Loved the bassist but I feel Dave’s and his style doesn’t quite match. They obviously nailed it but during Dave’s solo I feel the difference in their styles was apparent, IMO
Dave is an artist and his drum sticks are his brushes. He’s not even thinking about his limbs, he’s playing on pure feeling. Such an ease and effortlessness here.
He always has the best sounding kits! Easily my favorite drummer. His pocket and feel is so incredible. Dude blows my mind every time. Big props to that bass player too for holding that pocket down!
I went to a Chick Corea video to watch Frank Gambale cause I'm into guitarists and Dave was playing. This MF single handedly turned me into a fan of percussion and I can't get enough of this man. Damnit I may have chosen th e wrong instrument 😂
This is so off the damn hook. Absolute monsters. Dave is so fluid and musical. His dynamics are off the charts. His time is spot on. What more could you ask for?
What a GREAT right hand 16th notes groove on hi-hats. He doesn’t miss a stroke. Not so easy to play this with that speed. It is around 90 with a timer. He is so relaxed. Playing this groove is like drinking water for him. He is the best👌👌👌👌
Dave's supernatural command of time and coupling it with something akin to silky stylistic phrasings that are incomprehensible to mere mortal drummers is astonishing. Sometimes all you can do is say "Wow".
I admire how this man tends to not only do fantastic tight solos effortlessly but also keeps grooving while doing so. Not getting carried away too much and keeping the song alive, awesome, love him.
Weckl never does anything on a drumkit just to show off what tricks he can do. Everything, including soloing, that he does is in service to the song. One of the best out there.
Dave gives off a persona that he'd be a master of any career choice he would have made. He's truly a gifted but serious artist. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us!!!
This is the context where you can appreciate great players like Mr. Weckl. No amount of chops in the world can demonstrate how good you are if can't interact smoothly with other musicians. Hats off to all musicians on the video. Keep music live!
This man is on top of the drumming world since the 80's, always fresh, always improvin'... always such a pleasure listenin' to that magical touch. 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
My late friend and drummer, Tom Parisi, used to live in an apartment next door to Dave in New Rochelle NY. We used to listen to Dave practice through the walls ;-). He was amazing then but not yet famous. Not long after that I got a chance to jam with Dave at the Crazy Horse Cafe in New Rochelle. Not long after that he was playing with Chick Corea. The rest is history. Congrats on a remarkable career.
We are so lucky to live in a time when the recording quality is where it is ever preserving super jambs like this where all members just smoke from start to finish of course Dave's performance is just riveting and continues to evolve ...how lucky we all are to enjoy this stuff so easily now!!!
Just woke up and caught this vid!! My day couldn’t have started out more perfectly as this groove and overall performance with the sublime solo as me smiling and my head bobbin’!!! LUV IT!!! 🔥❤️👏👏🙌
Dave pense la batterie comme n'importe quel autre instrument de musique ...Toujours progresser , Il donne à la batterie , lui et quelques autres batteurs les lettres de noblesse à la batterie , tellement son jeu est précis ,fluide ,et maîtrisé ... Un maître incontestable et incontesté , de plus pour l'avoir rencontré en France , il est très modeste et simple humainement . superbe concert ici ! Merci cher Dave ! Mes amitiés de France !(un ami d'André Ceccarelli , batteur -compositeur et professeur )
Dave is an absolute master on the drums, I have been watching and learning from him for 40 years now! Since I was 15 years old. A great performance by all of the other immensely talented musicians too. Bravo 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎
Skills. A lifetime of well-honed skills and a groove you cold drive a truck through. Dave’s feel and touch along with impeccable time is absolutely some of the finest ever. A master.
I've witnessed each n every one of these great musicians in hometown St. Louis. Teddy is a gifted singer, as is Rocky Mantia. Dave is a world class drummer, from the Lou. Jim's sax is as good as it gets, too, Big John on bass is a phenomenal, soulful monsta... all are incredibly talented and they play REAL MUSIC!
The entire band is excellent. That bass player would be great to work with, what a musician. Now about Dave, he's a monster. So relaxed, smooth, tasteful, and yet powerful. I love the doubles he plays around the set with double bass drum hits (one pedal) interspersed. Fantastic.
