Steely Dan - Aja - Drum Cover - Steve Gadd

Here's another version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3QTjc_pU4I - Great drumming by Steve Gadd. I remember when I heard this for the first time. I was just in shock over those drum fills near the end. I had never heard anything like this before and had to learn what Steve Gadd was doing. It seems many drummers play this song and just gloss over all the stuff Steve is doing here. For instance, the hi-hat is played off the beat throughout the song. I wanted to respect the song and the drumming. I tried to play it as accurately as possible instead of doing "my own interpretation". I was hoping to show what Steve did on the recording. Hope my fellow drummers/musicians get something out of this.
