[MrTreyf1]

[mdb1230]

[ThisMeetsThat]

thanks. :)



[drummaniaco]

Now I know the drummer of those elevators....

[freakadl]

Back to BASIC!!!! Great DAve Weckl!!!

[easrj]

Man... I can remember when I bought this VIDEO TAPE at Guitarra de Prata in Rio de Janeiro, there were no DVD yet. It was very inspirating I use a lot of Dave in my drumming. I had got by surprise when I saw Dave in write hair!!

Yeah, man... as time goes by keeping giving us inspiration to keep on!!

[indiana1977]

Great track from the Masterplan album.

[gelikgo]

a drummer's orgasmic moment = to play somewhat near like dave

[hbmoraes7]

that haertfull, dave. gof bless you... that soung is virtuoso...

congratulation... song love song... spirituality

[kayary]

Back to Basics

[sheldonknowsall]

He's playing great here. But, you can see his drumming has improved a lot since this was recorded. He just looks SOOOOOO natural today. Amazing.

[digimaton]

@sheldonknowsall disagree, more technique maybe, look at the early footage with Corea, more expressive, the way he moves, the way he responds to what he is hears, wasn't as self-conscious back then, he was young, doing his thing, naturally, dont see that in his playing as much now. Remember seeing him live at one point, around 2001, he was stiff, ill at ease, and it came across in his playing, it seemed laboured, not letting go, maybe a bad night, just much prefer the younger Dave overall.

[sheldonknowsall]

@digimaton I see what you are saying. You can see he is more relaxed, free-flowing in this video. But, I think his vocabulary has developed quite a bit since the early days. It's really hard to see since he was such a monster even early on, but I really feel like his playing has improved as time has passed. It's even more technical and precise, although the overall energy is very different - more controlled and deliberate today, it looks so freakishly natural that it comes off as stiff.

[digimaton]

@sheldonknowsall "technical and precise" can be interesting, but it's often very boring, it always requires that a player "think" more about aspects of technicality and precision while playing, which to me is not musical expression, and that's what I saw in Weckl later on, obsessed with "doing it right," it's kinda anal. Looking at the early stuff with Corea, and listening to the stuff with Camilo, the record Suntan for example, i hear a more musical player, a less uptight drummer.

[erkutacar]

@digimaton dave weckl was always correct and precise, i dont agree it affects his passion..

[dandini0698]

@digimaton trying for this kind of perfection will be very boring for you because you dont have the capabilities of this man. To him this is piece of piss. Also when you get more comfortable with your enstrument you'll be trying to make your notes/hits sound better. In time you dont even need to put much effort to do things "precise" or "technical" in your words, it'll come naturally.

[LanceCampeau]

AKG 414's on the rack toms?! Am I see this correctly?

[PhilippineCreation]

i find this solo piece by dave to be very useful in my drumming style or technique

[partyboysproduction]

by good luck, did he mean "good luck trying to play like me." ???

[MrSkme]

@partyboysproduction this is my homework -.-

[wilfredoalfaro]

@partyboysproduction Totally! LoL :D

[sweetfly66]

isnt there a version of this on YouTube where the sync is lined up ...

[dangerous3169]

What a drummer!

[jspfgh]

Powertoms?

[MrJPM95]

3 people dont have garden wall

[drummerrico13]

he's amazing!!

[dal4018]

@victorpiantanida Thanks

[husein114]

dave weckl is the best drummer of world

[trendyjon1]

@husein114 you are so so right

[Moog168]

Chris Coleman did a sick version of this! 

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

@Moog168 Where we can see that or hear that?

[Moog168]

@LOLE1991KOVIN Just type in "Chris Coleman Weckl" in the youtube search bar and look for "Chris Coleman @ DiCenso's Drum Shop Clinic 10/26/10"

[fredbass77]

@LOLE1991KOVIN check out "Master Plan" the first album of the master and certainly one of greatest

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

@fredbass77 I know, that album is from 1990., amazingly good album!

[tildeath67]

Which book is this from? not the video but the book where i can fine this minus one chart

[gchsdrummerboi2007]

@tildeath67 It's in his Contemperary Drummer + One book

[SlikkTim]

even I dont usually dig Weckl, that fill as 4:15 was insane

[dal4018]

@SlikkTim Who do you prefer when it comes to drum playing?My guy is Omar Hakim would love to see these two have a contest like Gene Krupa and Max Roach did in their prime

[SlikkTim]

@dal4018 Jab'o Starks, Billy Higgins in the 60s, Ricky Wellman, Marvin Smitty Smith...

