Steve saying he's going back to practicing is a terrifying thought to every other drummer out there. The fact that he loves dogs and still is as humble as ever speaks volumes about him.
Isn‘t terrifying, musicians do that all the time.
No matter Pandemic or not.
Yeah he’s practicing again because he loves it, as well as he’s not gigging in the pandemic 😷
Terrifying?? You kidding me!! He
hasn’t played anything new since
1970!!! Gimme a break!!!
I get how drummers would dig a book on technique by Gadd. However, as a non-musician, I'd love for him to write a memoir.
I concur
Agreed
Great idea
Won’t happen. Not enough ego in this dude. Plus, why would he waste his time typing a memoir when he could be playing drums?
@@johnnatelli3841 You might be right about his lack of ego. However, he did choose to stop playing the drums long enough to "waste" time writing a book about drumming technique. So, he clearly can both play and write.
This is great to hear. Fellow Rochesterian and fellow ESM grad but it was 20 years after I got out of college before I got a chance to meet him and play with him on 2 gigs. It was an honor and a great memory. Thought it would be tough for me to hang with but he made it easy. That flow! He was so humble and personable and grooved like nothing else.
i'll be buying his book for sure.
In 2005 just 2 days before I was on the road to move to my new home ... I met Steve at a drum Clinic just 15 minutes from my home. To say at the least it was a joy...a very special night for me.
There’s something godfather feeling about this video, the hue lighting, Steve older but cooler like Marlon Brando cooler... pictures of the dog,,.
Steve’s the ultimate godfather of drumming. That’s why.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can’t wait for the book. I love the displacement of accents like Steve does with the paradiddle. That’s high level fitness for the brains and little muscles. Thanks Steve!
Sure as rain ; Gadd will be remembered in 200 years, just like a Classical Composer .Good old Gadd .How cool is he .
Hearing him live is a magic experience! ❤
Thanx for every beat Steve ❤️
I had a great drum teacher - Trevor Tomkins - who taught me this concept to start and finish phrases in different places. For example if there are eight quavers in a bar of 4/4 try starting your phrase on each quaver and it will also end on a different quaver right? Also try doing this whilst playing different types of rock, jazz, funk grooves etc. And then you put them in a musical context you’re brain will recognise and then they will actually become part of your performance.
Steve’s right! Do it slow and over and over again and you’ll get it no matter how complex the pattern or patterns this works every time! Believe me I know!
Is that why he still plays the same shit since 1970???
I’ve had the book for about a week now. It is brilliant in concept and in just challenging yourself to learn these (Gaddiments) rudiments in another part of the bar is a lot of fun.. I’m enjoying this book so much. You sorta get a glimpse of SG’s inner groove as he permutates various stickings in his playing.. I have a Chick Corea album and in one of the tunes, when the song builds and starts to reach its peak, he’s stretching this thing and taking waaayy further than most guys would ever dare to.. the first time I listened I was like “ oh holy shit, what did he just do “.. as far as I see SG, he’s immortal in the world of drumming..
Really looking forward to Steve’s book! Legend!🥁😎👍🏻
Can’t wait for this book!!!! Thank you Steve! ❤️
A man who never stops evolving . Back in the day he blew everyone’s head off he was that “WOW “. Today a great teacher of life and yes drums!!
@caves 1-2-3 How right you are. I remember in the early 70's when Steve first hit the scene his playing was so different and individual it just took everyone by surprise. When Aja came out he was in full force. Everyone was trying to sound and play like him.
God bless you brother Gadd you have always been an inspiration to me’ can’t wait for this inspirational book to be published
Looking forward to getting steve’s new book and working out of it!
Cool interview. Thanks for posting this. Kenn
Steve Gadd is such a huge inspiration.
I never learned to read music for the kit. It still frightens me. I have to listen and then learn. I love grooving and don’t like to solo.
Great channel. Im now a subscriber. Thanks
I’m happy you liked the video. Thanks for subscribing!
Reading drum notation is extremely easy.
I can’t wait! In Gadd, I Trust 🤓🥁👍🏼
Fabulous Interview here Bro👍
Steve Absolutely Legendary-🥁
Always Humble And Ready to Share!!!🙏❤️
Thanks!
love everything about this vid--the insight into Gadd's thought process, the existence of the book, the Rochester accent, the dog pic--but I found myself hoping the dogs would come running in and say hello! That's the only way this could have been better...
Not being a drummer but being a huge Steve Gadd fan ....gotta say I was a little disappointed his new book wasn't a memoir or an autobiography. But hey, I get it. Of course a drummer as great as Steve Gadd is gonna publish a book on drum rudiments. Makes perfect sense.
I hope he has a video with the book of him playing each one at different tempo's and maybe even styles on the set.
Great interview.
Just before the lockdown , I started doing exactly the same thing. When the pandemic happened, I continued to write all of my creative rhythmic concepts down in one, two or four bars each....all great feeling and great sounding advanced stickings & rudimental combinations that I had never played before but all of which felt wonderful within the hands and upon both the drum set and the drum pad as a brand new "phrasing" concept. Initially, I started with just a few rhythmic stickings and built up the content until it started to accumulate. I organized them by numbering each one of them and, over time, the content grew to 50 pages.....then to 100 pages with about 6 to 9 different exercises and patterns on each page. Now, after nearly a year having gone by, I have over 300 pages & over 2500 completely different exercises all of them featuring the same displacement concepts that you discussed. Now I have all of these enormously hip and usefully applicable rhythms along with all of the materials I have compiled over 45 years of teaching. It, too will be my contribution to the world of drumming to help others see what many of the possibilities are & to perceive how they can be played.Who knew?
