That drummer is Michael Shrieve, he was about 20 years old at the time and played on the first 8 Santana albums. That was their best lineup, the vocalist was keyboardist Greg Rolie who along with guitarist Neil Schon left Santana about the same time and formed Journey in the mid 70's. Greg Rolie was the original vocalist on the first three Journey albums, but eventually he was replaced by Steve Perry when the record label wanted a more radio friendly sound. In the 1980's you might remember the super group album HSAS, that featured vocalist Sammy Hagar, guitarist Neil Schon, bassist Kenny Aaronson & drummer Michael Shrieve).
