Buddy Rich said, (in more than one occasion), that Steve Gadd was one of the best drummers coming out of the "new era" because of his modern and innovative style of drumming. Buddy liked Steve a lot... and rightfully so. Steve went on to play and record with some of the most important artists and highly regarded musicians in the world. Steve Gadd, at 73 years old, is still a beast behind the drum kit. God Bless him!Kai - congrats brother on meeting and having the opportunity to chat with a living legend - and one of the best drummers of all time!
No matter how fast or complex you could play, steve will always teach you a lesson on how to groove and make music on drums. Steve Gadd, the one in a millon drummer.
My idol! He's never flashy. No need to twirl sticks and mumble some rap while laying down his chops. He gets it done by simply laying down a groove. That's why he's one of the most sought after studio musicians around. Thanks for the vid!
Mr Gadd is a legit legend 🏆 💯 To still have these chops into his 70s is totally inspiring, man. His duets with Vinnie on Randy Waldman’s ‘Superheroes’ album are brilliant.
Yes!! After the gig I waited for his autograph and also spoke with him briefly. He asked if I enjoyed the gig and I almost laughed because it was so good! This was the 6th time I saw him live but in my opinion he's playing better now than ever before :) So inspiring that I had to share this footage.
So musical and melodic, a band on his own. A monster drummer. I think that I read that Steve was once a tap dancer and that this helped his posture/ergonomics at the drum kit especially his feet
Nice to see Steve playing matched grip here part of the time, my personal preference when I play. Love his locked down groove. I always try to get at least some of that tight, in the pocket, funk groove myself, too. Just that much sexier. To me. Still not quite at Steve's level with all the rudiments but I'm trying.😉 And that gorgeous Hammond B-3 organ be killing it. Everybody killing it. Very nice jam everyone.
told the story too many times so stop me if you heard this...I saw him live with Chic Correa at BYC Blue Note in Dec 2001. Saw 4 shows, got on line 4 hours before the place opened to get a set RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. (I had get up so he could get out...). On the 2nd show on Sat night, he played a solo samba that brought down the roof...never heard people scream like that in a small club...5 minutes of that...thought the room would explode...I am still speechless...
budy rich one say he grate drummer. steve use to tap dancers when litle boy. he play march band. i learn this to share with all peeple on you tube. i feel lke smart man , yours welcomes
Those hands spent 40odd years practicing doubles still can't come close to Gadd might be the only 100 year old old drummer still touring playing better than the rest of us
Wow, 0:11: 0:27 It is Absolutely Horrific how severe his Tics got within 2 Weeks. Tourette’s is no Joke. This New Medicine is suppose to Reverse the Symptoms within 6 to 8 Weeks.
LOOK NO FURTHER: That’s pretty much everything that’s great about Steve Gadd’s playing. Signature awesomeness!

Been listening to Gadd forever and it wasn't about the chops but the amazing feel on the drums. No wonder he's had a fruitful career! Long live Gadd!
Most don't get this sort of touch is hard to achieve. Dynamics and feel smoove like Butter.
Just flows so smooth...
Yes very smoove!
This guy would groove playing a pair of matchsticks. Incredible musician. I’ve been lucky enough to see him live three times and meet him twice.
The Groovemaster is still Amazing behind the kit. Truly an incredible musician. I could watch and listen to Steve Gadd all day.
when you just listen, you can't believe a 74 years old man on drum.lovely drum solo.
Why? Drumming is more about technique and wrist control than anything.
He loves drum so much~~drum loves him much ~~~ they are one~~~~♥
Long live Steve Gadd!!
Yes!!!
he is absolutely amazing human being, so inspiring

Thanks for sharing
awsome!
At 1:19, throwback to drum corps solo :)
Thanks for posting this!
Steve, you’re just TOO FUCKING COOL!!!! Count that quarter note!!!!
He has such a strong touch. Almost like Led Zeppelin (Bonzo) to jazz😎
Exactly. A very refined Bonzo.
Gadd according to Webster , 'Smooooooth'...
Love this feel.
I believe in Gadd!
This guy's snare...... Holy f*ck!!!
That's 60's Ludwig Acrolite.
@@KaitsuDrums Ludwig in the right hands

👍🙂E-Gadd!! The original Mutant-Beast!!!!🙂‼️
Smokn post. Gadd's still god
Terimakasih Yutube saya bisa nonton musik yang ku suka .para musisi yang suka .
SG♥
หายเร็วๆ ครับ
Gadd is God
Sportsmen = Career finished around 35 y old
DRUMMERS = Career finished till they pass away
( let’s not talk about the earnings )
🥁 🥊
Even Phil Collins agrees in the background !!!
That Phil in the background is Eddie Jarl :)
Phil is okay with me :D - but thanks for the credit @@KaitsuDrums
Great videos. Man is he killing it or what!?
Buddy Rich is yet alive
Those hands spent 40odd years practicing doubles still can't come close to Gadd might be the only 100 year old old drummer still touring playing better than the rest of us
Walk like an Egyptian
Phil Collins is right behind Steve.😏😉
Makes me realize that most drummers over play.
Gadd will forever be the greatest but this band is boring and he was the only bright spot...Not the best music I've ever heard by far.
