if Carlsberg made drummers

They would probably produce Bryan Devendorf of The National.

• Plays the drums barefooted.
• Takes the demo tapes and composes the drum sections.
• Writes intelligently.
• Drums immaculately.
• Performs his own, separate soundhcheck.

All things considered, I'm very glad I'll be witnessing The National live again at the Brixton Academy on Wednesday 1 December.
