Steve has such a "zen" about him. Always chill and mild mannered and it comes through in his drumming. Solid relaxed groove even if the music is at a fast pace.
Very nice interview. 'Groove is an agreement.' - I'll remember that. Only the other day I had keyboard playing friend I play with talking about an old band he used to play with and he said that when they recorded it sounded too messy 'with them all grooving' and that they changed to playing 'straight' instead for the recording. As a drummer I was bothered by that... And I've been trying to work out how to explain a way that groove can happen and everything can stay tight. Gadd summed it up exactly there, it sounds like these guys weren't agreeing on their groove. I'll keep that in my back pocket, it's fine way of approching what could otherwise be a difficult subject to broach with someone who's not really listening to the players around them... "Lets agree on a groove... TOGETHER."
Bada Bing Bada Bum.....hey.... You guys have to practice on a piece a pepperoni .....never saw Steve Gadd bringing me to laugh out loud this before. now i love him even more
Feels like the front of the script was lifted from over 93.5% of all porn videos, save for the drums and Italian parts: Delivery guy ends up engaging with recipient(s) in some unexpected way and “helps” him/her/them. Loved seeing Steve play along. Great work. 👍🏽
Holy shit when he explains something as simple as how to develop an idea you can really see how awesome this guy is
+Manuel Guntin indeed! Steve is the best :)

I like this Adam Nussbaum quote a lot; "Come to the drums through the music. Not to the music through the drums".

What a righteous dude
This is the greatest thing I’ve seen all day. Listening to Steve Gadd now seems more relevant than ever to me.
The guy is a LEGEND and such a nice man. All true what he said the music is the goal!
Great interview. Thank you for this.
Gadd is a great teacher.
a fundamental component of the drummers groove is muscle relaxation and the dynamics between the components that your playing with respect to time.

SG is Nr1!!!
The guy in the hoodie is in aww. Haha
Dr Gadd 🙌
I think that is one of the living real artists ...... not only for the money....or the girls after the show
nice
3 people are complete losers. Probably the coolest drummer of all time. Thank you for posting.
Gadd impresses me more as a man than as a drummer, and I'm of course blown away from the drums.
The two go together, you can't be a great player without first becoming a good person.
For sure, brother.
Damn I wish they would've followed up on the what is groove question....
Steve when you came in italy i prepare spaghetti for you..like you've never eaten them
The real deal starts at 10:27 ...
Wow. Gadd dropping Wisdom. Thanks guys for bringing us this! Subscribed! I'm making drum videos over on my channel, come on over and check em out! :^)

+anitadavideduo thanks for watching!! stay tuned for more :):)
yes! :-)
+anitadavideduo we will start posting new videos every week after few years of other committments..so stay tuned for a great year ahead! :D
Why does this master always play on garbage drums or with garbage audio?
´Cause he can ;-)
The Master can make any drums sing. Why do you think are Yamaha drums garbage? Gadd has played Yamaha for decades
Giacomo non ci siamo
That bass drum sounds like shit 😖 dont know if its the audio or the head isnt tuned properly?!
Really bad interview. I think the guys were intimidated by Gadd and were afraid to dig in deeper about what he was talking about
Does not really explain very well...
He never does.
You guys couldn’t keep a tempo 🤣so simple wtf!!
🤓🥁👍🏼
