All the young up and coming drummers thank your lucky stars that you're able to see and hear these great drummers. Back in 1989 there was no internet or You Tube to see these videos. I can't imagin how much of a better drummer I could have been if I had access to all the greats back then.
There are no shortcuts to mastering the drum set. It takes countless hours (years) of practice to get "good", whether you watch videos of great drummers or not. The hard work is sitting down behind the drum kit and practicing relentlessly, not watching other drummers play.
@@mark52111and one of the most crucial parts to becoming a more proficient instrumentalist is being able to watch and learn from other musicians. The person you responded to never even hinted that it was the only ingredient. Hell, I learned Dream Theater's Images and Words album front to back in the early 90s and was using different, more difficult stickings than Portnoy and never knew it until YEARS later when I finally got to watch one of their tour videos. It's incredibly helpful and informative, especially for kit players.
I was fortunate (I'm keyboardist Jonathan Sorrell) to play with both Steve Gadd and Eddie Gomez on a Philippe Sarde film score in Paris around this time. Consumate professionals, and total gents. Steve Gadd even caught a lift with me from central Paris to Studio Davout, where we recorded with Toots Thielmans and the Orchestre de Paris.
Richard Tee & Cornell Dupree brings the Church. Eddie Gomez can play the funk (but he also played with Bill Evans). Ronnie Cuber brings the snarly R&B. Steve Gadd grooves relentlessly and the entire band just kicks butt.
I got to see Richard Tee, Cornell Dupree and Gadd in a band called Stuff at a club owned by Cissy Houston in 1974. Richard Tee rocked the place. Dupree is as tasteful a guitarist as you will ever come across.
An amazing performance, the whole band is really on it throughout. The highlight for me was not the drum solo but the groove Steve Gadd laid down, quite outstanding!
Subscription puts an end to that… it’s worth being able to see and hear what you want without waiting for ads. Has probably saved me 20+ hours so far - 😎🥁 (by the way)- meant in good faith! Keep groovin’
To me it sounds like they are playing that sick funky hillbilly grove from the seventies that you heard in so many movies of that era. Car chases from the man and if there was every an instrument that had its hayday it was the saxophone in the 80s. It was in everything and at tines the lead instrument. RLTW 3/75
Noticed Steve playing the open hi-hat on-the-offbeat disco groove. I remember back in disco days hearing that Steve was its creator. Cannot verify but it always stuck in my questionable head….?
I loved his drumming on Steely Dan Aja. He is definitely up there with the greats.. Billy Cobham Carl Palmer Neil Peart Bill bruford Vinny c a l l i u t a Simon Phillips Aynsley Dunbar rod morganstein Dave weckl Terry Bozzio😊
As usual Steve's Yamaha kit sounds great as does the ring in item - that snare drum looks to me like it's a Ludwig Acrolite.....Yamaha would not be happy about that.
@2GoodLookin. Couple of points to note from your comment. I played drums for 20 years about 40 years ago and made plenty of money. I was not a great drummer, but there was plenty of work around then There is practically no work available now in Australia Had dinner at a club recently and heard a great band playing in another room. I went in to have a look and there was ONE person on stage singing, strumming a guitar. I walked out in disbelief and disgust. There is no opportunity for young musicians to get work or experience now. RIP live music.
yes not much work for drummers these days except studio session players. so many good drummers make there living with on line teaching. soon THEY WILL BE REPLACED with Robots . the website will be called DRumObot 🙄
These guys are on FIRE! I was lucking enough to see Steve live (only once) and Richard played on a bunch of albums I bought way back in the day, but I've never even heard of Cornell. As soon as he started to play I thought, he sounds like Gatemouth Brown - I love it! You can hear almost every style of guitar, and all at the same time, with a player like Cornell. This is reminiscent of the Apple Juice album which Richard and Steve played on, and has the same energy. For some reason a couple of very old videos have popped up on my feed in the last several days, for anyone that likes this high energy jazzy / bluesy / R&B-ish music, check out this video from the GRP All Star Big Band: Sister Sadie GRP ALL STAR BIG BAND ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6RUHCt3jzyo.html
Stretch your listening out further, and you’ll find Gadd in far more zingy musical circumstances than anything with Steely Dan. Gadd’s work with a wide variety of Fusion Jazz artists, from Chick Corea to Lee Ritenour to Stanley Clarke and more is a treasure trove of drumming tastiness. ❤️👍🏻
His trusty Yamaha Recording Custom plus the legendary Ludwig 5 by 14 inch Supraphonic Snare, arguably one of the most recorded snare drums in music history.
