Gaddiments by Steve Gadd

Gaddiments - Steve Gadd

In his first drum book, Steve Gadd shares a collection of rudimental exercises drawn from his drum corps background and passion for rudiments. Each etude builds on classic or modern rudiments or Gadd’s unique variations, with displaced phrases starting on different subdivisions to craft complex, engaging patterns. The solos emphasize phrasing, highlighting its role in musicianship. Meticulously hand-engraved and designed by Gadd for readability, the spiral-bound book lays flat for ease of use. Accompanying videos feature Gadd demonstrating the exercises using his trademark method. This essential work enhances technical skill, groove, phrasing, and rhythmic vocabulary across drum styles.