[dal4018]

@SlikkTim Okay no problem with your selections

[dal4018]

@victorpiantanida He reminds me of a modern day Gene Krupa do you agree?

[cavoglavi]

what's in traditional grip , which is unnatural on horizontally placed snare, that so many drummers use it anyway?

[vincedelapena]

This is my favorite solo off the instructional video.

Thanks for posting it. My VCR ate the original videotape. hahaha

[euphoricanomaly]

I always wondered who did the drumming for the Weather Channel

[MrSkme]

@euphoricanomaly 2:18 wow, that is some heavy weather right there!

[vithaj92]

@euphoricanomaly Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't understand, no weather channel I've watched has had similar background music in it :S

[cbfeeling]

Featuring the fabulous Michael Brecker on sax!

[TanTTaraZ]

mighty lord DAVE...

[canhotobaterasolo2]

perfeito ...grande Dave Weckl

[Aplustradomus]

My favorite song..

[Shizaku911]

Dave Weckl is GOD!

[hookupssk8r]

Now I know who writes all those grocery store songs!!

[drumfen]

he's the best

[dickpun2008]

I bought his debut cd few days ago, nice dave!

[benhhx]

matched grip ?? :) wonder why

[mooreshawn13]

@benhhx he switches half way

[78proto]

Master Plan CD...wonderful song!

[gagman151]

Garden wall is in 4/4 , 3/4 and i guess in 2/ too

[Drumminggodful]

@Mrdrummer1995. I got all th music for his tracks. It switches 4/4 to 3/4 to 2/4 and such. Mainly 4/4 but it mixes and matches a bit and dav plays it behind the beat a bit and sort of ignores the time sigs in a way.

[mooreshawn13]

wanna share?

[michaelmusica]

boring music, I prefer yanni in the acropolis.

[MobsterL4Q]

im learning this

[galfatl]

fucking perfect!.....

[sbenzardo]

It's simply...Dave Weckl...

nothing more to say...

[funkydrummer6783]

dave

[MrDrummer1995]

what time is this track ?????????????????

[bobindersmiff]

@MrDrummer1995 4/4 or 2/2

[PAGEN3]

it's to bad the sink is off. dave is bad ass.

[Deloreansyk]

seriously, everything else is perfect, everything but the kitchen sink...

[wojciech987654321]

I don't know what to say... Dave is incredible... God of drumming...

[Lifesucksdie123]

back when he played with fire!

[ZiljianK]

ya he has changed alot but hes also getting older so thats a big part of it

[barcanard]

I think he's gotten infinitely better, I saw him perform six months ago with Chick Corea Elektric band, and I never knew he could play so well!

[mileswarm]

yaaaaah - true , true - I so much loved him in early 90´s era. Now hi is much lax, without "punchy" attack and phrases

[fozah]

@Lifesucksdie123 u have the best nickname of all time

[arthurkitchen]

@Lifesucksdie123 Exactly! This is before Freddie Gruber(RIP) got ahold of him!

[themetalgod21]

@arthurkitchen i liked this dave better!!!!!!!

[Gretchluver1]

@arthurkitchen I've noticed the same with Steve Smith. Give me old school Dave Weckl anyday!

[Mathithdrummer]

i love dave weckl but it's a music for a elevator

[IPLAYDRUMS1234]

i kinda know what you mean, i love listening and playing along to dave weckl's synergy album, but sometimes i just get too jazzed out, you know?

[galfatl]

LOLL.... but dave weckl is a god!

[galfatl]

[Dongabel]

absolutely awesome fusio....great i love jazz and weckl is one of the best drummers in the world this song is harmonic!

[Fedenobx]

great!!! it's really great. Dave is one of the best

[dal4018]

@Fedenobx Hey Fed your listening to the second coming of the late Gene Krupa in my opinion.

[dal4018]

@Fedenobx I told Victor that reminds me of a modern day Gene Krupa what do you think?

[Fedenobx]

@dal4018 maybe.. I agree

[dal4018]

@Fedenobx Okay thanks

[Aplustradomus]

Love thsi song,have been trying to find this clip forever..never knew what the song was called.
