Drummer Talk Archives – Pearl Reference Drums/Steve Gadd Clinic
October 10, 2008 in Artists, Gear, Podcast by Dave Kropf
This show originally was originally posted August 25, 2005. What’s hysterical is how from the very beginning I was trying to get these guys to lean closer to the mics. Anyway, it’s cool to see how much the show has changed, but also how much it’s remained completely the same …

Our first studio show of Dave Kropf’s Drummer Talk. Features Dave, Shane Flynn, Wes Melton, Ian McClellan, and DJ Kirk engineering. We talk about Pearl’s Reference Series drums, Steve Gadd’s clinic tour, and getting into the music scene. Plus, beat up Pink Floyd Shirts.
Correction: On today’s show, I said that Chester Thompson played Pearl. This is incorrect, Chester Thompson is a DW endorser. My apologies.

Today we cover one of the pillars of drum grooves, and one of my personal favorites - "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" from Paul Simon's album, Still Crazy After All These Years. You can't throw a rock into a room full of drummers and not hit one who has not at least heard of this groove. Not only is the "50 Ways" groove smooth, and laid back, but it's deceptively simple. Mr. Gadd ...

READ MORESteve Gadd: In Session should win some kind of prize for honesty and plainspokenness in the category of drum instructional videos over thirty years in age, because that's all you get with In Session. Steve Gadd giving session advice from in session interviews and just straight up doing session work. That's it. That's not a bad thing, but if you were expecting something that isn't "Steve Gadd giving session advice from in session interviews and ...
READ MOREBack when the Pearl Reference (cue the accordian) kit was released, we on Drummer Talk surmised that it was not a viable option for the gigging/touring drummer solely because of the sheer weight of the drums and hardware. Well... three and a half years later, Pearl has put it's money where it's mouth is and proved us wrong. Kinda... Check out how after the jump.

READ MORESadly, the good people at TRAPS Magazine have decided to cease production of the magazine. The parent publication, DRUM!, will continue, but it looks like the TRAPS experiment can't weather a tough economy. This is a shame. TRAPS was a fine publication that really set the bar for in-depth drumming/music journalism. We've given TRAPS the love on the show before and we will miss them.

READ MORESteve Gadd is probably the most well respected drummer alive today, so it makes sense that he'd be chosen to star in Hudson Music's new Master Series DVDs. The new Master Series, um, series... is pretty much just a recording of a drummer doing a clinic, master class, showcase concert, meet n' greet, panel, Q&A session and whatever other title they may give these types of events. Maybe it was born out of a desire ...
