Re-listening -- you are right. Where Gadd goes off, the rest of the crew is usually honking out one chord. Everything else is complicated, so if the drums are complicated it's gonna be too busy.

If you play drums for Steely Dan, you have to master the ping tang ting of gently touching cymbals.

Holy crap, I keep getting distracted by Becker's amazing bass parts.
