Sure, Steve Gadd has a distinct feel, but if you place a very proficient drummer (like Dave Weckl or Benny Greb) on Gadd's exact drum-kit and ask them to play a Gadd lick as much like Gadd as possible, do you think you'd be able to tell which one was the real Gadd if blindfolded?
I don't think I'd be able to.
Good drummers can surely play 'all the feels' depending on whatever the situation calls for rather than having a feel of their own?
