Dang it! I can't tell you how many times I've heard this complaint in the 40 years I've been asked to play this song.50 Ways to leave to leave your lover is very close to being correct - but you're missing the coolest part which is the hats being a linear hat note with the foot / then hat hand / then hand on snare rather than two hits on the hats with your right hand (Gadd's left).

Hmm. It probably isn’t any specific rudiment, just drilling snare drum technique for years. I marched drum corps in my teens and we would just drill exercises for hours as a group. When I left that activity (I taught HS drumline too) I adoptedBo, your R hand looks so easy going on "Fool" any tips? A rudiment that fits or mentality for it. I know you have been doing this for a long time and that's a big part of it, but i thought i'd ask.
I really wish there was some silver bullet, but as Ed Shaughnessy told me once in a lesson; “you gotta put in the time!” It sucks ?Well, ok then. Whatever it takes. At least i have got some time in it already, on my way.
Don’t make me blush!Your toms sound better than the zepp recordings lol.
Well, I get that too. One day I’ll get all this stuff sorted out ?No way Bo, I'm loving the time, just eager for others to love it too
