This is my concept / approach to play a little bit like Steve Gadd ;-)
I am using the book Syncopation by Ted Reed to create 32nd-note grooves on the drumset.
It´s a "Work-In-Progress" video! I will explain the concept to you and I try to play as best as I can, but I am still working on it.......
I hope this lesson will help you!
