I've watched this drum battle clip a hundred times and the Crazy Army intro into the cowbell groove is still the coolest part. Gadd's first solo break is also badass. Chops are cool, but they don't give me goose bumps like the intro does.
OMG!! Please....someone help me with this one!! I remember Steve used this as the opening of a Chuck Mangione tune, but I can't remember which one!! *sigh*...gettin old sucks somedays!!!

Dudes, it doesn't take a technical masterpiece to move an audience... besides Gadd has done that thousands fo times. Instead Gadd decided to play a simple solo with an amazing sense of groove and perfect ghost notes.
best part of this video is the last 3 seconds. GROOVIN AS FUCK. watch the 9 min vid of this. it starts right where this one left off. they all rip it up. especially steve.

This solo is as boring as watching paint dry!!! especially in a BUDDY RICH memerial. You've got to be kidding. Buddy would hate it... And could play it one handed.
@Youwishyoucouldplay What a fat sack of dumb crap you are hahaha! I bet your a retarded metal drummer who doesn't appreciate the real stuff? I have a question for you. Do you know what the big word TECHNIQUE means? Because BUDDY RICH was all into TECHNIQUE, and so is STEVE GADD. Buddy Rich is fast, Steve Gadd has finesse. Two different things, now stop trolling and appreciate the stuff that you need to learn
@ParallaxDrums What an assumptive dumbass you are...Calling ne a metal lover..Yuck. I'm into jazz and fusion. I'm of the Billy Cobham level of playing but I'm striving to get to Tony Williams' greatness. Both of them shit in the toilet Gadd lives in.
@rrdrums0110 Your at the level of taking a shit when you sit at the drums, you nobody! Upload a video of yourself doing crazy army like this including the cowbell beat dickface or STFU "retardrums0110"
@ParallaxDrums Someone either tell me this Gaddfly has one lung missing or emphysema or I'm spamming this Geritol drinking slomo biatch to death up in here!!!!
@drummerforreal1 "I'm spamming" yeah Jeff the ex janitor here spams everyone, he says his daddy worked in a top secret lab at NASA , and that the moon landing is fake and that no one has ever been to the moon, his brother is also a famous book writer and he can play the drums better than Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, of course when anyone asks him to back it up his ball shrink and he diverts, run's away, changes the subject, or just insults people, ignore the troll.
This is the site where shit for sticks fucktards pretend that Steve Gadd is more important than upper echelon drummers.Drummerslike Tony Williams Buddy Rich Elvin Jones and currently Billy Kilson. Did I mention that you were fucktardnon players w/a clay foot idol?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
None of this fucking matters because Neil Peart is the most enjoyable drummer in the world....he has flawless technical play, ridiculous speed, AND the creativity to put compose a piece that is complex and fun to listen to at the same time....all these guys are phenomenal drummers....but they can't touch Neil in the overall experience of just sitting and listening to a solo piece....
I dont know why people compare artist who are a generation or two (or more) apart because the later comparison always has the upper hand (better or not) because he/she can draw from collective memory and recorded history such as any innovations in the field and in the field of drumming it's always changing and giving birth to new innovations. Buddy wouldn't have a clue what to do with a 9 piece drum set. Gavin Harrison does but he's not better or worse at the drums than buddy, just different.
buddy wouldnt have any idea what to do with a 9 piece kit well my dumbass friend it dosent take a huge kit to produce great music it dosent matter how big your kit is buddy could drum circles around a guy with a 30 piece kit
Okay ... Buddy Rich and Steve Gadd do two entirely different things. A comparison shows narrowness and disrespect for a couple of really great drummers.
btw ... where can we hear some of your work? Be fun to put you into the loop of substance, or not.
Yea its disrepectful to both. But from a technical point of view, Rich could do a LOT more than Gadd could. Yes Gadd has great grooves but here all I see are slow flam taps and a few drags. Not much that impresses. I have seen better Gadd videos, dont worry. I know this isnt his best (at ALL), but I do think he is a little overrated at times. Now is the time where everyone downrates me!
I think you're making a good observation here ... Yes, not one of his best videos. Even so, I've always appreciated how Gadd seems to fit into the music groove when backing up a group, whomever the group. It's like a different light bulb goes on. (Example: Al Jarreau with Gadd drumming.)
Just reading the discussion here (obviously) confirms that he's worthy of discussion. And, his ongoing contribution to the music industry ... we're lucky to have so much video to enjoy!
Oh no doubt at all. Gadd's musicality is far beyond most players who are masters in technique. To me, it may not appear as impressive, but it certainly something that deserves a great(er) honor. But on the other hand, his technique is not up to par with some other players (Rich, Colaiuta, Smith etc). And his clinic's nowadays are not too much fun; he gets tired very quickly! So we dont get to see all the awesome grooves, haha!
