I agree, but I think to the "none musicians" he's not that well known. Compare to Lars Ulrich for example, he's known to alot of people. Is he good? hell no...
Man I can't understand why some of these folks are hatin on Dave, I enjoyed this video, and besides that I'd like to see any of these shit talkers try to pull this off.
dave believe it or not has improved his playing to an unfathomable degree, back here in the 80's his playing was very technical and impressive but now its musical and perfect beyond human capability
What makes Dave Weckl a fantastic drummer (compared to Mike Portnoy for example) is that he manages to do a brilliant drum solo without 50 toms and 3 bass drums :-) Like Mike does. He sucks compared to Dave..
IF anyone knows the name of the black metronome/sequencer machine he's got to his right, please reply here to this comment, cause i really want to know! thank you
Weckl has so much talent and class. He's so far ahead of the so-called 'list of best drummers' it's not even funny. The proof is that none of the current 'stars' in rock/thrash/whatever could get anywhere near repeating the natural beauty of Weckl's effortless, unforced, intuitive style. Best drummer in the world, no question.
Im curious as to which drum kit Dave is playing on in this video? It reminds me of the Yamaha Birch Recording Custom in Cherry Red but then I could be wrong.
I am sick of all these thrash drummers out there getting all of the attention when there are guys like this who are ten times as good with next to none reccognition, I am 15 and I am realizing this.
@jammastertyty Every drummer knows who Weckl is and no one can deny his talent but it comes down to what people like and more people especially the youth are more interested in metal.
@jammastertyty Dave Weckl has tonnes of recognition. Also there are some pretty damn talented metal drummers out there. Talent knows no stylistic ideology.
@jammastertyty Since when are thrash drummers famous? Thrash Metal is practically non-existent to the majority of the world besides the Big Four. Of course drummers like this guy blow them out of the water, but Thrash Metal drummers get very little attention paid to them, if any at all.
@jammastertyty You know the best drummer is the least known drummer right? Half of the making of a live as a musician is publicity, and playing with a band, not practicing all kinds of paradiddles.
Being a thrash drummer is demanding, there is no such thing as one better drummer than another (with the exception being people who are starting). I've seen Weckl live, I'm 15 this month. Being a great musician has nothing to do with fame. Dave Weckl performed on Buddy Rich's memorial concert. That's an honor in itself. I mean, sure, there are people who are famous for being talented, when they really suck (Lars, I'm looking at you), but playing jazz and thrash is just as hard.
@jammastertyty Agreed. I'm a (mainly) Thrash and Death metal drummer, and this guy beats the shit out of most drummers. I am also 15, realized it a long time ago. But my main point is that (depending on genre) he is one of the best drummers alive. But see it from an other point of view, he ain't the best double bass drummer in the world. (Obviously because he doesn't use them as much as George Kollias or Chris Adler. Technically, he is the best drummer in my opinion.
@me8t4ec technique wise i'd say jojo mayer is the strongest. i listen to my my fair share of enslaved, protest the hero, fall of troy,etc. but none of those guys can hold a stick to weckl, or vinnie colaiuta, jojo, chambers, harland, etc.
There are flashier drummers, and a few with better groove. But I know of no other drummer with Weckl's fluidity, combinative prowess, and degree of "coordinated independence". Just amazing to watch! I feel lucky to have seen him perform live 7 times.
OH YEAH BABY, HEA'S NEW TO ME AS A FAV, I'M JUST INSANELY IN LOVE WITH THE FEEL, HE'S ONE OF ONLY A FEW I BELIEVE YOU HAS THAT bruford tight thing bUT ALSO HAS THE CLASSIC caleuita THING AS WELL.
WOA WOA WOA :).I soo wish my one was played without the two year break, I tend to have a similar sound. GLENN FLETCHER PN-NEW ZEALAND.
YouTube can be both a blessing and a curse because it lets us watch drummers who were 10 times better 20 years ago than we'll ever be in our whole life, no matter how much we practice. I mean, the Weckl of today would absolutely school this guy, make him look silly. He's that good. In fact I saw him 22 years ago with Corea and he wasn't great, he was MIND-BLOWINGLY great, simply astonishing, and it made my dick disappear like a frightened turtle. But guess who's Vinnie's favorite drummer? Ringo.
@owlcu Yep...you got it! Love your comment, and about ringo...many many modern drummers use to say that they'r kind of ispired by him...well i think is not pointless, ringo kind invented something new,,,i guess,,,think...hope! Just kidding, ringo is the man, if you listen to his drumming carefully, and compair him to the older drummers you can understand why He is so loved by our heros,,,couse he was our heros's hero!
@zzzzzzzzzz202 the 80's had jeff porcaro, chambers with mclaughlin, and vinnie's playing on 'secrets.' The 90's had vinnie with Sting, and Carter Beauford of the Dave Matthews Band. Maybe you just need to look harder for good drumming of those eras.
@27dedrummer straigh ahead, as in straight ahead jazz, meaning the basis is the swing ride pattern used in jazz standards, as opposed to a fusion or latin jazz style.
i personally dont care for his style, hes a great drummer, buti just prefer a different drumming style im not hating on him, hes amazing way better then me
@DrumThat1 maybe he's not as experienced as this guy is but still he has a lot of experience. i mean he managed to play perfectly well with only one arm
@DrumEmaHer0 yeah ok. but i think his imagination while composing is awesome. and besides what makes a good musician is to play their music well while having fun and to be good at what you do. and travis's exactly like that
@Docas633 Yea he is talented and a great musician but people like to compare him with the big guys and he is good but he isnt the best or the best at what he does. But will give him some props the dude can kick my ass in drums any day so im not saying he sucks at drums either
If you`re going to throw comments about who`s the best drummer/guitarist etc, you need to be able to recognize the genius in front of you despite the fact that he might not represent your genre.
"I'll start with a straight ahead type of thing that obliterates anything else ever played before. Then I'll get exponentially more advanced from there."
in the beginning with the supposedly "straight ahead type of thing"...its almost like he's saying "I am drum god Dave weckl. I am beyond all time signatures."
@MrTeslasRevenge Lars? Lars is just a douche bag that cant play drums for shit that just somehow happened to be a drummer for "Metallica" because his daddy knows people in the music industry. Anyone says Lars is a good drummer obviously has no background in music. They only say that because he is the drummer for their favorite band Metallica.
Dave Weckly has skill that is unmatched. I still don't know how he can get so many sounds out of one symbol or one drum at a time. Talent is Talent. : )
@dwilmer7 Lars is an untalented, half-ass crybaby who sucks at drums. Dave is a million time more complex than him. I guess if you were a DRUMMER, not a metallica fanboy, you would realize that. I'm not saying metallica sucks, I say Lars sucks and he's just famous for being in a famous band
@0intelligence0 Dude, Saying that Lars sucks is just stupid cause he's not a bad drummer. There's different levels of skill in everything in life, but you don't have to be god-like to be good. Lars is not as good as Dave, but he doesn't suck.
@MrMcskurk Well, true. And since you mentioned Barker, yeah he sucks. It's not me who started the Dave-Lars comparison anyways :S But Dave is better at EVERYTHING than Lars (Even speed and double bass, which Lars sucks at)... except making money...
@chrismitchell45 That's normal because someone with ultra advance skills will do things you can't understand.
Maybe some people doesn't even know the date release of that video.
1989 VHS Tape cassette
So yeah, he was doing impressive stuff, amazing chops and nobody at this time was close to that level. Maybe Steve Smith and Peter Esrkine, but Weckl bring something totally new, not only jazz or fusion, I would say futurist sound with Chick Corea Electric Band and of course, off beat ideas.
i also wanted to be the best drummer in the world too, i remember that being a goal. I hope that i actually get as ridiculous as dave, but its gonna take a lot of practise (and still i consider myself quite a demon on the drums, just nuthin compared to him).

