you cant compare steve gadd to john bonham/ringo starr/charlie watts. they were famous because of the bands they played in,, steve gadds is famous for his muscianship, timing and feel. he wouldnt get the ridiculous amount of session gigs he does playing in all genres if he wasn't talented. i dunno if you are a session muscian but the scene, is so competitive, you dont make it to the top unless you have the skills
Vinnie Colaiuta;
" 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!"

@livejamm69 i did not get pissed off, but for ANYBODY to say that Gadd is "overated" is enough for me to get a good chuckle.
Gadd has transcendent all labels and categories, he has recorded/played with Eric Clapton/Frank Sinatra/Paul McCartney/Chick Corea/Luciano Pavarotti/Michael Jackson/Charles Mingus/Chet Baker/Paul Desmond/Stevie Wonder/Paul Simon, to name a few.
Afterall, this is what makes a great drummer, someone who can play the music. Chops are useless if you cant play the music.
