Anyone who can't feel the groove or respect it isn't a real drummer, I'm 50 now and just played drums as a hobby, never was serious about it never had any formal training either, Never got really fast or anywhere near the talent in so many drummers alive and passed. I played everything from southern Gospel to Slayer and Pantera etc. At the time I never disrespected the drummers from the music genres. Somehow during this time I acquired a funk, didn't even know I had it really it was just me and how I felt the music. I was told by one of my peers that the reason they kept me in their band even tho others were wanting to be in the band and they were far better drummers than me, they told me no one has a funk like you man. They just loved it. I didn't feel it was anything special but others better than me did, so yes Groove and funk is very important in drums. I'm actually just getting acquainted with Mr Gadd. I love his grooves.

Steve Gadd based his groove on the Mozambique in the hit Paul Simon song "Late In The Evening." Without his drumming in that song, I don't think it would be known as a "legendary" song. The other Gadd groove I was referring to is "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover," also by Paul Simon.