for all you people saying this solo is boring you need to see it in the context of the whole vid, this is an excerpt from a group solo with vinny and dave. dave and vinny go before steve and just put out some chop busters (which gadd is capable of doing), but instead of boring the audience with another technical masterpiece... he simplifys it and puts out somthing that the audience can bop their head to. changing it up like this gets a good response is a great technique when
exactly, gadd isn't about blowing your dick off with shit that most people can't figure out how to do, gadd's all about finesse and showing people whats up
@charlielloydboyd agreed. you need to view the entire video to do the performance justice. it's amazing. plus to play what steve gadd is playing in that excerpt that clean and accurately requires a lot of skill.
Gadd's snare drum technique is so clean. I guess when you're in the Army playing drums, you have to be crisp. Also, it's amazing how much HATE drummers show one another on youtube. Between the racism and just plain ignorance, makes me ashamed of being a drummer. Now I understand why Cobham moved to Switzerland - to get away from all the ignorance the Western Hemisphere promotes.
well said!sometimes on youtube its so ridicilous (bad spelling) that some people just say stupid stuff bout good drummers like joey jordison!yes being fast isnt everything but its just another way of being a good drummer!
Agree totally, the vitriol displayed in many of these threads embarrasses me as a drummer. I just want to play music, not have a pissing competition.
The biggest offenders are the speed & chops trolls. This drummer is faster than that drummer, this guy is better than that one, ad infinitum.
They don't get it; music isn't a sport. Sometimes less is more and the value of an individual such as Gadd is far more influential than some expressionless, banal display of ego.
@Samsgarden What's wrong w/gadd? Did he lose a lung? have a bad ticker? Have a rule of never breaking a sweat or playing more than 200 Bpm's for any reason what so ever? why can't he lift a drumstick no bigger than a chop stick up and propel it into a drum head so that some true percussion might occur. God he has great tech but no fire. EVER
@fnkdrmmr Couldn't agree with you more! We've still got a LONG way to go in this country when it comes to appreciating REAL talent in musicians! I don't blame Billy for moving to Switzerland (many other prominent jazz/fusion musicians have relocated to Europe) I mean........why should they stay here when Americans worship bullshit like Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, Snoop Dog, etc........pitiful.
@fnkdrmmr i understand your point, and think its a good one, but just so you know, Switzerland is still in the western hemisphere. and even if it werent, theres just as much ignorance and racism promoted in the eastern hemisphere. ignorance and racism arent geographical characteristics, theyre human characteristics.
drumming isnt for people to hear, or compare or judge. its for you to enjoy when you play alone... thats all that counts. if you enjoy what you play when you sit down at YOUR KIT then cheers to you all!
Z0mGdzz that's lyk s0oo0 shit lyk joey jordizon is way btr dan dis fag0t.
Fuckers who talk like that really piss me off.
Yes, I'm a naive little 13 year old drummer.
And even I have the decency and knowledge to know that Joey and other metal drummers who probably practiced for 5 minutes on a double kick pedal are just fucking shallow.
Steve Gadd revolutionized drumming and music in the 70's.
He's a fucking legend.
Anyone asshole who thinks otherwise is obviously a wannabe.
lolland30...Where's my invitation to come to your Gadd time measurement and experimental time warp laboratory? I can do it I tell ya. I'll be the first one ever to pass the time machine measuring device after how many hundreds or was it thousands failed?
Lolland30. Ok I get it You run a laboratory that's set up w/measuring instruments. Then you find Bad mouth gadd drummers then somehow u get em to come get measured on advancing retarding beat. And so far nobody has passed the measurement test meter? I know I can. How do I get to your world famous Institute to have the GaDD TIME TESTING DONE? IT is certified yes?Is there a prize for staying at right timing?Probably not since nobody ever wins huh?
You left a comment about Gadd not having power in his ankle to make you feel the bass beat right? This video should have a special title just for you: "Congratulations, You're Retarded"
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 25 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
btw this sounds better than someone just hitting on a double bass it has rhythem not just speed but joey or whatefver has speed ill give him that but im sure he wouldnt say he is better than steve gadd
JOEY FROM SLIPKNOT! FOOL! how about you know what you are talking about steve gadd is one of the greatest drumers as shown by the 80'000 quotes from drummers that matter not joey from slipknot
as i stated before, Gadd accomplished more by the time he was 11 years old, then you have in your 57 years.
