I have been working on it lately but I don't have a scanner or something to give it to you.How would you rate the difficulty of this solo (10 maximum) for a 5 years drummer? I don't say it is difficult but is it TOO easy for a drummer that plays for about five years (I mean I am a looser if I play it now?).

[Carn]

you are a loser if you think about it like that.

[metallas]

I say that carn because I so busy with school that i don't have time for drumming.There was a period that I did't have a kit actually.(I was practising on pillows).there are people that play for 5 years that play 100 times better that me

[Carn]

even if you have been playing for 20 years it will still be a good solo to learn, its pretty hard to get the same feel out of it like Gadd does.

[metallas]

well ok.I have to go now.after school private maths lesson

Too easy for somebody who's played 5 years? The first "traces" of Crazy Army i've heard were when Steve Gadd played 'Silly Putty' with Stanley Clarke in the mid-80's. He'd been playing for a liiiittle more than 5 years. (he might have played it earlier but I don't know all of his stuff).

Then he played it in what, 1991? At the B Rich memorial concert...it's all about how you play it. And there's nothing that says have gotta stick to the music.

I wouldn't say this would be easy for a drummer wich has been playing for 5 years. If you play metalish stuff then you wont be able to play this is you don't practice stuff like that

[PlayBoyHendo]

I played this for my audition to college. Learned it in high school, so I'd only really been playing 5 years, and not even taken it seriously for alot of that time. The rolls are a bit tricky to play at speed, and ittook me a while to 'get' the feel of it, but it's killer once you can nail it.

Nice link PlayBoyHendo... cool solo, like carn said, one everyone should learn.

[metallas]

I already play it.I didn't ask if it's easy to practice

[Josiah]

Shut up you billy goat.

Billy. Gotta be a billy goat.

EDIT: Nice one :cool:

[Carn]

I practiced a different version; the one from Steve Gadd's "Up Close" book, it was called "Variations on Crazy Army" and was a bit more roll-centered from F onwards...I`ll try to dig it up and record it

[Panopticon]

is there any chance of putting up a link to audio? i can't find it on limewire...

[Jezen]

Theres a video of it on Drummerworld.

[Carn]

I prefer the beginning in this vid:

the whole "thing"..but Gadd hardly plays it the same after the beginning so I hope you get an idea of it in general. Sucky soundmix:
