I’m honestly a little stunned and delighted. Steve’s been a hero of mine since I started playing drums as a teen back on the 90’s. I’ve seen so many of his performances, blown away by so many - but lately, as great as his playing been, his solos have seemed to tread on the same waters - not nearly as inventive as they used to be. This one harkens back to his 70’s and 80’s work. Inventive, musical and powerful. All the touring he’s been doing these past few years must’ve really opened him. This is amazing
The influence of his drum corps drumming comes out in this solo more than in any other one I've seen maybe other than his use of Crazy Army now and then. Honored to say that I was once guided by the legendary late Mr. Bobby Thompson as was Mr. Gadd. He even still has hints of the Thompson and Les Parks "Tea Cup" left hand grip. Gotta love it!!
@@musopaul5407 Sorry my response took so long. The "Tea Cup" grip is how you hold the left hand in the traditional grip. The pinky finger is curled up to provide better stick control. The legendary rudimental drum corps players and teachers like Les Parks (Hawthorne Cabelleros) and Bobby Thompson (taught many junior drum corps lines including Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights where I learned under him and some years previous a corps in upstate NY where he taught Steve Gadd) both used it and made it very popular. Hope that helped. The ending part of Steve's solo here is pure drum corps drumming and I can easily play right along with him note for note. I assume you're a drummer?
I adore you, my guru ! God Bless ! Nothing else to add. . . I am 55 years old and I started learning to play the drums. . . I am still a student. . . You are a monster of a performer ! ! ! Continue well! You are too good ! Thank you ! Bye Bye !
Of course he incredible on the solos but people don't give him enough credit for how in that pocket he plays that 4/4 on this and all those other amazing tunes, still like no other, well maybe Bernard Purdie. But he is on fire here, a true of case of one getting better as one ages.
His core skills are still devastating!! For anyone that doesn't consider stick control or rudiments, respectfully I say think again!!God bless you Steve gadd and thank you for all the years of the great music and the great drumming that went with it!!
unico , es diferente a todos los demas un grande del drums , lo mas grande, todos los discos de oro y platino y demas que a grabado acompañado a los mas grades musicos del mundo
Bummed Gadd never did any gigs. or tours with the Jerry Garcia Band. Would have been so good with Jerry. Gadd floors me. When he solos the music doesn't stop. It gets better. 5:07 WTF?? LOL!!! That made me slide out of my chair.
I was thinking Reilly Raiders as well but Cabelleros came to mind first. I just know I've played this exact drum corps snare solo back when I was in my teens off the Fleetwood records. I'm 74 now and a former snare drummer with 1963 to 1965 Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights. I play along note for note with Steve on this solo every time I see it!! What's your drum corps background Mathew Byerts?
I'd like to see some of these young superdrummers play with the swinging groove and precise, subtle intensity that Steve Gadd demonstrates here in a room where playing lightly is needed.
I think he even borrowed a piece of a Hawthorne Cabelleros drum solo from the early 60's. Nice use of flam taps and ratamacues towards the end. I really loved this solo!!!
At 75 and still great; guys half his age couldn’t groove like him here! True genius and a great inspiration for me in my earlier drum years
He is truly an inspiration. I first heard about him 20 years ago, and he's been one of my influences ever since.
He's an incredible drummer
Nature power ! Evergreen
Still killing it at 75, a true living legend
This guy isnt a legend. CHICK WEBB is a legend
@@slic535 "this guy" what a disrespectful dope you are,

Haha, yeah man. 5:07 made the world tilt just a bit!

Legend
NO CHICK WEBB IS A LEGEND
Reilly Raiders 1966 I believe.
I was thinking Reilly Raiders as well but Cabelleros came to mind first. I just know I've played this exact drum corps snare solo back when I was in my teens off the Fleetwood records.

What's your drum corps background Mathew Byerts?
Only better with age.
This guy is ok but he is not like the legend CHICK WEBB The KING OF SWING! Buddy Rich said Chick Webb was the greatest drummer who ever lived!
You aren’t even trying to troll, gtfo
Buddy Rich never saw Steve Gadd!!
ok? are you deaf ?
Steve God!!
I'd like to see some of these young superdrummers play with the swinging groove and precise, subtle intensity that Steve Gadd demonstrates here in a room where playing lightly is needed.

Waw..mymaster..
This zoom to mono thing is tripping me out. Since when do the phone do this.
WORLD CLASS !!
Like a fine wine...
I knew Gadd sat low, but man does he sit low and slays it.
какой кайф!!!
The best master drum.
Gaddおじさんやっぱり人間じゃない
