Re: So, what is it with Steve Gadd
And yet so inter-related.....and thing about Vinnie is that he really knows the context he's in...take the Tom Scott CD "Flashpoint" - Get a Grip is a smoking fusion 3/4 tune and the rest of the disc is fairly straight ahead 2 & 4. And this can be said of Gadd as well....just because you have the chops doesn't mean you play a drum solo everytime you sit down to play a song!

And that's why I think the whole "feel/technique" battle is so silly. They are two totally different things.
