  • Most commenters are not getting this clip. Jazz drummers always play the tune. To do so, you must be as intimate with the melody, harmony and structure as any of the other players. Gadd is demonstrating how he might play brushes to this tune, by singing the melody out loud. If he were playing with an ensemble he would continually sing the melody silently to himself. This has nothing to do with Gadd's singing abilities. It's about musicianship, something 98% of drummers need a good lesson in.

  • here are the lyrics for anyone who wanted to sing along:

    Chorus: ta ta ta ta ta da, ta ta ta do da, ta ta ta ta ta ta ta, ta do do ta (repeat)

  • 2:05 very cool

  • If drumming was a martial art, Chuck Norris would run from Steve Gadd.

  • Anyone catch that triplet thing at 1:15?

  • If he could sing as good as he can drum he would be godlike

  • @ironman77725 Huh?! Steve Gadd is also in the Circus?

  • @gh2master101 ha ha maybe you're just a retard,, good luck with that. peace out..

  • @ironman77725 That is officially the most retarded comment I have ever read on Youtube, it did not make ANY sense at all.
