With the basic chordal backing complete, Steve brought in his regular drummer and percussionist, Terl Bryant, to add rhythm parts. Terl played in a MIDI drum part from a drumKAT percussion controller, and Steve used this to trigger drum samples Terl had made on a previous visit. "The hi‑hats and ride cymbal were recorded here, while the snare was a combination of one Terl recorded here and a few other samples from my CD‑ROM [the East West's CD‑ROM of Steve's personally collected samples] which I had manipulated in the EIV. There's also a Novation Drumstation with an internally distorted snare and a bongo. But the essence of the groove came from Terl's drumKAT performance. On top, Terl then layered real percussion — congas — which I chopped up and made into loops in my EIV. Finally, there are some real fingersnaps going through the distortion algorithm on a Zoom 1204, which I really like.
