AJA by Steely Dan | Drum Cover By Pascal Thielen

The song Aja by Steely Dan is one of Steve Gadd's most famous performances. Besides his very tasteful playing throughout the song, especially the drum solo's stand out and make the song super recognizable. While filming our Recreating Iconic Drum Sounds episode about Gadd's sound we recorded this full drum cover. If you want to know how we achieved the sound, check out the full episode here: https://youtu.be/3R21a0Pvd1Q