That sounds awesome. Have you considered publishing your collection of phrases?
@@TheVibeChamber Certainly. I am transcribing the entire works on Finale to place it all into acceptable top quality book form and I am going to record my entire percussive compilation of over 45 years in the studio with a 4 camera set-up and incredible recorded sounds all to edited professionally and made to be purchased as a complete "work." I have direct contact with several top publishers including the one Steve mentioned. So, in addition to the recent 300+ pages of material I've created during the lockdown....there are 45 years of additional concepts that I am organizing in the same way as well. I will be seeking a distribution deal with one of the major publishers and will have an online presence.
I look forward to getting a copy of this. Any information that Steve Gadd has to impart to other drummers is important and welcomed.
Never lost that Rochester accent 😁
Love this man!
Happy you liked it!
"What you have to do is learn how to play that thing technically in a different part of the bar. And it's a whole other kind of independence." Steve Gadd breaks it down. He nails it does he not?
So, he went back to practicing...now THAT is scary...
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
....I thought that I felt a disturbance in the force..... 👾
I watched Steve during a 70’s Gadd band tour concert. Before every song he checked the bpm’s on his Tama Rhythm Watch (yep, no Yamaha clickstation). His timing was scary in the pocket. He’s known for his “from another planet “ skills but for a moment I really thought he’s from another planet. Totally locking the time 😳👌🏼
He always did
Isn‘t scary, musicians do that all the time.
No matter Pandemic or not.
Thanks!
love him even more knowing he's a dog guy!
Sounds like Steve has written his own version of Stick Control.
Combined with Wilcoxon's, Rudimental Swing.
Looking forward to Getting steve’s new book and working out of it!
Me too!
Steve, please give us a brush book & video.
Your brush playing is so sweet!!!!
A good brush book: Philly Joe Jones. I think it's available as a free pdf download.
Yeh when he play brushes on shoebox singing bye bye blackbird. Beautiful.
The amount of music and groove in this man... Borderline Messiah to our craft.
Good information, just wish the interviewer had followed up on Steve’s several comments about the book/ displacement/rudiments and asked him to demonstrate examples-that would have deepened the discussion.
aw man anxiously awaiting his book woohoo, yahoo, whooppee, hee haw
The legendary Steve Gadd
I’m buying this. Gadd = GOAT
When I first saw the title of this video, I thought he wrote a novel ! I’m looking forward to get a copy and hope Hudson would make a video of Steve’s demonstration.
Steve cognizes new rudiments!
It’s great watching young people respecting Steve’s Legacy! 👉🏼I once got his black drum sticks from a friend working for Yamaha frums. I even could smell Steve’s after shave...grts from Belgium
Frums ? 🤣🤣🤣
I have to say the displacement topic sounds very similar to Garibaldi's Future Sounds which I bought back in 1990.
Steve Gadd and Harvey Mason does it for me...
Yeah man, love Harvey Mason too.. both are incredible Groovesmiths and amazing musicians
One of my dads hero’s!
How cool would that be - have to practice my ‘Gaddiments’ 👍
8:06 is called Metric Modulation. Can be rather academic but is fun and does get you thinking. Gadd is indeed the man. I have studied his playing for many years and I still think his sound is one of the best.
I want to buy that handwritten copy
I've been shedding Wilcoxin all COVID after not touching it for 30 years. I'll switch to the Gaddiments!
The Wilcoxon book gives us the opportunity to get perfect hands. Thanks for the inspiration!
Ask any guitarist or bass player how important a good drummer is!
beautiful project but it would be great if steve gadd made a book of musical drum rhythms and a study on brushes. what do you think?
damn.. was hoping it was an autobiography !!
Nice to know what he’s like in person. Wondering how gadiments can be applied to piano?
I had a drum teacher that would make you change where the diddle was in a paradiddal and then move it to the bass drum etc... Eye opener.
If he would have been a boxer he would have given Ali a real problem !! The best groove this side of the Mississippi and the other side also !!!!
Steve Gadd: I've got this book that...
Me: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
What’s the matter with Steve?!
I know it’s not important but I really want to know how much he makes a year, does he have a pension, is he struggling financially due to COVID and does he have health insurance. I honestly don’t think people talk about these things as a musician. He’s at peak of his musicianship and field so I want to know how normal mundane but important things effect.
Vibe chamber:Check out Israeli drum phenom Yoni Madar! If you’re not hip to him already check out his videos on RUclips the guys a bitch! Unbelievable Shumark
Poor bastard is skittish! Get him back on the road! Lol
Steve Gadd’s way of thinking is so antediluvian!!!
What he is talking about has already been done by Gavin Harrison 15 years ago!!! Gavin has 2 books on displacement!! Gadd should go back & talk to Noah before he boards the Ark to publish his book!!!
The book isnt on displacement...its about revoicing rudiments...Dont underestimate Gadd....Gavin Harrison is a huge fan of Gadd.
He looks like he is dying thinner and thinner