Ive watched this like 100 times and im back again! Anyone else back?
Back again…, just can’t stay away
No, but I will be
I’m back
Hey there !
I always come back lol
Dave Weckl like a great French wine…. Better and better with the years passing ❤
You got that right. He gets better and better.
Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Billy Cobham and Denis Chambers ( But Dave and Steve my number 1 forever ❤❤❤❤)
The Chateau Lafite '82 of drummers!
Can Say noooo from Italy ? 😁i prefer Italian wine 😁
However, great artisti!
@@Frugalisme All 4 heroes !
The one who shines here is the bass. Perfect.
So tasty; and that tone!
Hes so happy to
That bassist has groove for breakfast , lunch and dinner and breathes groove while we poor mortals have to settle for food and air.
Well stated, sir! Bravo!!
We came for the drummer, but stayed for the bassist. Fuck yeah! As a drummer who transitioned to playing bass, this vid hits the sweet spot.
Big John is a KILLER bassist, got groove n soul for freakin' daze!
this bassline is awesome
Loved the bassist but I feel Dave’s and his style doesn’t quite match. They obviously nailed it but during Dave’s solo I feel the difference in their styles was apparent, IMO
THAT SNARE THO!!!!😮 Man I sit here with tears watching how smooth, yet complex Dave is. What talent!
AGREED!! The emotions were in overload listening to this!!!!!!!
I believe he has Two Strainers♫[
Yep!!!
His 13” Yamaha Signature model?
Another one not as known is Carlos Mendoza....surgical like Dave.
Man oh man, the way Dave constructs solos, so incredibly musical.
You got that right my friend!
Weckl is truly one of the all time greatest. So relaxed, so smooth. He's as close to perfect as you can get!
His time is beyond this Earth, and some far distant Galaxy is still wondering where the Universe's perfect drummer went.
Last two minutes were just a gift to the rest of us who either just quit, or practice much more diligently so we can "try" to play Dave.
He invented perfection sir 💯
We have concurrence.
One of the greatest drummers of our time. Such groove and precision.
Dave is an artist and his drum sticks are his brushes. He’s not even thinking about his limbs, he’s playing on pure feeling. Such an ease and effortlessness here.
amen
Yes indeed. The man has a gift.
Couldn't agree more ! So damn smooth with no overt showmanship.....Add to that the sound and tuning of his kit. Just transcendental.....!!!
The progression of Dave's playing never ceases to amaze and elevate.
He is utility head hunter......crazy talent /ability.
Very smooth and yet lethal solo out.
Да конечно. Он великолепен.
He always has the best sounding kits! Easily my favorite drummer. His pocket and feel is so incredible. Dude blows my mind every time. Big props to that bass player too for holding that pocket down!
Do you know the Bass Player's name? I can't find it anywhere
I went to a Chick Corea video to watch Frank Gambale cause I'm into guitarists and Dave was playing. This MF single handedly turned me into a fan of percussion and I can't get enough of this man.
Damnit I may have chosen th e wrong instrument 😂
@@Yngsatchvai I've been drumming over thirty years and when trying to play Weckl tunes I often think I've chose the wrong instrument. 😉
Fluid...
@@BillyJSmith-on6he John King is on bass.
Weckl is best of the best!
Agreed
The smiles between Dave and John .... POCKET SMILES man....
Grooooooooove, for days!!
I never get bored watching Dave solo and play
This is so off the damn hook. Absolute monsters. Dave is so fluid and musical. His dynamics are off the charts. His time is spot on. What more could you ask for?
What a GREAT right hand 16th notes groove on hi-hats. He doesn’t miss a stroke. Not so easy to play this with that speed. It is around 90 with a timer. He is so relaxed. Playing this groove is like drinking water for him. He is the best👌👌👌👌
So nice to see that even Dave Weckl plays rooms where the game is on in the background.
