Here Comes the Drums
I write this after a long day in the studio with Ben Wittman, drummer extraordinaire. The list of people he has toured with and recorded with is quite long and impressive: Paul Simon, Laurie Anderson, Jonatha Brooke, Paula Cole, Erasure and others.
Most of our time was spent finding the non-predictable percussion and drum parts for the songs while leaving enough space so that the song didn’t get lost. (He loves the drum loops on these songs, by the way! 
)
Here’s a brief Christine-stalks-the-studio-with-her-crappy-camera video just to show you a brief moment of Ben Wisch at the computer recording onto ProTools — and Ben Wittman doing his first pass at “Wide Awake.”

Looks like ‘the Bens’ were having lots of fun. I love to see people working away at what they love doing and what they do best. Drummer Ben looks so much in his element - you know when the head starts wobbling and they don’t notice anything else around. That’s a real artist for you.
I was just painting and I’m sure my had was wobbling in a way
