By most accounts, Hashain is the full-time drummer on those early albums, except for Jim Masdea on "Rock And Roll Band". However, only one song on the debut features the whole band (Let Me Take You Home Tonight), and I believe Barry might play a solo on "Long Time"...other than that, Tom pretty much handles the bulk.

For all I know, Jim recorded all the drum parts for the demos - but Sib re-recorded the bulk of them and did the drums for Don't Look Back.

But I just don't believe Scholz ever recorded the acoustic drums for any release. I've been wrong before.


As far as a "vision" - Boston was mostly the vision of Tom Scholz. No one denies that. He's also one of the most influential guitarists of the late 70s - probably would be the most if it wasn't for a kid named Eddie Van Halen.

He also had some excellent help on those first 2 Boston albums which were amazing (the first album particularly).
