  • @rrdrums110 Mate, he sure wouldn't have been worried about losing a gig to you!!

  • 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.

  • Awesome rolls and flams there, and I love the kick accents.

  • 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.

  • @Mrforevernemo I sadly agree with you...

  • @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.

  • @smitske1990: It was Vinnie Colaiuta. Here's the full version:  youtube dot com/watch?v=Ln6b_nBM-V8

  • Was that Jeff Porcaro in the beginning :D?

  • what is the beat after the crazy army? the one wit the co bellw

  • 17 people are steve gadds snare and to get trolled on.

  • I remember the song!! Chuck Mangione's Legend Of The One Eyed Sailor...opens with the Steve Gadd military drums!!

  • @VaLTrantor Wowww!!Thanks...i found the whole clip!! Just awesome....speechless!! These guys are vicious!

  • Gotta say....some might call this boring, but I think this is great!! Wish I could see the whole thing!! Gotte be here on youtube somewhere!!

  • 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!!!

  • 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!!!

  • @fnkdrmmr I fucking love cobham... so under rated <3 Jus sayin

  • what heads are those on his toms? they sound awesome! Then again, gadd could make cardboard sound awesome

  • You shouldnt have cut the cowbell - it grooves so very much. Full video can be found if you just look for Weckl, Gadd, Colaiuta :)

  • For all those who say this solo's "boring"------let's hear YOU play it!!!!

  • @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.

  • More cowbell. I need more cowbell

    

  • 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.

  • @KRUNKFAMENT the solo is called crazy army, its a classic

  • @KRUNKFAMENT u could google electric wheelchair for a version of the snare part... its a marching drumline cadence

  • version of electric wheelchair!!

  • electric wheelchair lol

  • this solo was tight anyone know where i can find the whole solo??
