El Magnifico drummer [[Jon Pikus]] was chosen to engineer [[Weezer's third demo]], an independently produced, five-song cassette tape that proved essential in their eventual signing to Geffen. As Koch described, Pinkus was "a capable but still learning engineer, and the tape, while being the best-yet representation of the band, was still flawed by some sonic strangeness, such as a snare drum that sounded kinda like a tennis ball hitting a racket."
