Steve Gadd recently toured Europe with his successful 'Mission From Gadd'. The first couple of clinics, however, were cancelled due to the vulcanic ash cloud above Iceland. Now that Steve Gadd returns to finish the tour Adams saw an opportunity to get the legendary drummer for their Drumfestival on September 12th.
Drumaffairs is a combined effort from the legendary drummer Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Jeff Beck, etc.), Mike Schäperclaus (Paul de Leeuw, Amsterdam Percussion Group) and Josep Vicent (APG). With their powerful sound they explore the possibilities of percussion. Sometimes extrovert and explosief. Sometimes soft, melodic and minimalistic but always fascinating for the audience.
