      I miss the times with my buddy playing drums, he always listened wtf I were goofing with the guitar. I could half the beat or change the groove and he picked it up immediately when jamming.

    • @gravitydrums1391
      @gravitydrums1391  5 месяцев назад +1

      Sometimes its a matter of preference but sometimes its a matter of the track I am cutting however for practice I like using the double head because I dimple and go through the more resonant single heard much quicker and being that I dont endorse remo anymore I try to play budget oriented for now.

    I remember first hearing Gadd on Chick Corea's My Spanish Heart his solos on Spanish Fantasy, Part 2 were game changing, then Steely Dan's Aja which nobody had done till then and he read the drum part off charts, there will never be another such as Gadd. And we should not forget Paul Simon's 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.

    Hello Gravity. This is the vid that I subbed 2U. I've worked on Gadd's ratamacue for years. When I looked at this pattern , I pulled out what I thought was juicy part & oddly enough (ha-silly pun) I got group of 7- RRLRKLL. I've always played this lick as groups of 6. Your rendition (sticking) for this is amazing and now I'm using it. Thankyou for the great idea.

    Relaxing and sitting back when your time to flourish comes is so important in laying down and keeping in that groove. Gadd was a master at it. Think of your wrists hands and forearms as hummingbird wings in suspended flight as opposed to its almost still centered body. Its like a dance when you add your feet.

    I grew up with Gadd, so I’m probably biased, but he was my guru. Everybody has different influences, but I can’t help thinking Gadd influenced more than most. Apart from his drumming skills, let’s not forget the work he done with Yamaha to develop the Recording Custom drums. They were the go to drums for decades among working drummers. Again, everyone will have their favourite drum company, but it cannot be denied the Recording Customs were special, pro, working drums that were around for years.

    Breaking up rudiments around the skins n tins had been done for years. Gadd was an unbelievable musician with incredible ears and a great imagination so took it up because of it. I look at Copeland and Willams as real game changers as far as the drums interacting with music during that time. But Gadds my favorite of all time so i ain't hating trust me.

    Nice break down of an advanced level fill. I would not have imagined I would be able to even try on a Steve Gadd fill. Are we doing 64ths here? So when you do note rates do you "think" the count, or the sticking? Do you think in terms of the 1/4 note while playing the 64ths? Curious, because I cannot count out lout 32ds at 110bpm let alone play and count 64ths. So i kind of try to stay on the 1/4 note count or 8th, and make 5's and 7's just fit it.

    Hey man, sincerely, you should start using a spectrum analyzer on your master when you do your videos. The treble on your mix is INSANE, I worry your ears might not hear it but it's pretty hot. I think if you see it in a spectrum analyzer you'll see what your ears/speaker aren't telling you.

      Been guitaring for 40 years or more now, but I am still baffled by how drummers count and keep track of where they are. I guess it’s the same as how we (guitarists) know where we are, but drummers deserve a lot more credit from other musicians.

      Hi. That test was to see if RUclips gave me an error.
      I tried to send you a long reply but it failed. Now I can’t remember what I said.
      Have you seen Steve Gad play in the Marine’s band? Yes, he was a Marine.
      I love the way he sits low and throws his whole body into each stroke. I could watch him for hours.
      I started playing at age 9, just before the Beatles hit the US. I was never able to master the matched grip though.
      My teacher taught me a good one that I’ll pass along to you.
      You have 4/4 beat, and rotate between snare, tom and kick with the accent on one.
      So hit hard on snare, followed by light tom, kick and snare. Then hard on tom, followed by light kick, snare and tom. Then hard kick, followed by light snare, tom and kick. The accent rotates around from one to the next but since it’s 4/4 time and only three drums, it sounds cool. I’m sure you can master it. Might make a good video.
      Thanks,
      Paul

    Nice playing, great lick.....but surely the starting point of the lesson should be to state which note value the lick is played in? It feels like 16th note triplets, but there arent enough notes for it to cycle evenly in either 16th note trips or 32nd notes.
    Would you be able to say if its to be played in 16th note triplnd ets or in 32nd notes please?

      There are seven notes in each of the two patterns: RLLRRLR and KLLRRLR, so it has to be septuplets. When they are played fast, it's impossible to tell that there is an extra stroke compared to 16th-note triplets aka sextuplets. Fast 7s explain why this is so hard to figure out and recreate, haha.

    Thanks so much for sharing this classic/awesome Gadd lick and two variations! I must ask, are these licks interpreted as 16th triplets or a mixture of rhythms?
    If grouped as 16th triplets, it would be written: RLLRRL RKLLRR LRKLLR RLRK which leaves two 16th triplets unaccounted for.
    Should it be interpreted as: RLLRRLR KLLRRLR KLLRRLR etc. where the last two single strokes (sometimes orchestrated on the rack and floor tom respectively) should be played as 32nd note triplets? That would make the K the new beginning of the phrase after starting with the paradiddle-diddle.
    Thanks again so much for this great content! You've earned my sub!

    • @gravitydrums1391

  • @agusdrummer
    @agusdrummer 6 месяцев назад +1

    Great excerpt. Thank you Sir. I do find the breakdown extremely confusing. In my opinion gadd just plays a paradiddlediddle with the addition of a kick and to make it a bit more of his own (been played alot by then) he displaces everything by one note. R + left dominant paradiddlediddle + kick et voila.
    Anytime we can se rudiments in action in a misical since is when we get motivated to get to know them.

      I am about to do a follow up of this video but for now... I usually begin on the right hand as a six stroke roll and resolving on the kick which ends up being the downbeat from that point.. Then it changes up playing the kick on the down beat of the quarter notes and then change it up starting the lick on quarter note triplets and so on..

      The most common way Steve Gadd played it was accenting on the downbeat which is the best place to start... However I find myself changing it up quite a bit and accenting on the quarter note triplet.

    I can’t work this out

    So it’s not sextuplets
    I think it’s sextuplets until the very last right single which is a 32nd note triplet

    Hmm, well, you have made it way more complex than it needs to be. FIRST!! That lick starts with the bass drum on the down beat. The only flam is the first down beat on the snare, then 2 TRIPLET ghost notes, and then the the John Bonham lick of snare, rack, floor, (as the next triplet) bass, landing on the downbeat again, fill in the extra 2 triplets with ghost notes, etc....when you demonstrate, your bass doesn't always land separately, because it can't, if you are doing an eight stroke combo, as you suggest. FLLRLR is the combo. ruclips.net/video/HTn3M0vPd-Q/видео.html @5:20 @7:25
