This marks the debut of a new video series: 5 Killer Gadd Licks.
The first of the five is something I call “The Three Beat Triplet Flow.” It comes from an Elvin-ish jazz phrase that I’ve heard Gadd play. He applies the idea to funk in his playing and that is the focus of this online drum lesson.
First off, have a look at the PDF, which I will be referring to and explaining in the video.
Here it is: 5 Killer Gadd Licks One
Now, have a look at the video, which will walk you through all the examples on the PDF.