@dwilmer7 Lars is better? What the fuck are you talking about? Are you smokin' dope?????
MrTeslasRevenge 1 year ago
@MrTeslasRevenge Lars? Lars is just a douche bag that cant play drums for shit that just somehow happened to be a drummer for "Metallica" because his daddy knows people in the music industry. Anyone says Lars is a good drummer obviously has no background in music. They only say that because he is the drummer for their favorite band Metallica.
Dave Weckly has skill that is unmatched. I still don't know how he can get so many sounds out of one symbol or one drum at a time. Talent is Talent. : )

@DJSexLeopard I couldn't agree with you more Lars is a no talent hack thats what i was saying to dwilmer7 .
MrTeslasRevenge 1 year ago
@dwilmer7 Lars is an untalented, half-ass crybaby who sucks at drums. Dave is a million time more complex than him. I guess if you were a DRUMMER, not a metallica fanboy, you would realize that. I'm not saying metallica sucks, I say Lars sucks and he's just famous for being in a famous band

@0intelligence0 Dude, Saying that Lars sucks is just stupid cause he's not a bad drummer. There's different levels of skill in everything in life, but you don't have to be god-like to be good. Lars is not as good as Dave, but he doesn't suck.

@MrMcskurk he's still the worst when you compare to any other professional drummer... can you tell me one famous drummer that's worse than him?

@0intelligence0 Travis barker? There you go.
MrMcskurk 1 year ago
@MrMcskurk Okay, since Lars is considered metal drummer, can you name one metal drummer that's worse than Lars?
0intelligence0 1 year ago
@0intelligence0 If Lars is a metal drummer, then why did you compare him to Weckl in the first place? :P
MrMcskurk 1 year ago
@MrMcskurk Well, true. And since you mentioned Barker, yeah he sucks. It's not me who started the Dave-Lars comparison anyways :S But Dave is better at EVERYTHING than Lars (Even speed and double bass, which Lars sucks at)... except making money...

@chrismitchell45 It's only a practice mate, we all do it. Dave Weckl is allowed an off day!

@chrismitchell45 That's normal because someone with ultra advance skills will do things you can't understand.
Maybe some people doesn't even know the date release of that video.
1989 VHS Tape cassette
So yeah, he was doing impressive stuff, amazing chops and nobody at this time was close to that level. Maybe Steve Smith and Peter Esrkine, but Weckl bring something totally new, not only jazz or fusion, I would say futurist sound with Chick Corea Electric Band and of course, off beat ideas.

@DruMmMeuR "nobody at this time was close to that level."
Check out Vinnie Colaiuta's drumming on Allan Holdsworth's album, 'Secrets'. Same year. Vinnie can hang with anybody, from any time period.

@chrismitchell45 That would because it's unsynchopated rhythms and off beats.

i also wanted to be the best drummer in the world too, i remember that being a goal. I hope that i actually get as ridiculous as dave, but its gonna take a lot of practise (and still i consider myself quite a demon on the drums, just nuthin compared to him).
