Dave Weckl "Fail"-Rare footage-(Live performance)

[TheDice2008]

He is human. Just for a drop of a stick...so what's your point?

[gabbalabbawoop]

still managed to recover without the music being effected :)

[marekdorcik]

Hardly the best drummer in the world. nothing wrong with dropping sticks

[DPhiC01]

If you were just listening to the audio you would never even know!

[joshdrums37]

HA! Wow! and he still plays a crash with his right hand on beat 4! He's unbelievable...

[Simonefunkydrummer]

he did not miss Beat! Smooth like Butter!

[bentecho]

kinda not a fail, if you couldnt see that you would hear it thats for sure, but still im gald he drops his sticks once in his life too!

[018975]

that's not fail, that's very cool!!!

[wldock]

You mean Dave is actually human? I thought he was from another planet. Ok, maybe I can play as good as hime someday? NOT!

[darrenbennett44]

dave tort chuck norris how to play

[TatoArtavia]

He dropped the stick to appear mortal. Evidently.

[jeffc6676]

the description does say "amazing" so the uploader means no disrespect i'm sure

[zarwarrior]

Didn't miss a beat!



[brianmadmaxsy]

We even don't pee perfectly by not wetting the rim of the toilet bowl... So as drums... haha

Sounds not like failed to me...

[krustacean99]

FAIL? Dude never missed a beat!!

[MIKEHODDINOTT]

Dropping a stick mostly happens when playing style and technique allows the player to be very relaxed with grip, The downside is that, occasionally, something happens that interferes and the stick goes. The main thing is to be professional and carry on. Shut your eyes and listen. You would never know it had happened.

[kankeranker]

...omg .. he just f... caught it again;-)



[jwesty29]

HAHA THAT WAS SWEET!

[erniee611]

Fuckin Awesome!!!

[Sublemon7]

omg i thought he grabbed another stick. but he freakin caught it hahahaha! epic

[EduardoTucciDrums]

Where is the fail?

[LewisDijs]

Please don't kill me but, oh come on! Every drummer drops a stick sometime. Even the best drummers of planet earth! Kind of funny, i agree with that. But to put a vid of a drummer who loses a stick on youtube is kind of stupid.

P.S Please don't post comments to me about "but he is the greatest. the greatest should NOT drop a stick EVER!

[Novaneolith75]

Didn't miss a beat!! who doesn't drop sticks?!! EVERYONE DOES!! Weckl is AWESOME!! 

[SuroDrums]

A lot of people with strong opinions. Sorry, but even Weckl drops sticks. Super rare...but everyone does it once or twice.

He's still darn near untouchable, and always one of my top influences.

Too many haters from both sides of the spectrum.

It you've never dropped a stick, then go ahead and say something, but also remember that there are young kids watching this video and reading your thought vomit.

Weckl rulz!!

[antibulletdodger101]

thats a fucking WIN right there. Drops the stock but doesnt miss a note.

[receptor1974]

Афтар лох пиши исчо

[pebblefrog196]

The stick loved Weckl so much, it hit the other cymbal in mid air on the way down.

What a boss :)

[pinze3200]

This is a joke....



[believer06]

Hey, it's called stage presence! Some throw them in the air, some twirl between their fingers. Only the best can juggle their stick and youve just witnessed it!

[BoatManBeats]

I would call this a super win.

Best save / comeback from losing a stick ive ever seen.

This makes me even BETTER. =]

[McYaballow]

Truly the funniest bit in this vid is Tom looking away, him seeing someone else's reaction on Dave's blunder and turning back to Dave, still having not realized what just happened!

[69drummerdan]

@McYaballow Haha!... Good eye. 

[ceckaio]

As God has made a misake in doing humans, so Dave has lost his stick! ;)

[loserjagoff]

Notice - The groove didn't stop. If not for the video, we aren't even having this conversation.

[spikeman23]

Dave weckl does not fail lol

[TheDice2008]

He kept the beat. That's the point.

[VBoodZ]

At first thought, I actually thought he caught it but i think he grabs a new stick...this isnt a fail!!!!

[VBoodZ]

haha nice catch....

[zooby11isbambam]

dude i don't care what you say, that's not human.

[polyrhythms7]

Awesome save. Close your eyes and listen and you can't even tell.  That's what a great musician does.

[PearlGroove]

Hey, when you play with a loose grip and proper technique you are gonna lose a stick every now and again. My instructor in college used to have us practice dropping sticks and grabbing new ones to see how fast we could recover and not lose the groove.

[saxplayerale]

drummer God

[crisamgui]

deve weckl nao erra, ele improvisa. por robao batera. ele e o melhor do mundo.

[crisamgui]

deve weckl nao erra, ele improvisa. por robao batera.

[DicoeMaria]

Porque o ser humano insiste em sempre procurar as falhas? Dave Weckl sempre será O CARA!!!

[jemdave13]

It's a win for me, incredible!

[mcj3691]

it would only be a fail if he freaked out and stopped playing and/or let the groove suffer or die. since he didn't do any of those, i'd say it's definitely a win.

[emilianoqueen]

[saxplayerale]

@emilianoqueen este vato .... te da envidia verdad?

[bajadrums]

shit happens

[kipppur4]

@TheMamoneo Muy bien dicho brother!!!!

[mrthundaboots]

And it's good to drop a stick from time to time.your grip should be totally relaxed.

[paulo101]

That's definitely not a fail, that's how you recover flawlessly. If this were audio, you'd never know he even dropped a stick... that's why this guy is the best. He always stays cool no matter what.

[junkyarddrummer]

This is not a FAIL,man ! It's a double-triple win ! :)

[chavezcervantes]

Even in this situation he's a master! One time I saw that he got a piece of wood from the stick in his eye... I wondered, how is he gonna fix this? Because tears came out of that eye, but he stayed super proffesional and just keeped playing on that high level.
