Steve Gadd's solo

[underaged]

Hi, i'm trying to figure out the part of steve gadd's solo. I can identify the flams and the doubles, but i cant seem to identify the pattern in which he plays. Or rather where the 1 is.

Could anyone help me with this?

Hmmmmmm, looks like you will have to ask Steve Gadd personally.......

That is the infamous Crazy Army groove by Steve Gadd. The transcriptions can be found easily over the web and the stickings known. Many drummers know how to play that groove and the stickings BUT no one can play it and sound like Gadd....

I found this transcription. parts of it i dun exactly agree with but its good nontheless.
eg: the first 16th on beat 2 on bar 4 shd be a rest.
the first 16th on bar 6 shd be a rest.
first 16th on bar 14 shd be a rest.

Of course the above is my opinion. u can play it whichever way you like. Its based on a Traditional Snare drum solo called Crazy Army. Gadd monster is playing his variation of it.
