Saw Steve playing in Stockholm at the weekend with his band playing songs from his new album '70 Strong'. First time I have seen him live. They had a great sound and Steve certainly doesn't seem to...

Re: Carlos Vega
I'd recommend Don Grusins 'Banana Fish' for some really nice Carlos sounds. Worth listening to just for his kit sound.

Stevie Nicks track
Hi,
I wondered if anyone knows who played drums on the track 'Violet and Blue'. I think it was only released as a single on a soundtrack so hard to find any info on players. It sounds like it...

Re: Jeff Porcaro fans, check this out!!!
Yeah it's a great groove. He did it after Rosanna. I actually prefer it too- sounds more fluid and is nicer to play IMO. However not a fan off the included synth bass and 80's electric toms which...

Re: The legendary Steve Gadd.
sorry if someone has already mentioned it but I just heard "Ludwig" by Bob James (from "Foxy") and it is probably the most technical I have heard Gadd. Absolutely awsome sight playing... Check it out.

Re: How to make a track taste good
For an example of taste I would nominate the track 'Confide In Me' from 'The Offbeat Of Avenues' by manhattan transfer. Mr J Porcaro's playing really ticks all the boxes discribed by BassDriver:...

Re: The legendary Steve Gadd.
A really good track I heard with Gadd on recently is "Distracted" by Al Jarreau on his album "This Time". Classic Gadd snare patterns and fills. When you hear it, it can be no one else playing.