Also he’s on another level
OMG ! I didn't even realize that when we were playing...lol
Outtake?!!!! Holy moly!😮👍
Dave's supernatural command of time and coupling it with something akin to silky stylistic phrasings that are incomprehensible to mere mortal drummers is astonishing. Sometimes all you can do is say "Wow".
Just what I came here to say! That finish...another wow...what a great influence of phrasing and timing and open spaces.
I admire how this man tends to not only do fantastic tight solos effortlessly but also keeps grooving while doing so. Not getting carried away too much and keeping the song alive, awesome, love him.
❤
Just unreal. Such freedom, such groove.
Superb performance hats off to you ❤
The sheer consistency of that drumming. Holding the band together when needed, soloing when needed. Simply a lesson.
I cannot stay away from this. It is a true joy to watch\hear. I wish I was playing!!!
I don't care who argues with me, Weckl is the best drummer ever...
Great Band! I could watch and listen to J. King all day.
Weckl never does anything on a drumkit just to show off what tricks he can do. Everything, including soloing, that he does is in service to the song. One of the best out there.
Excellent drumming, great style.
Over all great band.
Dave gives off a persona that he'd be a master of any career choice he would have made. He's truly a gifted but serious artist. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us!!!
You won't get better than that, so precise, such timing. Dave is the best there is.
Pure genius.
This is the context where you can appreciate great players like Mr. Weckl. No amount of chops in the world can demonstrate how good you are if can't interact smoothly with other musicians. Hats off to all musicians on the video. Keep music live!
Sheer elegance flair awesome grooves guys what a beautiful band loving it from Edinburgh
This man is on top of the drumming world since the 80's, always fresh, always improvin'... always such a pleasure listenin' to that magical touch. 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Dave is top 5 best word drummer
Damn, just love where Dave goes,,,,, into the abyss for many but he ALWAYS makes its back with that perfect landing. Awesome track played by all.
I agree, he can play with time freely, a level many drummers should strive to achieve 💪

Came here for Dave, fell in love with John's playing!
I'm glad you are coming up guys, you deserve it! The whole world need this genuine funky rock shit
The Groove Masters themselves. The rhythm section of Mr. Weckl and Mr. King together is awesome!
A whole new level of deep pocket on classic grooves. Simply stellar!

Always amazing groove, dynamics, sound! This is just Dave Weckl.
This is lyrical drumming, natural, flowing, structured, creative, meaningful. Oh, and extremely watchable! Love it!
You guys are soo-o-o-o tight. Amazing.
John king ~ How funky and sexy is that bass tone. It just throws me for a loop.
I must say, it looks like Dave is having a blast , just groovin’ , he looks genuinely happy …..great to witness
Crazy good! ❤
At 1:35 Dave smiled! He is the glue that keeps the band in pocket and he knows it 😊
I've been a fan since I was 16yrs old... I'm 47 today and still find Dave W. phenomenal...
Dave Is The Man! I would Love to wake up One day, able to play like this.
These guys are all off the hook! Incredible musicians! Love the song as well

The Groove Contingent taking musical satisfaction to a new level.
Ooh, taste, touch and groove. Really enjoyed this
Dave is just incredible
I've witnessed each n every one of these great musicians in hometown St. Louis.
Teddy is a gifted singer, as is Rocky Mantia. Dave is a world class drummer, from the Lou.
Jim's sax is as good as it gets, too, Big John on bass is a phenomenal, soulful monsta...
all are incredibly talented and they play REAL MUSIC!
Sickest jam in all existence. Period.
So effortless and tight...Poetry in motion is what this is.
Incredible grooving band!!!!
Great stuff Dave!!......Congrats on your local area "STL Groove Contingent Band"!.....Thanks!
The entire band is excellent. That bass player would be great to work with, what a musician. Now about Dave, he's a monster. So relaxed, smooth, tasteful, and yet powerful. I love the doubles he plays around the set with double bass drum hits (one pedal) interspersed. Fantastic.
Thank you Craig. It's such gas working with him. I'm still pithing myself
Aaaah... :) TASTY.. Always enjoying and learning something watching your and your colleague's work.. 🙏🤟
He makes it look so easy!! What an unbelievable drummer supreme!!
