Steve Gadd - Gaddiments Drum Book with Online Video
In this, the first drum book he has written, music legend Steve Gadd presents a series of rudimental passages inspired by his time in drum corps and love of the rudiments. Each exercise is based on a classic or contemporary rudiment. It's then displaced by starting on different subdivisions of the beat. This creates new rhythms without changing the sticking. All of the solos are written in a way that reinforce the understanding and importance of phrasing.
Includes 36 themes/concepts and 85 individual exercises, each with an accompanying video demonstration.
The book has been painstakingly hand-engraved at Steve's request, to bring a comfortable and classic look to the pages. The layout and detail of each page was designed by Gadd specifically to make it clear and easy to read. These features are reflective of a man who has read thousands of charts and played on some of the most important recordings of our time.
Accompanying the book is a full set of videos with Steve demonstrating each exercise.
Drum set, drum corps, classical drummers and drum teachers will be inspired. This book will improve your technique, phrasing, groove, and rhythmic vocabulary.
Welcome to Gaddiments.
"What an eye-opening, educational, challenging and fun treatment of standard and contemporary rudiments and how he has used them in his own playing, whether it be ‘Crazy Army’ or the beautifully-executed five-stroke rolls in ‘Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover’ or the Afro-Latin grooves in ‘Graceland’ or the amazing solo in Steely Dan’s ‘Aja.’ Steve is THE MASTER! His creative use of flam rudiments, ratamacues, six-stroke rolls and paradiddle-diddles as sextuplets is legendary. Gaddiments is a masterpiece and must be included in every drummer’s library as well as in every high school or college band, drum corps, indoor drumline or individual hobbyist."
Dennis DeLucia (DCI, WGI and PAS Halls of Fame)
"Steve Gadd's Gaddiments is an instant classic from my perspective. Steve has written well-conceived and useful sticking combinations that are challenging, sound good and feel great to play. Because the book was written by Steve Gadd, whose background and approach includes rudimental stickings steeped in many years of musical experience, the examples have symmetry, motivic development, a logical flow and a natural feel. If you take your time with the material, start slow, and play the examples with smooth motions, you can improve your technique, vocabulary and musicianship. Plus, the notation is easy to read, and the "big band chart" look is hip". Steve Smith (Journey, Vital Information)
