Peeling an eggplant for that is complete, total and utter sacrilege, but the rest is very much approved.

2:02 is a lesson for the soundguys that think every situation is the same.

Steve never pulls out too far...there are some grooves his bass
drum playing "one note" perfectly placed is as satisfying as
Virgil blasting 200bpm

New user here. As they say on those radio call-in shows: "Long -time listener...first-time caller".

Anyway...the book that Steve Gadd has been working on for the past year is going to be released soon. Here he is talking about it. If I'm correctly interpreting what he's saying, it seems it's going to similar in construction to Buster Bailey's "Wrist Twisters"...except rudimental in scope. Between those two books, one's technique should be "happening"!!
