Some quotes from so called drum enthusiasts

These are from another message board. I rounded up some of the best quotes in a thread about steve gadd. Lol, the kids today..

Quote:

---

I know several different drummers with more feel than Steve.
I just don't know where people started thinking this about him.

Quote:

Steve gadd is a great drummer but he's not as fun to watch as other drummers like Virgil,weckl,portnoy,chambers etc..Plus i hate the facial expressions he does sometimes.They really annoy me personally.

---

Quote:

---

he looks kinda stiff when he plays which i'm not too keen on...And he tends to repeat a lot of fills.

---

Quote:

---

If you look at drummers like John Bonham you will see that he is by far the most technical drummer ever

---

Quote:

I don't like Gadd's style of drumming at all. Feels very unmusical to me. However, that's just my opinion, and its obvious that he's very skilled, I just don't feel skill is the most important thing on a drumkit.

Quote:

---

i have a lot against Steve Gadd. He sucks man.. all his beats and fills are boring as shit. Horrible, I don't like his playing.

---

Quote:

---

If I played guitar like Gadd plays drums, I'd sound rather confused and pretentious. I just don't like the way he accents, its all over the place. Good for the drummers of the world, less good for everyone else.

Quote:

---

While players like Jeff Porcaro, Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dom Famularo and so on are awesome players the records they make I find are totaly utter crap!
Seriously, toto were like the worst group ever!

Why did you feel the need to share such utter and obvious rubbish with us? There will always be people with opinions we don't agree with as well as people who are 'slightly' or grossly uninformed. Opinions and reality will often collide.

yes, funny the young kids.
thanks. It's interesting for me, to read.

are they just UNINFORMED and is this just RUBBISH ?
I don't agree at all.
it's THEIR oppinion.
It depends to the kind of view, what you think about Steve Gadd.
Do you think, I loved steve gadd during the times, I heard PUNK music ?

I guess they don't know Gadd was The inspiratory of Weckl and in my opinion Gadd still have Lot more feeling then Weckl ( even if i Love Weckl )

And who care what those guys think about Gadd ? [img]eek.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's a light hearted thread about what a bunch of kids 'elsewhere from here' think about gadd. Yes, I think their comments are ignorant, and I also think,( and sorry to say this ), that if you don't like the thread, perhaps just dont post in it.

It was even funnier when the one guy said that the drummer from Limp Bizkit has better feel.
