Re: Steve Gadd fill in "I Gotta Try"
Slinglander, I too made this assumption based on what I heard through average speakers. However when I played the fill as a flam it just didn't feel or sound like I wanted it to. It worked but there was just something off. Then I asked other drummers and a teacher about it and for it to be written out and it was 16ths. After playing it like that it just flowed and sounded and felt good. It also helped that I have listened to this song (album) many times on much better speakers and equipment and the way Tom describes it is the way it sounds on a good system.
