That's excellent! Steve Gadd is one of my favorite drummers. The first time I saw him was in the early '70s in Atlanta at the Music Educators National Conference (MENC). He was the featured drummer with the Eastman Studio Orchestra under the direction of Chuck Mangione. The last time I saw him live was about 7-8 years ago when he was doing a clinic here in the area (I think for Yamaha - not sure anymore).If you haven't already got it, you should check out Eric Clapton's "One More Car, One More Rider" DVD from 2001/2002. Very well-recorded, too. Steve Gadd was the drummer. Just awesome. There were parts of some tunes where he absolutely wailed on his drums! He was like a wild man. And then, he'd pull out the brushes and do the most laid back soft playing during "Over The Rainbow".
Another fave drummer is my acquaintance Stockton Helbing. Really nice guy. He lives here in the Dallas area, and was Maynard Ferguson's drummer and music director. More recently, he's played with Doc Severinsen's big band. He also has a few CDs of his own small jazz group. Check him out.
Ok, that's all I've got.
