The wikipedia list of instruments he's played on his albums: guitars, bass guitar, sitar, cello, double bass, saxophones, clarinet, trombone, tuba, recorders, oboe, French horn, banjo, mandolin, bassoon, drums, percussion, vibraphone, bagpipes and keyboards.

My dad heard Wood's banjo picking on "When Grandma Played the Banjo" and proclaimed him "as good as Roy Clark," which was high praise indeed.]]> breno Trouser Press Sun, 09 Nov 2008 11:41:02 -0600 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,16905,17047#msg-17047 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,16905,17047#msg-17047 Adam Schmitt

One person in particular though, who does it continually at an amazingly high level across a lot of aliases, is Scott Herren.

Obviously the drumming didn't suffer much on that last. Same goes for the first Foo Fighters album, where Grohl played all of the instruments except on one or two songs.

And Mitch Easter did much of Big Plans for Everybody by himself and acquitted himself quite well on the drums (though he's no Rob Ladd or Eric Marshall).

Also, wasn't Green Mind mostly a Mascis solo album, for all intents and purposes? Again, pretty good drumming.]]> rhettlawrence Trouser Press Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:54:16 -0600 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,16905,16912#msg-16912 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,16905,16912#msg-16912 Money (the version on A Collection of Great Dance Songs) due to label rights infighting.

Not exactly the most difficult drumming, but more than competent and not very distinguishable from the LP version, which says a lot I think.