Gadd is not just a funk drummer my friend, he is pretty much the only drummer that has recorded in all the musical genres. Buddy rich and Louie Bellson have all commented on Gadds ability to play jazz.
So i am posting these quotes on Gadd once again, just to prove how insignificant your opinion really is.
thanks for calling that dude out, i read a comment rrdrums110 left on another one of gadds videos and i was furious because of the things he was saying about gadd
Apparently rrdrums110 has now gone to other videos and attacked not only Gadd but Louie Bellson. Then he made some digs at young Matt Smith, who promptly suggested that rrdrums110 was a pretend drummer and a fraud. This really got Mr. rr going. I think Smith is on to something. Everyone insist that rrdrums110 post video or admit he doesn't play drums. Come on, you know he doesn't.
MAN I AM REALLY THANKFUL 4 ALL YOU SAID! you said the facts exactly like they are! (sr 4 bad english) I am a 16 yo drummer, i am playing drums for 2 years now and steve gadd is my idol! I cant stand people that talk bad about steve gadd! and surely not them who thnk joey jordison as a good drummer!
"Steve Gadd was and probably still is, the best at that particular kind of drumming. I think that's because he has a jazz background, so he's able to incorporate it when he plays. He was very interesting in the beginning. Out of all the drummers I've heard, Gadd would have to be the one who has the most class behind the drums.*
"I can't think of another percussionist today who has inspired more drummers than Steve Gadd. His level of innovation, sheer technical mastery of the instrument, and dedication to the groove in every style of music he plays has delighted and instructed countless drummers in how good drumming can be. I'm grateful for every paradiddle, single and double stroke the man has ever played."
" I couldn't believe it from the first time I heard Steve. Not only does he do what he does with technical brilliance, but he basically put the word "music" right in the forefront of the drums. His influence on me was tremendous, as well as his influence on the entire drumming and musical world!"
"Steve is one of the greatest drummers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He caused me many a nights' headaches trying to figure out his rhythms, but I enjoyed doing it."
Kenny Aronoff;
"Steve Gadd is one of the greatest and most influential drummers/musicians ever! His feel, ideas and talent with music and drumming are at the highest level possible. It's an honor to know him."
"I got my first Yamaha kit in 1978 because my hero, Steve Gadd, used them. I still play a black Recording Custom kit beacuse of him."
Steve Smith;
"His pocket is the deepest, his time is flawless and his ideas innovative. In fact, I get asked all the time about a certain fill I played in the Journey tune "Separate Ways", my answer: it's a Gadd lick, and I stole it! thank you Steve for all the incredible music"
Andy Newmark (former drummer of John Lennon, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Sly & the Family Stone, Roxy Music and many others.) ;
"Steve is an institution. When you see him play he makes it all make sense. The reason it always works is because Steve is playing Steve. He's probably the first guy to understand and have a genuine feel for rock and pop-and have the technical facility and feel of a jazz drummer as well. He's an original, poetry in motion"
"Steve Gadd represents one of the most complete players in the world. He has it all, technique, groove, you name it. I've been a big fan of his for many years."
Chick Corea
"Every drummer wants to play like Gadd because he plays perfect... He has brought orchestral and compositional thinking to the drum kit while at the same time having a great imagination and a great ability to swing."
THE BEST RHYTHM SECTION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD: Ralph Macdonald, Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Richard Tee, Anthony Jackson"
Dave Weckl
"The first thing I remember hearing Steve on was Chick Corea's 'Humpty Dumpty'. When I heard him play, I lost it. After that, I listened a lot to Steve's work with Chick."
rrdrums110: Here's the issue: Your whole agrument is "the more chops, the better the drummer". That is a very tired argument that has never had merit. You can be the fastest, have the best chops and I guarentee you 99.99999% of the time, in the vast majority of popular/rock music, you will never use those skills. Why, because most songs do not require or want the drummer to be all over the place. He's there to provide the backing. Jazz may offer a player improv, but it's a form few listen to.
charlie loyd boy.. at 25 just another punk w/shit for brains w/no time behind a drumset and to Seaclamb who thinks all things are equal.. They're clarly not but I do like kunkel more than Gadd but robinson or Keltner are best studio drummers for the masses
For rrdrums110: You need to grow up. Gadd is a legend. No one in the industry would deny that. Just because he may not be your cup of tea, doesn't make him a bad drummer. Personally, I don't care for Colaiuta or Weckl, but I still recognize they are great drummers too. My personal favorite and drumming inspiration, Russ Kunkel, is no chops master compared to Weckl or Colaiuta, never the less, he's widely considered one of the best, most recorded drummers. One style is no better than the other.
