From Tommy Montana (Montalbano), the drummer on this single:

Looking back, these were fun times. Brett and I were both in high school and looking forward to musical careers. Though I was into more sophisticated music at the time, Justin re-introduced me to the head-on rock and roll I loved as a kid. Eventually, I went on to play with many of my 50's and 60's rock idols, using the straight ahead "Ringo" beats I had taken out of the closet to play on this and other Justin Trouble recordings. A bit of trivia: This was recorded at Michael Bona Studios - essentially a kick-ass living room studio - in Garden City, Long Island, with the late Johnny Thunders present (and high on H) the whole time. Michael only owned one good drum mic at the time, so we recorded the kick and snare drums in separate takes, explaining why the drum track sounds so "fake!"
