[@josteinv.jordet257]

So are you!

[@richardpine8011]

Managed to buy this album and meet Peter tonight courtesy of Graham Russell Drums. He's fantastic, such a great vibe from him and some fantastic stories.

[@RandyHanley]

Peter Erskine is a real-world bad ass!...so cool and such a genuinely nice person.

[@dannydescalzo]

A true master..thank you Mr. Peter Erskine.

[@jcsk8]

Many words he said are exactly waht I feel about music and instruments. Peter is such a talented musician and an inteligent person. Also his wife´s quote is superb: "I really like the way this drums are making you play. 08:53". Pure truth! Every instrument inspires you a diferent way. Thanks for the video.

[@Ravivharshanee]

Erskine is exceptionally cool. He brought such excitement to big band and everything he went on to play. A bad, all time, top cat!

[@markyates8399]

Great players making beautiful music. Peter is possibly my all time favourite. His taste and touch is exquisite. On a personal note I am lucky enough to have a Star Walnut kit. I can't even begin to describe how good these drums are. Incredible.

[@BenjaminGib]

This is so well done. What a joy to watch.

[@MrSteveC]

That splash is just so damn ,,,,,,,,,,, Dangerous !!! Lol , love that . Peter is the man .

[@mpcvore]

Grand Master among masters ...!

[@opensong1817]

Thanks to everyone for sharing all the aspects that go into recording an album. Joy to hear Peter playing so relaxed in an effortless groove.

[@lilpbass]

What fantastic music! Peter always makes it seem so effortless. He proves that less IS more.

[@stroll8522]

I don't play jazz but this inspires me so much. I learned the basic Jazz pattern on the drums, and when you play that in a rock band rehearsal, people respect you more (:

[@TheNc333]

Jazz school is the best school for every style of music, especially on drum :)

[@drumfanatik316]

Peter Erskine.There is no player playing a gentle sound like him.

[@nemesisinvidia5792]

Thank you Mr. ERSKINE !

[@stretch54]

Great group of players! Love John Beasley. I always dug his approach.

[@drewper73]

My goodness. I think I might just have to buy that album. He has a great way of talking about his drums and drumming. Inspiring to say the least. And, we use the same hi-hats! lol...

[@pshe1200]

Mark - Thanks for posting the other side to greatness. We often just hear CD's and respond with a wow, or that's nice. Never getting the chance to see how it all came together. Your mic explanation was really interesting too! Great job!! - Paul

[@daviddebuhr8995]

Inspirational for this novice jazz drummer!

[@neilbarbu]

Fantabulous that's all I can say about Sweetwater sound studio. I hope to take a tour one day, and maybe play the Wurlitzer 200 that used to be mine. Carefully restored by yours truly!

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Beautiful music, and also nice to hear some of the technical details. The samples here are wonderful snapshots of "no secrets"... Every note is intentional, has a great tone, and is played by a world-class musician. Such a pleasure to hear. :)

[@Kujalamuse]

The Catz!! Legends, all. Beautiful playing and recording.

[@jazztoad54]
