Hard To Handle
Steve Gorman is best known as the powerhouse co-founding drummer of the legendary American rock band The Black Crowes. Anchoring their signature sound across iconic tracks like "Remedy," "Hard to Handle," and "Twice as Hard," Gorman built a reputation as one of modern rock's most dependable pocket players. His roots in classic soul, Southern rock, and vintage blues give his parts a timeless feel that every rhythm player should study. Learning his classic studio and live tracks is an essential milestone if you want to improve your drum skills and lock into a rhythm section. Taking on a Gorman-era drum cover forces you to focus on the subtleties of timing and feel, which is the most reliable way to play better on drums.
Steve Gorman’s style centers on deep, laid-back pocket, authoritative dynamic control, and an undeniable blues-rock swing. Heavily influenced by the likes of John Bonham and classic Stax rhythm sections, he prioritizes musical momentum over unnecessary technical complexity. His heavy, centered snare backbeat and expressive hi-hat articulations give rock songs breathing room while keeping the groove undeniably heavy. If your goal is to play better on drums, studying his selective use of fills teaches you how to serve the song without cluttering the mix. Nailing a Steve Gorman drum cover requires dialling in consistent rimshots, smooth ghost notes, and genuine behind-the-beat phrasing. Working through his signature grooves will immediately improve your drum skills by shifting your focus toward dynamic balance and rock-solid timing.
