My brother and I started listening to John Christensen back in the 70s! He was and is a huge influence on our drumming! I am a huge ECM follower!! Rob Tullius....................
The clicky stick sound can be the result of mic'ing and playing style(grip/angle). Sticks might matter as well - according to a MD article from the 90s, he uses 5Bs of some kind.
The ride cymbal in this clip seems to be a riveted Avedis on the light side, although JC is known for using a heavy old K.
Jon Christensen...it´s an amazing player......Fantastic touch!
