Aja (Steely Dan) • Drum Cover

Подробнее о видео

One of the absolute milestones of drumming history: Steely Dan's Aja. Allegedly, this was Steve Gadd's very first go at this song, sight reading and coming up with the drum part and all the solos while playing through this song for the very first time.

I usually don't go that deep into an original drum track but for this song I did a full transcription of Steve Gadd's drum part. You can find it on my Patreon page :)

Due to copyright regulations, I do not earn any money from drum covers. If you want to help me to keep my channel going, you can support me on Patreon:

"Everyone can play covers, how about you start doing some music on your own?" This is what I read quite a lot in my comments. Unfortunately, my original music never gets as many views as my covers (because no-one looks for it because not a lot of people know that it exists...) but I brought out three original albums over the last few years. All the music is available for free on YouTube and also streamable on all bigger streaming platforms. Look out for "Sina Chi Might" to have a listen or click the link below to find a YouTube playlist with all songs made for the Chi Might Project:
