    This is what masterful drumming is. Incredible groove, control, and feel. Steve Gadd has it all.

  • @747jpdrummer

    He is one of the few drummers that his drums sound like a melody and does not need music to accompany it. True genious on the throne.

    Incredible that Gadd is still learning after all these years.
    If you notice the beginning of this solo, he is practicing displacement ideas. He spoke about this in a recent interview he did with Rick Beato. He spoke about how during the pandemic, the 15 minute warmups he used to do prior to gigs ended up turning into hours and hours.
    This is how he came up with Messing around with displacement and a newfound way of playing the drums.
    He seemed super enthused about learning more. Just unreal!

      I would go as far to say that if your mindset is that you dont have anything to learn, then you will never be truly good at something. The process of learning/reading never ends. Never.

    Immaculate, Steve Gadd is one of the greatest to ever combat the artform.
    Master of dynamics and applying rudiments.
    What an inspiration of a man.

    My favourite drummer ever! All of his music is a part of music other musicians are playing together with him. His music is a good groove, special feeling in the song and liquid complexity. Great!

  • @henryzamora9756
    @henryzamora9756 Рік тому +12

    Sir Gadd could be playing gold rims, black rims, or trash cans & he would still make them sing. Like everyone has commented, he had it all creativity, musicaility, timing, etc. He's got "Gaddola"! A lesson & a joy to listen to every time.

  • @DennisJohnsonDrummer
    @DennisJohnsonDrummer Рік тому +10

    The greats always amaze me with the attention to the space between the notes as well. It's not just the pure chops and notes around
    the drums with the feel and the beats-it's all about when NOT to play that creates the difference between the real musicians and the
    guys who fill up the bars with notes. Thanks for sharing this.

  • @dugjay
    @dugjay Рік тому +3

    Take note if you're one of those that can only play fast as lightning trying to impress someone. Here's the real deal. Smooth tempo, solid fundamentals and plays with a musicality that speed demons can't produce. This is why Dr. Steve Gadd is the best.

  • @U2WB
    @U2WB Рік тому +9

    Incredible. I love Steve's rudimental style, and he's so fluid and rhythmic. This is what a Master delivers as a drum solo - something you can groove to.

    He was among the first to buy or begin to play the great YAMAHA 9000 series wayback in the late 70's in the States (USA) But I was among the very first to buy me that same drum kit. And now some 40 years later I've bought me a brand new Yamaha Stage Custom and I'm in love! It feels like finding a lost brother to have them back in my BedRoom Studio

  • @brianpersons6301
    @brianpersons6301 Рік тому +6

    If we truly listen to the music he makes, it doesn’t take long to realize that he is one with his instrument. Whether he is playing quickly and loud or slow and soft it doesn’t matter because his thoughts and feelings that are inside are constantly being expressed to the listener. Thank you for sharing your talent for so many years.
    Best,
    Brian

  • @thomascerulli8013

    I’m from Western NY and my teacher had a good relation with John Beck from Eastman. Bottom line, whatever Steve learned, he built on that and taught ALL of us how to play, whether we realized it or not. He make it look so easy, but….it’s not! Waiting for Gaddiments 2 Steve.
