Nice one! I realized that working on a lot of Gadd stuff recently has payed off: I could sight read through that whole thing along with Steve without really loosing it. Well.... maybe skipping a note or two.... even in the fills. I think my reading is better than I thought, hehe.

I really enjoy your stuff, great that you're here and posting. Now how about actually writing some more words - I'm sure plenty of guys would enjoy that as well!
 
Korompay,
Thanks alot for that transcription!! I tried to transcribe it awhile back but didn't get too far. The problem for me is, I can read it and play it, but have real trouble transcribing it sometimes. Thanks again!!! Keep the Gadd transcriptions coming ;)
 
Thanks for that great transcription. Looks pretty darn good. I've always wanted it written out but I just don't have the skill or patience. Looks like you have both. Thanks again!!
 
Hey man, thank you so much for these, they are fantastic. Most people don't have the patience for this stuff, so thank you so much. You've given me tons to do.
 
I don't have notation software but here is a cool Vinnie Colaiuta lick that's played around 3:32 in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO5lfO2EXU8 . It presents a cool concept - being able to change up the time feel through displacement, rhythmic surprise, and accents.

it's simply:
sssb sSsb sSsb flam. S means accent, s is a ghost note. these are sixteenth notes.

if you haven't seen the vid, don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity here. the lick flies and over the triplet feel you aren't expecting it AT ALL, especially with the displaced accents that make it feel as if the beat jumped a couple BPMs. i personally think it's a really intelligent fill, as it really sets up the shout section with it's bombastic feel and the way it makes it seem as if the tempo picked up.
 
This guy is quite awesome, and one of the best drummer websites i've seen. Great to know there are UK drummers out there giving the Americans a run for their money. Shows me how far i've got to go too. Thanks for the discovery korompay.

Much better lessons than an unnamed drummer from the New York area who doen't have a headset.
 
Anyone have a transcription of Rick Marotta doing "Peg"?
