I also forgot about Ralph Salmin, who played on "Where Did the Ordinary People Go?" and "Spiral" - a top class session player, currently playing for The Waterboys Also - there's Colin's son Lee on "Say It".

Didn't Andy do the drum track on a Dukes song because they needed to get it done and Ian had gotten stone drunk? I forget which one (I think a Psonic Psunspot song) and where he mentions it. Song Stories? The old Idea Q&A? I think it might have been a side story when explaining how he played bass on Colin's Dukes tracks because they felt they should emulate a 60's band thing where the writer/singer plays guitar on their own tracks. [edit] Pale and Precious chalkhills.org/articles/TBAndy19980517.html TB: Are there any songs from either of the Dukes albums — the 25 O'Clock EP or the Psonic Psunspot record — that stand out for you from a drumming standpoint?
AP: No, because they were meant to be simple. In fact, that's me drumming on "Pale and Precious" — we were coming to the end of the session and we hadn't recorded that song, and Ian was nervous about it for some reason, and so he thought, "End of the session, I'm going to drink." [laughs] And he got drunk and couldn't drum, basically. I can see him now, sitting on the floor of the studio with his back against the wall going [in drunken voice], "Oh, I hope I haven't let you down, I'm so drunk." And I went and did it.
TB: You did your best Dennis Wilson imitation.
AP: Yeah, I thought, "Well, Dennis Wilson can't really drum and neither can I, so it should sound just like him."

I hit my computer table and keyboard in time with the music, so I would like to nominate myself as the best XTC drummer.
