"HD-DVD, the Look and Sound of Perfect." The DVD captures the incredibly successful player on location at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City during the record breaking 2006 "Message from Gadd" tour. The 95-minute session offers a Q&A session with the modern drumming icon. He discusses many of the signature drum tracks he created with many artists. One highlight is a self-accompanied brush solo on Bye, Bye Blackbird. Additional topics include applying rudiments to the drumset and playing to a click-track, odd-times, shuffles and solos in a musical context. Bonus footage includes a 20-minute Steve Gadd documentary plus a Steve Gadd/Giovanni Hidalgo duet from 1997 Modern Drummer Festival.
 Editor's Note
 Steve Gadd's master class, held at the Manhattan School of Music, includes question and answer segments, as well as information on the drum set, time signatures, solos, shuffles, and more.
