Steve Gadd – Linear Drum Beat
This is a Steve Gadd style linear rhythm with some 32nd note double chucked in there for an extra challenge! I found this a real tricky beat to get the hang of and I am still learning it to this day. The key to getting this one sounding half decent is to concentrate on getting the dynamics of the snare drum down. You have to be quite delicate with the ghost notes or the groove wont sound quite right. Once you are confortable with the pattern, try moving the right hand around the toms for slight variations too.

Adding an Afro-Cuban feel to your playing using the Mozambique cowbell pattern.
The Mozambique is a rhythm which comes from Cuba. Steve Gadd plays a well known adaptation of this rhythm on the drum kit. It is a great technique to use in drum solos and any styles which require a Latin feel.
