Wow Nick,the second you started this video I said to my self,that's Steve Gadd,other than Bonzo he is the only recognizable drummer you can tell just by listening, and yes the black sticks gave it away some lol,great video, there is always something I take from them,Thanks,hope your band is doing well 😅
This is SO helpful. I have watched a ton of drummers try to explain and demo Gadd licks and you are a breath of fresh air. I have to say it even Steve himself is a bit hard to follow. The deconstruction into phrases is mind blowingly simple and really exposes Steve's creativity for all to see and be inspiwere by in terms of flow. .Practice and execution is another story altogether, (😳) but hey, now I have a road map I can follow. I am beyond grateful, you have no idea how much your approach helps! ~TEU~
That was a great lesson thanks for breaking those down. Those Steve Gadd sticks from Vic Firth are my favorites when I'm not playing clear-finish 7A's.
Steve is a beast, I remember the days in practice room working on the book Close Up! This video is so much fun and well explained! Looking forward for more videos like this! Well done Nick!
beautiful Nick...UDaMan. got me back to 50 ways to dial it more with the kick subtlety, and interesting the double stroke for me on my RH ( a lefty) little lazy also. And definitely take on late in evening instead using 4 sticks. thankx for the inspiration 👌
I was waiting for it, and yes, you picked up the extra sticks. I love all of his grooves. There's a video on TH-cam with him playing with Sammy Davis Jr.
If you're sure it's really the springs, and not any other moving part, a bit of felt or foam inside them could solve it. If it doesn't, you can always replace the springs for another of your like. It's not so expensive and it could improve the feel. Otherwise, you'll have to identify the moving part making the noise, and lub it. After a few years, my Speed Cobra 910 started making noise as well, and it was actually the springs. I made the felt thing and it worked nicely (foam could also work, but think it would start to fall apart very soon). But I don't know if there's much of a difference between the 910 and the 310 concerning the springs, structure, moving parts, etc.
@@isihernandez9752 there's quite a few differences with the 310 and 910. 310 is a lot more basic. No cobra coil, no quick release spring, basic beater. I'm certain it's my springs making the noise
Every video about these grooves is different... nobody seem to actually know how to do what Steve did...( Seeing it written would have made things much more clear. especially the fast parts. But thanks for giving somewhere to start.. !!!
Mmm... sorry but none of those are quite right. Gadd is a monster. Saw him play a livestream benefit for the Baked Potato here in LA last week. The man is 80 years old still plays his ASS off!

Can Nick do a product review for the 40th
Anniversary Yamaha Steve Gadd Signature snare drum?

I like how you even use his drum/cymbal setup
The 1st groove is so cool yet not complex or showy but so so chill and can fit into so many situations
This is a perefect great great Drum Lesson!
Thank You for this 4 Steve Gadd drum grooves!!

Amazing drum sound, specially the snare

Steve has very natural touch. That makes him dlfferentiated from others.

killing, thank you Nick!!! and the kit sounds great!
Incredible drumming
Amazing as always!

I really like the way this guy teaches
I like that beat! 👍🏼😎
Thanks Nick for another awesome lesson!

😎👍🇺🇸🥁Great job Nick!
Could you do 4/5 Bill Bruford grooves next? These videos are great!
Very good! 😅 🥁 👏👏👏
Fabulous video
This might as well be "top 4 Akira Jimbo grooves" as well. That man worships Gadd
Bought a Tama Speed Cobra 310 double pedal. Both springs are terribly noisy, sqeaky. Recommendations to fix?
Maybe they need a tiny bit of oil or lube? That fixed my pearl pedal when it was squeaking

What are the drum sizes?
nice kick drum
Is there any reason the first groove has to be played open handed?
GREAT!
Good job
very good a fantastic lesson - but you should also put the scores in pdf but give the student the opportunity to understand better
helpful x thanks
Great drumming as always Nick, but on 50 ways he plays the hi hat with the foot on the first downbeat on the kick.
I noticed it too...first hihat beat should be the left foot 'chick'...
Great lesson, thanks a bunch!
PS What are your sticks made of?
They look like the Steve Gadd signature model, so they'll be hickory.
The Mozambique groove is not quite correct. The right hand is correct but the left hand fills in more. He hits one "1" with the left hand.
Every video about these grooves is different... nobody seem to actually know how to do what Steve did...( Seeing it written would have made things much more clear. especially the fast parts. But thanks for giving somewhere to start.. !!!
I'm pretty sure he plays a stutter on 4 in the first measure, not hand to hand. So it would be RR L R L.
I regret being a guitar player. 😶 Make a new plan, Sam...
