Baker is one of those drummers you can immediately recognize. This song has a strange feel, driving forward almost militaristically, though Ginger seems to be playing somewhat back on the beat.
I always enjoy the way he uses his toms, both in beats (think of Cream songs like N.S.U.) and in his (big) fills. His comping vocabulary is very interesting as well. Watch what he does during Charlie Haden's bass solo - very cool.
