One of my favorite drummers of all time. Grace, finesse, chops and most of all - GROOVE. That's Gadd.

Very well done. I have to ask, when you do the lick at speed, it seems like there is more left hand going on than your explanation of FLLR RLLF RLLR RLLF. Am I correct on this, or just out to lunch? You do it so fast there is no way I can count it! You also do it VERY clean! Thanks!

Yeah I remember Veneman's. Bought an amp there and it melted itself within a week and they wouldn't give us back our money.
