Steve Smith plays Reversed Flam Tap Variations on a 1930 Leedy Kit

Three versions of Reversed Flam Tap Variations (Page 8) from Steve Gadd’s Hudson Music Book GADDIMENTS. PART ONE: Triplets on the BD pedal, swing interpretation with the hands. PART TWO: Shuffle on the BD pedal, swing interpretation with the hands. PART THREE: Samba on the BD pedal, even 8th’s with the hands. Playing this vintage kit required an extremely light touch on the BD pedal, Hi-Hat pedal, calf heads and cymbals.
