The drums 4:11 for the Aja session were a Ludwig Red Sparkle set with a 12, 13 and 16" set of toms and a 22" Bass drum. Steve used his new Zildjian 21" Rock Ride cymbal and two 17 and 18 inch cracked crash cymbals . The snare was his Ludwig chrome 14" x 5 1/2 " Super Sensitive. I delivered the drum set . It was a rental from SIR where I worked as the head of the Drum Department in 1976 and 1977. The studio was the Producer's Workshop in Hollywood.

Major icon here! Not "Mr. Flash" like many other drummers with 32nd not double bass stuff, twirling sticks, etc. but rather, so humble, so solid and so creative like it just comes out of him naturally! Everything he plays for whatever music it happens to be is always so appropriate and perfect for that song! I've played a lot of complicated, odd meter music in my life but for whatever reason, those riff's in Aja near the end are to this day almost impossible for me to replicate!

Rhythmic displacement does have brain-based mechanisms for the difference in perception that the listener experiences, as Rick alludes to here. One of these mechanisms relates to how the left and right cerebral hemispheres manage auditory temporal dynamics. I've always loved good examples of rhythmic displacement.

I was listening to this the other day. Somehow I knew it was Steve on the drums. Such a great part. And then, he gets to the best part: letting the music dictate what to play. Not your EGO, not you wanting to show the world what a badass you are. No. THE MUSIC. If you let the music speak to you, it will tell you what to do. Sometimes you will think you've made a mistake, until you play it back a dozen times, and think about what you didn't think of consciously. What the music spoke. And sometimes, it will tell you things that you didn't know, or didn't see, until you made that MISTAKE...LOL
