I thought they were most similar to a jazz band, but they did things that a lot of different styles don’t do in America. For instance, they had a Steel drum song, a tabla, and the Tuvan throat singer. The most peculiar instrument, I thought, was the drumitar made by future man.

Devin Davis Music 54—Rock History Writing Assignment #1 Ronald Dotson West Valley College “Born to Run” "Born to Run" leads in with an epic and iconic drum roll into blending of a saxophone run and keyboards. The band wastes no time getting to the lyrics brought to life by Springsteen’s husky voice, drawing you into the story he has planned for you within the next four and half minutes. The song has a strong four-four beat, two alternation verses—with different lyrics—and one legendary instrumental verse.
