Up Close & In Session by Steve Gadd
is a new, revised
and updated version of material
from the classic DCI music videos
that put video drum education
on the map. Prepared under
Steve’s supervision,
this new book combines
all of the footage
from the classic tapes
with an expanded
book documenting Steve’s
influential approach to the drums.
The original Up Close
was the first authorized book
from Steve Gadd. Featured
are detailed transcriptions of
the material that Steve performs
on the video.

Up Close focuses
on three main topics:
drum corps/rudiments, including
a rudimental solo and how to apply
rudiments to the drum set; jazz/R&B,
featuring a shuffle and five-page
solo transcription; time/studio playing,
demonstrating how to build a track
in the studio (including fills), chart
reading, samba and Latin grooves,
as well as transcriptions of

“Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover”
and “Late in the Evening,”
by Paul Simon.

In Session features Steve
playing in a recording studio with two
different rhythm sections, playing
different styles of music. Accompanied by
Richard Tee (piano) and Will Lee (bass),
then by Eddie Gomez (upright bass),
and Jorge Dalto (piano), Steve plays
different approaches to R&B, reggae,
shuffles, funk, samba, bebop,
and Latintunes to show how
he crafts his parts. These performances

are documented in note-for-note
new transcriptions from
Terry Branam.

Included are video and audio files
that match the transcriptions in the book.
There is also a bonus transcription and
video of Steve’s performance at
Zildjian Day 1984. The original
Up Close and In Session
full videos are available separately
from Hudson Music.

*HUDSON is offering a very limited supply
of signed books if you act now!
