I totally agree that the sound mainly comes from the musician - did you see Stuff "Live in Montreux"? Gadd is playing what looks like a stock Ludwig kit, with "Silver dots" on all toms AND the snare drum (!) The sizes are not his standard choices either. Anyway, I seriously doubt that I would notice this if I'd only heard the audio recording. Here's a sample:

I dunno.
That kit makes him sound more like Bonham!

No.  Grin

Note the toilet roll on the toms by the way - my preferred method of damping.

I've got to say outstanding drumming in all departments!!!
The man is quite simply one of the all time best, even though many of the projects he's worked on don't float my boat.

Yes, I'm definitely going to purchase that DVD. Personally, I love Stuff! Marvellous rhythm-section (and the solos are ok too Wink)

I'd have to hear it on some better speaks.  He still always sounds like him tho'

But yeah, he's so brilliant at such a young age there as well.  That's what is a reality check for me.  Back in the 80's I'm trying to cop Steve Gadd licks (not much better playing them now) and here I am 40 something basically burned out and washed up with a day job.  He just keeps getting more venerated, never had a day job in his life I bet.

He got handed a Quadruple portion of talent.  Not that I like his playing very much though  Roll Eyes  Grin
