Great job! I played with several of Dave’s bands from about 2001 on.. I love playing, listening to, and working with Dave. The best!
80's and 90's? He totally reinvented his playing in the 2000's and, in a sense, started a second career, which has been just as compelling as his first.
The guy has been growing in facility and wisdom for decades, without much stagnation at all.
And in the 2010's and 2020's and on! Will get a chance to see him play in Saint Louis in August!
Subscribed! A great tribute to a real Drum God, IMHO, the most technically advanced Jazz drummer on Earth.
I've been a drummer for almost a half century now, But I was a rock/prog drummer...I never heard of Weckl until I saw him in a drum battle with Gadd and Vinnie C maybe 10 years ago, . ...I was staggered by his chops...He's an amazing Jazz drummer and in that battle; it was really between him and Vinnie...Love Gadd But technically Those two were beasts! I've been spending more time with Jazz over the last 15 years, just because; they are truly the best drummers; technically.
You should watch both Dave as well as Vinnie when Obi Wan Gadd sets his groove in.
What happens next is both of them asking Steve rudimentary 'questions' so to speak and The Gaddfather answering them back.
They portray, he concludes.
Afterwards both admitted to be on their toes and bringing their a-game because of the One who was sitting in between them.
Gadd just showed once again that chops never outclass groove.
In this case they all posses chops AND groove.
Amazing video.

You Gadd Dick riders are insane. Sure his groove is there, but call a spade a spade. His chops are shit and he’s no where near on the level that Weckl and Vinnie operate at. They ALLOWED him to shine with what he’s good at during that show and not the other way around.
His sound is that of a master. His voice is that of a president.
Not only was Weckl a great drummer, he also was a pioneer in drum sound. I've met Dave 3 times and he was very kind everytime.
change "WAS" to "IS" :)
The Dave Weckl Jon Patitucci combo from Chick Corea Eletrik band is my favorite era
Just discovered this channel, and could not resist subscribing at such a smooth and subtle request ;)
I saw Weckl playing with Oz Noy a few years back and his playing was mind blowing. I was sitting a few feet from him when he played a solo and I almost couldn’t believe my eyes and ears. His flow around the kit is just legendary.
Amazing work guys, is like a mini documentary, i love it
Grerat video! Super! Subscribed!
I went to his clinic in Kansas way back
Whenever you get the idea that you've found the new "best drummer in the world", a quick check-in on a Dave Weckl performance puts things back into perspective very quickly.
Ok, THAT'S IT. I'm growing a mullet.
*this comment was stolen, wish I could remember from which Weckl video. But it gave me quite the laugh and hopefully it will for you."
Please make a video about Max Roach
You failed to mention the hair
I owned the Ford Drum Company for 21 years. We were at NAMM for 8 straight years. In that time I met many famous drummers. Many were quite nice. Sadly, some not so much. Never met Portnoy. Peter Erskine, Neal Peart, and the aforementioned are top 3 when it comes to ego and meanness.
Some celebrities are unfortunately rather unfriendly (to put it nicely) as soon as there are no cameras on them.
Sometimes it can be downright shocking when someone you know from the media and you just give them a friendly nod stares at you with deep contempt.
Never meet your heroes, or you may find out that they are quite aloof apart from public relations.
Ποιο είναι το τραγούδι στο τέλος παρακαλώ; και που γίνεται το live?
Εξαιρετικό βίντεο
To tragoudi sto telios eine "Use me" apo ton Bill Withers.
@@williamfotiou7577 ευχαριστώ πολύ! Υπάρχει αυτό το live στο UA-cam?
@@kalli_plays6741 den nomizo. Den to exo di. Yiasas! 🇬🇷🥁
His command of the instrument and his ability to play what's absolutely perfect for the music is nothing short or remarkable. Had the opportunity to meet him several times over the years -- most recently saw him at the airport in St. Louis. Unfortunately, none of those encounters were remotely warm nor friendly. He knows he's one of the best and thus, in true BR-fashion, not humble whatsoever. What a shame.
@@jagsjag5849 lol I once bought merch directly from him and he made a point to pull out a literal brick of $100 bills when taking my money.
he puts fire on drums, but in the real life he seems not to be the best friend to have. I confirm what you say.
Portnoy vs Weckl, who do you think is the bigger asshole?
@@davealaya we need the fotofinish camera
@@jdpowell69 lol, actually I bet Weckl has never had a stage meltdown where he threw rented equipment around while singing about awful the tech crew is.
I reckon his mullet is like Marios hat. If he loses it, his chops might disappear 😅
Joey Jordison from Slipknot is better than Weckl 😉
Two totally different kinds of music first off. Second at this level do you really feel a need to say one guy is better than another? And thirdly, there's nobody better than Weckl. 😅
Delusional
Wink wink it's a joke
I caught the joke…LoL👍
Nice comment, I see your Joey and raise you Travis Barker lol
So many inaccuracies and errors in this video. Inexcusable.
Name 5. I don't see any.
1) Mullets depicted here may be larger than they appear
Goat!..... after Gadd ;-)
