Dave Weckl - Drum solo (2010 X 5) Opole PL (Chris Minh Doky & the Nomads)

[cavoglavi]

jojo mayer and dave are about same age, both have their own bands, and yet there's a significant difference in their playing recently. jojo seems to get more intense and dave less. so if not the age, the music, is it whiskey or women....

[EagleEye80]

Fantastic!! But I believe you have to be a drummer to really aprecciate his skill. If Dave lacks anything, it would be imagination to create beats that sticks on your brain. In the classic clip where Weckl, Caliouta and Gadd plays - it's Gadd I remember best! And Weckl is at least twice as skillfull as Gadd!

a mi sie nie podoba jakies pitolenie na bębenkach

6 characteristics of Dave's soloing that are very impressive: 1. dynamics, 2. technicality, 3. control, 4. speed and 5. coordination, and last but not least 6. grace.  He has no doubt mastered the art of drumming.

...drumming is not just making noise, bit music.

[lewisdrummerboy36]

This solo shows technique and artistry at it's highest form. It's an inimitable display of complete independence, precise dynamic control, thematic development, tasteful form and composition, and master craftsmanship.

And also, for those of you who may not have noticed, the Latin rhythm he based this entire solo around is arguable the most difficult to master. Moreover, he was staying in tempo while simultaneously retarding!! That's masterful skill.

Dave show us that drumming is not just ma

[bobbystockerdrums]

For the people calling this boring....I will say it again....It Has To Be A Lack Of Understanding....Because even an opinion has to be based on something...and if you understand even a tenth of what is happening here....You simply could not use the word "BORING",and keep a straight face!!

[utonium123]

Weckl is beyond godly, just saying. There's a bit of Benny Greb inspiration in this solo, but he definitely made it his own

[justentime77]

Weckl's a monster drummer and I'm a huge fan, but I found this solo boring.

[marlonchik]

the great Mozart drums !!!!!!

[bsvends1]

Another master-piece from the numero uno! He is as always amazing, truly a musician unlike so many so called "good drummers" that are only about hitting the heads fast with not groove or soul. Dave shows us again how a true master drummer sounds like! Can't wait to see him here in Norway on march 29th! Too bad there are ignorants who provide utter useless comments like "boring". Obviously they have no idea what they're talking about.

[teetomthomas]

@bsvends1 Good for you mister. He is in London on march 25th. Can't fucking wait!!

[sherman2002]

muy muy bueno.

[teetomthomas]

Weckl has always been brilliant.

But now he's even more brilliant.

And the sustain off that second floor tom....

[NapoRinc]

Amazing!!!!

I can't believe someone will call this boring. SMH

[J0B0S0]

People who say that this masterpiece solo is boring have never learned how to listen to music.

[TelloPerd]

@J0B0S0 People who say that this masterpiece solo is boring have their own opinion and you can't judge them, because they ears, too.

I personally like it, but everyone for their reasons can express their opinion...

[smoukondeuoter]

@TelloPerd yes, You're right dude, I totally agree. But, I'd say that maybe those people should put their drum on ebay if they have one ^_^

[TelloPerd]

@smoukondeuoter ;) ^_^

[oaktownpull]

Can we say, 'Smoooth like butta!"

[SigDrums]

Brilliant.

[TravellingMan79]

Awesome solo.

Class, finesse, subtlety, technique, feeling, momentum, dynamics.

Nice one

[jork1989]

so boring...

[toschlinger]

boring

[Bren28]

Nice to see dave being more lyrical...

[Fustware]

He makes easy what is so darn difficult. Only the best drummers can achieve that when you look at them. You think, hey I can do that, then you feel confident to reply the same in your kit and you realize you can't even achieve 1% shown in this video. :-)

From 5'07 to 5'30 is the most killing out of this world solo I have see in my life. The problem with this video is that the audience if so cold, they don't even applaude at the end. So cold. Bravo Weckl ! So good, so talented.

[beatleguy64]

@Fustware No one applauded in the video because it ended.

[saespre]

creo que Dave es mucho mas talentoso en otros tipos de ritmo, pero creo que pudo haber hecho un ritmo mucho mas rico con el latin que trata de hacer aqui! el tiene para mas!... i dont like!

[JohnSTAVROPOULOS]

It wasn't razzle dazzle and u didn't like it.Sheer musicianship!

[ykdrums]

i'm a big weckl fan, but i gota agree with TheDice2008... That was maaad boooring!

[TheDice2008]

boring



[HaakNBake]

@TheDice2008 I disagree. The man poured his soul out into that solo! I really connected with it. Technically, yes... not the craziest Weckl solo; but emotionally, he's on a new level. I loved it!

[manni108]

nice quality!!!