And I'm not the only unmystified either. Some guys that have been around know that Steve Gadd is a prolific funky mor drummer yes but a technician, a teacher of chops a true jazz musician a big band swing drummer a true rock player ? No and never was or will be. Go back to studio Mr gadd. That's your home. Play your little steely dan nothing parts in perfect click track time w/your mediocre suckin in the seventy's la studio sound forever. But it ain't jazz or impressive
cesar.. if you knuckleheads would quit writing your 21 year old don't know shit can't play bubblegumrock even yet modern drummer trash spewing shit for brains won't study the true greats and just want to be in the muzak status quo. I promise to never come back to this paper machete of grandiosity worship site. when i come to write you clowns and I probably will if you jerks keep trying to put me down. By the way dumbass the world is far from fine try reading a newspaper instead of MD
Haha seems like Mr Noob is everywhere, bashing Steve Gadd on every possible channel. You do sound like a very bitter soul u realise? You should really get your ass on the stool and practise harder. Maybe then you'll be able to reach a fraction of Gadd's level if you're lucky
to rottenhoof...Yeah I guess that's why it's Buddy Rich tony williams billy cobham joe morello philly jo papa jo sonny payne ian paice carl palmer for me. every one of them could play this b/s w/one hand either hand and still carry that so called godly groove you sind so elusive. non metronome plAYERS. hELL CAN'T PLAY WAY OUT OF PAPER BAG FALSE IDOLIZERS
calm down, everything is going to be all rigth, its not a big deal, the world is just fine, and the most important thing, nobody cares about your opinion, your opinion does not affect anybody, so stop commenting useless things, and if steve gadd achivementsa and succed affects you so much do a favor for you and stop watching his videos, YOU NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT
thanks alot "nudist0885" great help, finally got to see how it ended ... he's just such an awesome drummer, far ahead of the comersiallised drummers that we see today thanks again
Yeah he's got the same tired used up riffs over ND OVER AGAIN. always slow always unenergetic and he even gets tired after a couple minutes of snoozin'. I like messing w/this clown and you worshippers even more than Dennis Chambers .. You non players are fanatical. By the way some youtube non player nazis are slandering me saying I only bash. You need to get to the real drummer sites . That's where i say thank you. I don't false idolize. Maybe that's cause I can really play.
Just because you only like boomtacboomtacboomtacboomtac drummers, that doesn't mean you have to bash on Gadd (which I believe you are, my apologees if you're not).
Gadd is not unergetic and not slow, try recording what you play, setting it to 2x speed and it'll be about half as fast as Gadd can play. Metal drummers perhaps have to be fast, but jazz drummers have to play with feel and melody. Too bad those are things you can't appreciate.
yea, i'm gonna have to agree with you. but it doesn't matter. he's a fucking beast. and that's that. just because he's boring doesn't mean he's bad. he's so technical, and that's all that matters. just my 2 cents.
YOU obviously don't know what an opinion is, I'm fucking sick of you internet Nazis who don't agree with anyone so you just bash everyone, the commenting option is there for people who want to to provide their input not to be assholes, In MY opinion I think Gadd is boring, I HATE Steely Dan, and if I were to name a drummer that has everything Gadd wishes he had would be Billy Cobham, I don't give a rats fucking ass if you don't agree with me, you're clearly a little bitch who's not worth my time
Ooooo see now you just generalized cobham's drumming the same way I did for Gadd's, the reason I like cobham is not just his speed and chops, but the man has fucking groove, another reason I like cobham is who he played with, cobham's repertoire of groups he's been affiliated are much more impressive/interesting than Gadd, sorry I don't have the same interest in music as most middle aged people (aren't generalizations great), sometimes I think Gadd just tries too hard
I don't care if you think he's boring, he revolutionized drumming and he's one of the best drummer of all times. You probably think travis barker is the best drummer
This is either the beginning of "Legend Of The One Eyed Soldier" by Chuck Mangione, or it's the beginning of "Hill Where The Lord Hides" by Chuck Mangione. I can't remember.
hey it's on the king of drummers video here on youtube. check it out. and i think what he plays after this little solo is a version of his mozambique riff he does.
This Solos Part of a three-man jam, gadd plays together with Colaiuta and Weckl. Search these three and you'll get the whole 9 min Video, the all solo to this samba groove.
I did some studio work in the late '90s in Nashville and a couple other places in Canada with David Leonard, one of his earliest gigs was engineering TOTO IV
just listen to David plain' "Dante's Passion".. he's really good! and if he really work together with Toto engineering TOTO IV .. i can just bow to you lol.. i mean it.
Awesome rolls and flams there, and I love the kick accents.

