Gadd is always so musical and understated and probably the most influential drummer with just regard to his discography. You were influenced whether you knew it or not.
Little do you youngsters know and understand, is that Steve Gadd played on a lot of TV show theme songs and a lot of commercials in the 70's, 80's, & 90's!! He is the innovator and creator of Disco, Pop, Jazz, & Pop Latin Music! A lot of Gospel drummers and R & B drummers mimic his style of playing and put their own spin on it! And let us not be so rude and vulgar to our fellow community of drummers! I'm sure each one of you are all great musicians, just with different approaches!
"all western music comes from Africa and Greece" A shining example of a made-up fact. So in your opinion no western music has it's origins in Asia, the Americas or northern Europe.
Wow wow wow, I'm a a metal drummer, and I love so much Gadd, Weckl, Colaiuta and so on... Don't say that blast beat players are unmusical and not open-minded /watch?v=nLe-qvsy71Q&feature=c4-overview&list=UU5_QlLa23CZ-MWSWe8GNtUw
You know you sound exactly like the people your making fun of. On another note I loved this solo. I wish there was music to play drums like this too that didn't always have cheezy synth sounds xD
Simply by your comment 'can do things most drummers only dream about', you concur that most GC players overplay. 'Do things?' It is supposed to be about the music. Showmanship? or how about showing off? Taste and musicality stand the test of time. Bill Stewart or Gadd can speak more with two bars, than most gospel guys do with a whole tune. That's just how it is.
Oh oui, il est bon tel le bon vin. Plus il vieillit plus il devient bon. Je ne connais actuellement d'autres batteurs ! Un musicien, tel un peintre, a un style bien à lui. C'est sa signature. J'aimais bien et j'adorais même presque R. Tee. J'adorais aussi P. Simon. Mais depuis, je trouve que c'est triste, voire morne et insipide. Ciao
first of all everyone there is no such thing as what is wrong or right musically because every culture in the world has a different meaning and purpose of what music is
Just to follow up - You probably think Tony William's didn't know how to tune his drums, eh? It's ok. I was young and closed minded once, too. You'll grow out of it. Hopefully.
I like blast beats, but I'm still a big fan of Steve God...Usually those who dislike Gadd are ignorant fan of travis, not serious metalheads. Don't become close-minded just because a few teenagers piss you off, metal is not a style for ignorant people like you may think.
WOAAAHHH wait wait wait....lets make this clear...."Gospel chops" is a brand NOT a style of playing. ALL of the great players come from different backgrounds and mostly respect the same thing...which is music. Prime example...Calvin Rodgers is a "Gospel drummer" who doesn't over play and grew up on Vinnie Colaiuta,Tony Williams and STEVE GADD and is open to everything. or George Koallias or Derrek Roddy who studied more than just metal As long as you know music is relative you'll prosper.
HaHa. Ballard couldn't even shine Gadd's drums. If you don't like him or anyone else then shut the hell up. We really don't care for your opinion because you probably can't play anyway. Not everyone likes the style of all drummers. That's why there are lots of them. Love 'em or leave 'em !!

The drum mix is awesome.
I love how Steve Bounces up and down on the drum throne to get that extra dynamic...
How can anybody vote thie wonderful video negative?
Larry & Steve - two masters.

I think it's all personal preference. Although Steve Gadd is the Master with years of experience and that in itself speaks volume!!!
winnerrrr
1 pedal , 2 pedals, 3 pedals...skeet skeet skeet, does it matter when you sound this good.
Dare I say... simply the BEST! No ejaculation - but close.
That cowbell grooves takes me all the way, all the time.
SEMPRE FERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What hat sizes is he using? uses? Just curious.. Could they be 15"s ?
STEVE IS A MONSTER
MUITO BOM !
He's using a double-pedal?? Holy crap!!!
what kind of music would u call this?
if you look back at Steely Dan's Aja recording Steve Gadd did that in one take.....
Another made up fact.
Shark Eyone 2 hours was the length of the session.
and for your information all western music comes from Africa and Greece
"all western music comes from Africa and Greece" A shining example of a made-up fact.
So in your opinion no western music has it's origins in Asia, the Americas or northern Europe.
western music was played in Greece before it went to northern Europe
steve gadd so laid back he could drum horizontal
Reminds me of George Clooney 😃
search for this guy HUUB JANSSEN amazing!!!!!!!!!
Larry Goldings on org.
Wow wow wow, I'm a a metal drummer, and I love so much Gadd, Weckl, Colaiuta and so on...

Wow - that is a crazy Songo, hes so comfortable in that beat. Heplays it left or right hand.Shuffled or non shuffled. Very strange.
victor woo!!!
very tasty...even the solo grooves :)
@mrsmithcolin175 why?
@xvizionsx Steve Gadd...
pocket !!!

A sweet tasting ratamacue with chocholate double dribble paradiddle smothered with thick, rich caramel zildjan bronze.

Ciao
I think JoJo Mayer has so much a better a foot technique, but he (Gadd) is still truly awesome.
I made a youtube account simply to agree with this comment.
first of all everyone there is no such thing as what is wrong or right musically because every culture in the world has a different meaning and purpose of what music is
haha he hesitates at 1:28 jsut before he hits his crash, still fantastic though.
There is a reason why gospel chops drummers are all under 30 yo.... When the mind matures, all that juvenile chops shit becomes passe and trivial.
Steve is far better until 1:30 where he shows only (wich is insane technicaly but less interesting)
in some cultures it isn't about time and groove
Guess you would know huh?
Gadd uses 2 pedals, Jojo 1 pedal, so Gadd is out of the chalenge! ;P
that's how you use a double bass pedal!
....or Steve Godd as I like to call him....
Steve Gadd, die Waffe !!
JoeSchulz.de.vu
Manis
steve gadd is one of the reasons i got better!,im glad i didnt fall into that travis barker crap haha
Just to follow up - You probably think Tony William's didn't know how to tune his drums, eh? It's ok. I was young and closed minded once, too. You'll grow out of it. Hopefully.
vinnie calouita and dave weckl any day..
Comments made human.....hahahahah!
imagine if steve tried playing heavy metal lol
I like blast beats, but I'm still a big fan of Steve God...Usually those who dislike Gadd are ignorant fan of travis, not serious metalheads. Don't become close-minded just because a few teenagers piss you off, metal is not a style for ignorant people like you may think.

just peed a little
ok, i'm ignorant you're deaf.
Now this is a real drummer!! Not like these wannabe metalcore idiots today..... haha
i may be ignorant but not when it comes to great music making.This drum playing is stiff and only collection of boring phrases.
HaHa. Ballard couldn't even shine Gadd's drums.
If you don't like him or anyone else then shut the hell up. We really don't care for your opinion because you probably can't play anyway.
Not everyone likes the style of all drummers. That's why there are lots of them.
Love 'em or leave 'em !!
one of he most boring drummers
Yes I agree, however their solos are fucking boring. It's like shred guitarists and just as unmusical and wanky.
