Believe me, I know exactly what you're talking about. I blame drumming for 85% of my dance skillz (which are admittedly lacking, but, y'know, good enough).

I've been kinda into Ratatat for a while (ever since I heard Lex in this Watsky poetry video), but I never thought to drum along to it. Thanks for the rec! Nostrand seems like it'll be really fun to play.

Yeah, as far as I know, Ratatat just uses drum samples, nobody sits at a drumset (acoustic or electronic) and bangs out the beats. They're too busy with their guitar slide rings and stuff.

Oh, and thanks for the favorite on Soundcloud. Someday, if you're interested, I'll attempt re-mastering a loop or two of your drumming.