Yea its disrepectful to both. But from a technical point of view, Rich could do a LOT more than Gadd could. Yes Gadd has great grooves but here all I see are slow flam taps and a few drags. Not much that impresses. I have seen better Gadd videos, dont worry. I know this isnt his best (at ALL), but I do think he is a little overrated at times. Now is the time where everyone downrates me!
Kelavmeister 2 years ago
I think you're making a good observation here ... Yes, not one of his best videos. Even so, I've always appreciated how Gadd seems to fit into the music groove when backing up a group, whomever the group. It's like a different light bulb goes on. (Example: Al Jarreau with Gadd drumming.)
Just reading the discussion here (obviously) confirms that he's worthy of discussion. And, his ongoing contribution to the music industry ... we're lucky to have so much video to enjoy!
fillnns 2 years ago
Oh no doubt at all. Gadd's musicality is far beyond most players who are masters in technique. To me, it may not appear as impressive, but it certainly something that deserves a great(er) honor. But on the other hand, his technique is not up to par with some other players (Rich, Colaiuta, Smith etc). And his clinic's nowadays are not too much fun; he gets tired very quickly! So we dont get to see all the awesome grooves, haha!

for all you people saying this solo is boring you need to see it in the context of the whole vid, this is an excerpt from a group solo with vinny and dave. dave and vinny go before steve and just put out some chop busters (which gadd is capable of doing), but instead of boring the audience with another technical masterpiece... he simplifys it and puts out somthing that the audience can bop their head to. changing it up like this gets a good response is a great technique when

