Quoting K.B. Rau's discography of Fletcher Henderson's pre-Armstrong era sides: The only instance of drums playing can be heard as a single cymbal crash at the very end of ‘Steppin´ Out’ [matrix 42525-2 from the same date issued on Emerson 10714]. The sound of the cymbal is not what we are accustomed from [Kaiser] Marshall earlier or later. I therefore doubt Marshall´s presence at all. The cymbal might have been hit by anybody else in the studio, and the pay for the drummer might have been saved up.
