Steve Gadd
My first professional quality drumset was also a black, Yamaha Recording Custom drumset. They are really great drums, six-ply steam-bent birch wood shells with a nine coat, hand rubbed, piano lacquer finish and high tension lugs. They quickly became and remain today the industry standard of professional recording quality drums. Naturally you would think that these statistical details would be an important part of my decision to purchase such a fine musical instrument. But they were not, the fact is Steve Gadd played a black, Yamaha Recording Custom drumset, so I bought a black, Yamaha Recording Custom drumset!
In 1980-82 I went to a lot of shows by a Bay Area band called Merlin. Their drummer, Mark Mathias, was fabulous! His own drumming was an inspiration, and he introduced me to the musical drumming of Steve Gadd. It was the Chick Corea album The Leprechaun and I was absolutely blown away by the fast, intricate, precise and musical drumming. Within a few weeks I had purchased dozens of albums that Steve Gadd played on and like many others, I spent many, many hours learning to play like Gadd.
Steve Gadd was born in Rochester, New York, April 9, 1945. At 7 years old he started taking drum lessons, and by age 11 he performed with Dizzy Gillespie.
Steve studied music at Eastman College, Rochester, playing with the wind ensemble and concert bands. Nights saw him playing the local clubs with Chick Corea, Chuck Mangione, Joe Romano and Frank Pullara.
In 1972, he formed a trio with Tony Levin and Mike Holmes, and headed for New York. The trio wasn’t successful, but Gadd began working extensively as a session player. Through the 1970's and 1980's, he toured internationally, recorded with practically EVERYONE!
By the end of the 70's Steve Gadd was the most in-demand and probably the most imitated drummer in the world. In Japan transcriptions of his solos were on sale, and all the leading Japanese drummers were sounding like him. Chick Corea commented, "Every drummer wants to play like Gadd because he plays perfect . . . He has brought orchestral and compositional thinking to the drum kit while at the same time having a great imagination and a great ability to swing."
I remember being blown away by the Steve Gadd's drumming on Paul Simon's song "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover." It was one of the first drum beats that I literally spent hours listening and trying to learn. As a young, inexperienced drummer, the left hand hi-hat pattern had me feeling like I had no clue how to play the drums at all. Eventually, I struggled my way into playing it reasonably well and it definately inspired a wider range of creative options in my own playing.
Here is a transcription of the main drum beat from the verse of the song:
After watching a video of Steve playing the lick I learned that the transcription is not quite right. It does sound good playing the hi-hat notes of the main pattern as a double stroke on the hi-hat with the left hand. But the video clearly shows that Steve is playing this with left foot-left hand - not a double strock stick to the hi-hat.
Play the following pattern with (L) being left foot on the hi-hat:
Here is the video of Steve Gadd demonstrating:
