound of the product. Not that that's a bad thing necessarily...
