“Feel” can seem like a vague, arbitrary musical term.

Gadd’s unmistakable playing defines it. This isn’t a super complicated drum part, but to make it sound and “feel” the way Steve Gadd can… It’s beyond difficult.

If you’re a seasoned player - this record is a hidden Gadd gem!

If you’re a newer player - listen to the albums Steve Gadd played on. His playing is so unique and unbelievably creative, he is easily one of the best to ever do it. Countless artists used him, and some of the most iconic drum tracks ever came from him.
