Rob is tackling the Rick Marotta groove masterpiece, "Peg" by Steely Dan. In reality, the drum track for EVERY tune is about the feel, but this tune especially makes that point magnified and Rob does a tremendous job here. He did much work on ghost strokes, spacing, relaxation, etc.,  to get to a level of playing to pull this tune off. For those of you who are wondering how or why this drum track would be considered demanding, PLAY IT. But don't stop there....RECORD yourself when you play it and try to capture the feel that makes the tune glide. You will get the point pretty quick!

Nice work Rob! Your dedication paid big dividends here! 

Rob is using his Dunnett stainless steel snare for this tune. 

Size 8 x 14" (814SS-8)
Finish: #8 Polished

This 8 x 14 Stainless is essentially a refined version of the first drum Dunnett ever made. Affectionately known in several Vancouver studios as Numero Uno or Number One, it appeared on many recordings made at The Factory, Little Mountain and Greenhouse Studios. Fitted with die cast hoop to dial in the wieght, this model is extremely microphone friendly.