Gadd's snare drum technique is so clean. I guess when you're in the Army playing drums, you have to be crisp. Also, it's amazing how much HATE drummers show one another on youtube. Between the racism and just plain ignorance, makes me ashamed of being a drummer. Now I understand why Cobham moved to Switzerland - to get away from all the ignorance the Western Hemisphere promotes.

Agree totally, the vitriol displayed in many of these threads embarrasses me as a drummer. I just want to play music, not have a pissing competition.
The biggest offenders are the speed & chops trolls. This drummer is faster than that drummer, this guy is better than that one, ad infinitum.
They don't get it; music isn't a sport. Sometimes less is more and the value of an individual such as Gadd is far more influential than some expressionless, banal display of ego.

@Samsgarden What's wrong w/gadd? Did he lose a lung? have a bad ticker? Have a rule of never breaking a sweat or playing more than 200 Bpm's for any reason what so ever? why can't he lift a drumstick no bigger than a chop stick up and propel it into a drum head so that some true percussion might occur. God he has great tech but no fire. EVER

Everyone insist that rrdrums110 post video or admit he doesn't play drums. Come on, you know he doesn't.

I love drummers, but it disappoints me because they have not elevated the art of drumming. They've set it back quite a few years.
I think the only guy who made a dent in the change-over, if you want to call it that, was Gadd.
vicegripsmirnoff 2 years ago
Buddy Rich
"Steve Gadd was and probably still is, the best at that particular kind of drumming. I think that's because he has a jazz background, so he's able to incorporate it when he plays. He was very interesting in the beginning. Out of all the drummers I've heard, Gadd would have to be the one who has the most class behind the drums.*

I'm grateful for every paradiddle, single and double stroke the man has ever played."

rrdrums110: Here's the issue: Your whole agrument is "the more chops, the better the drummer". That is a very tired argument that has never had merit. You can be the fastest, have the best chops and I guarentee you 99.99999% of the time, in the vast majority of popular/rock music, you will never use those skills. Why, because most songs do not require or want the drummer to be all over the place. He's there to provide the backing. Jazz may offer a player improv, but it's a form few listen to.

rrdrums110 2 years ago
For rrdrums110: You need to grow up. Gadd is a legend. No one in the industry would deny that. Just because he may not be your cup of tea, doesn't make him a bad drummer. Personally, I don't care for Colaiuta or Weckl, but I still recognize they are great drummers too. My personal favorite and drumming inspiration, Russ Kunkel, is no chops master compared to Weckl or Colaiuta, never the less, he's widely considered one of the best, most recorded drummers. One style is no better than the other.
Seaclam67 2 years ago
And I'm not the only unmystified either. Some guys that have been around know that Steve Gadd is a prolific funky mor drummer yes but a technician, a teacher of chops a true jazz musician a big band swing drummer a true rock player ?

Just because you only like boomtacboomtacboomtacboomtac drummers, that doesn't mean you have to bash on Gadd (which I believe you are, my apologees if you're not).
Gadd is not unergetic and not slow, try recording what you play, setting it to 2x speed and it'll be about half as fast as Gadd can play. Metal drummers perhaps have to be fast, but jazz drummers have to play with feel and melody. Too bad those are things you can't appreciate.

Ooooo see now you just generalized cobham's drumming the same way I did for Gadd's, the reason I like cobham is not just his speed and chops, but the man has fucking groove, another reason I like cobham is who he played with, cobham's repertoire of groups he's been affiliated are much more impressive/interesting than Gadd, sorry I don't have the same interest in music as most middle aged people (aren't generalizations great), sometimes I think Gadd just tries too hard
