I had the honour of meeting one of the greatest drummers of our time - Dr. Steve Gadd.
Here I have the pleasure of chatting with him after an incredible "Steve Gadd Band" performance at Ronnie Scott's, London on October 5th 2016.
In this Drum Quest Musical Musings exclusive interview, Steve shares some of his drumming thoughts and memories with me, and of course, answers the Drum Quest question; "what makes a good drummer?"
It was privilege to chat with such a legend, and hear his words of wisdom and kind advice.
Also, great to be joined by drummer Ian Thomas partway through.
Thanks for watching!

Wow! What a great interview, what a legend Steve Gadd, he's up there with Jim Keltner, Jeff Porcaro Rip, Caliouta, Jim Gordon Rip, that list just goes on from that generation. Absolute legend and master of the craft, and obviously a cracking guy to boot!

Ahhh yes.....playing for well over 40 years.......my biggest influences are studio musicians....and the first drummer......to open my eyes......was Steve Gadd.......and going to many clinics over the years.....I got to meet Steve ...in 2005.....and it was something I will always treasure......forever.....

Thanks for sharing this conversation. I first saw Steve Gadd in a clinic situation around 1987. Saw him on the "Rhythm Of the Saints Tour" with Paul Simon, 3 percussionist, Michael Brecker (rip) and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, as well as on his "mission from Gadd" tour in 2005. The reason Steve is so admired and justly so, is shown on this video. His demeanor and kindness, his generosity, his calm encouragement. Steve isn't just one of the greatest drummers of his generation, he's a GREAT person and a living example of how you can be successful and sincere. Steve was the first to teach me "it's not a destination, it's a journey." Best wishes on your drumming/musical journey Laura.

I LOVE that you give him the title he rightfully deserves - Dr. Especially with being credited an honorary degree from Berkeley. Gadd is my Hero, he is my drum god I would have built shrine for him if it wasn't against my religion, ha! What an honor to meet the man himself!

Ben GaddFan1 ah thanks so much for watching Ben! Totally agree with you about Steve Gadd . Thanks for the good luck - it’s appreciated 😁

@BenGaddFan1 4 года назад

You're welcome.When I met him at Ronnie Scott's I wrote him a card expressing my admiration and adulation of him - since I was 12 or so when my drum teacher introduced me to him via the Leprechaun album.Do you know that one ? By Chick Corea ? There's a great solo by him on an album called Me, Myself An Eye by Charles Mingus - on a track called Three Worlds Of Drums - with two other drummers.Also an album called In The Beginning by Hubert Laws is amazing too ! Are you a Weather Report fan ?

@lauradannanmusic 4 года назад

Ben GaddFan1 I don’t know that one but I’ll check it out! Thanks Ben 😃
