Why was the song four sticks called Four Sticks?

Patti from Michigan I have always loved this track, and am glad to find out that it’s called Four Sticks because it was played with four drum sticks. That’s been a guess on my part for years. It’s got that driving beat and melody that draw me in like a magnet. Love the synthesizer. JPJ did a fantastic job. Mad props.
