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 Latin tunes 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!
