I absolutely love Peter’s feathery approach. He’s a master of restraint when in fact, he could go all out whenever he wants.

So great and experienced drummer and still trying to improve himself. A lesson of modesty for us all... Thanks Mister Erskine !

[@nathanaeldavenport2251]

His stick technique is mesmerizing. Like nobody else’s. He makes it look like septuplet fills are the easiest thing in the world.

I could listen to Peter's drum wisdom all day!

This dude is the Mr. Miyagi of drums. A lifetime of karate but somehow humble.

Metronome is (was) recommended by Paco de Lucia in flamenco. Thing is, playing solo, you can get away with timing for some things, but not when you have a dancer or other musicians. Love this reminder. Great teacher (& survivor of Weather Report).

Peter you groove my world with your passion. You always make me smile. Groove on. I've never thought about what my favorite tempo is, that's genius! Ok so now I'm wondering what my favorite tempo is 😲👍🥁👍DC

[@geraldmellon740]

I've said it elsewhere but Peter Erskine always makes me think of a brain surgeon having a change of career... 😉 No one else quite like him I think it's the accuracy and clarity of thought he has.
