In all seriousness, I've worked with Joey before and he's the softest-hitting drummer of all time. The sound on "Paper Tiger" is a perfect example of how drums sound totally different when you're barely hitting them.

If you did "Paper Tiger," check out Serge Gainsbourg's "Melodie Nelson" album. "Paper Tiger" is a direct bite from "Melodie Nelson" right down to the production aesthetic.
except that James Gadson played drums on all but two songs on sea change. guess which two tracks are joey and which are james.
