    Much respect to Paul for the Steve Gadd shout out. One of the top beats of all time.

      Exactly...and of course Howard's not aware of him up until that shout out..Steve Gadd IS New York.! Ya can't miss him if you were a fan of music in the 70's..

      i love paul but i don't respect it - gadd has no writing credit on the song so he doesn't get royalties on "one of the most sampled drum parts"

    50 Ways is one of the best songs ever written. So unique, so smart. Somehow it seems so obvious, but if you gave me 50 million years, I couldn't have written it. Unlike almost all people called "musical genius", Paul is the real deal.

    It's my favourite groove of all time. Written and performed by my favourite drummer of all time. I'd recommend all drummers learn it. It unlocks a whole bunch of cool ideas.

  • @chazinko
    @chazinko ปีที่แล้ว +18

    When the musician (in this case drummer) adds something to a song (someone else wrote) that becomes an iconic part of how that song is heard and experienced by the public. This is a good example.

  • @briandeschene8424

    You have to hand it to Stern and his crew. I’ve listened to several shorts from this interview and the number of samples they had at-the-ready to “illustrate” the part of a song Paul Simon was speaking about was impressive. Especially being able to find that specific sample and play it when needed.

    • @777jones
      @777jones ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Stern also has very, very good sound technicians and mixes for musical performances. It must be a steady, well paying job in that field.

      Recall reading of the rivalry in the classical guitar world and flamenco between those that used finger nails versus fingertips. Sharp against a softer sound.

    • @andyscott5277
      @andyscott5277 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s a tough one. Lyrically I’d give it to Dylan, but musically to Simon. McCartney inches ahead musically, but would put Simon ahead lyrically. Hard call on all, though, these are the greats.
