When I sat down with Dido last month to talk about her new album, "Safe Trip Home," I found myself surprised more than once. I wrote about some of those surprises in this feature, but a couple didn't make it in, and they're too delicious to not share.

They have to do with Dido's newfound love of drumming.

Turns out the artist's favorite thing to do these days is to play along with her iPod. And in so doing, she's found a favorite drummer. It's not, as one may guess, Questlove, or Jim Keltner, or Mick Fleetwood, or Matt Chamberlain, though she was was happy to have all of them play on "Safe Trip Home."
