This is still one of the best drum showdowns. As much as I love Buddy Rich and as much as I love the younger, "athletic drummers" that come up with insane stuff, THIS right here is still the best one for me.

My favorite comment from the old video upload: "Three great drummers of course, but Steve Gadd really hits this one out of the park! He may not fire as many rounds per second as Vinnie or Weckl, but the depth of the pocket, the groove, the power, the sound, the ferociousness, the clarity. While Weckl and Colaiuta are aiming for the stars, Gadd is digging deep to the center of the earth!" - KZbin user Sean McMorris

Ha! I remember that comment too ! Sean knocked it out of the park in the comments section. Watching this for the I don’t know how many times I’m struck with this. I’ll preface that Dave and Vinny are all time gods of drums however in agreement with the quoted comment there is something about Steve’s playing that I think had Vinny and Dave possibly panic a little bit? Like “oh shit how am I going to surpass what Steve laid down?” It’s almost like they were trying to shoot their entire load and to me Steve came across as the most confident drummer this round.
@2earache2 ай бұрын
@@ER-me1iiW and C were most definitely ‘shooting their technique load’ with headache-grabbing emphasis on single, double, five and all other stroke rolls hoping, like mud thrown at a wall, that they’ll stick!! Gadd, on the other hand, defeats the duo with his stress and accentuation on the ‘musicality’ of his approach! The winner takes all of course. But remembering that both Weckl and Colaiuta too have become significant contributors to the world of professional drummers to this point in time!

I'm not a drummer, but I most definitely admire and prefer the guy with glasses and mullet on the farthest right side. (What's his name?) He has the best syncopation and the drum fills is simply mesmerizing, He's also the most technical of the three. You can also hear the "Ooohs and Ahhh" from the crowd after every time he finished his dazzling routine combo. What a drummer he is.🔥

For me this is really powerful exhibition of the trad grip in action- wow! I have no fave here- all amazing and musical.😊😊

Zildjian and Yamaha were the D.W and Meinl of the day!😅 I think Gadd never changed endorsements, while Vinnie went on to Gretsch and Ludwig and back to Gretsch. Weckl into Sabian from Zildjian (closely related companies)But Steve stayed with Zildjian and Yamaha. I always find endorsements interesting, because, yes there is business involved, but the player needs to love his drums. They all have similar configurations (2 up, 2 down, 22 inch kicks) but heads and their identity shows how beautiful each player truly is. One of my favorite drum recordings on KZbin!
