id put weckl down for the drummer with the best time in history, sure colaiuta has all the polyrythmic and off and on the beat type stuff down better than dave, but weckls notes fall with the click better than any guy ive heard in my life
There are barely any guys who can play faster then Weckl, and even the few who can are nowhere near as good a drummer as he is. Speed is a very small aspect of drumming. Getting speed is just the beginning of being a drummer, Weckl has taken it to a whole new level.
I LOVE this track. Dave's on fire here.....and for me, he is a master with the use of cymbals. I could loop this track forever in my brain and I would never tire of it. There is none better than Weckl for that perfect amalgam of technique and listenability.
@mojoefly No mistake, a double hit on time on the beat, you didnt lose count. That happens alot in odd time signature. Count it yourself, you wont get lost on come in off time.
have had the pleasure of meeting this legend, and hadent seen this footage till now, this shows me how even more amazing he has got.... this is still obv crazy still but when you see him now its just silllyyyyy lol. mans a freak lol
Whhhhoooaaaa!!! haha!! aint heard this since i got the vid 20 odd yrs ago, man!! i'm just air-drumming like an excited lil kid!!!!! great stuff from 1 of the masters of our time :o)
@TheNuncFluens the music is a metronome to help keep the rythm and like if you turn a metronome at a beat it can help you play and guide you and play different kinds of sounds and beats
Some old geezer told me that neil peart is the best. That was probably like 30 years ago. Now we have Dave, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd and Jojo Mayer etc...
Dave should have stayed with Zildjian. He is also no where as good as he eventually ended up in this vid, but its still 10x better than I can ever hope for. Sigh.
dave is just fantastic. If ever he makes mistakes it is still better than so so many people's playing. If you dont like dave weckl's playing than you are just a dick....period!
20 years after first watching this video and I STILL shake my head after watching it. I know there are guys who can play faster but I haven't seen ANYONE yet with his mix of technique, precision, musicality.
@TrueNorth2112 Dude, I was just watching this thinking the exact same thing. I bought this video when it first came out and I am still amazed watching Weckl. I found the chart for this song from Weckl's "Contemporary Drummer + One" package that he put out. Time to hit the woodshed and see if I can learn it. I couldn't do it in my twenties, but maybe I can figure it out now in my middle age! :)
@TrueNorth2112 .... agreed , and the people that do go for this sort of thing , at least in an obvious way , dont sound very good ... Weckl managed to be machine like accurate while having it breathe and still feel good ... very hard to get away with that
@TrueNorth2112 There aren't many, but there are a few. Vinnie Colaiuta in particular comes to mind. But not to take away from Dave's amazing musicianship.
If you ever complain about Weckls playing you should learn this song. Theres so many nice litte figures all over. And it´s not until you try learn this song you realize how well played it is. Stuff that sounds very up to date even 2011.
@EyesOnSkies hey thanks a lot. yeah i've recently gotten into studying odd time signatures seriously for the first time so i just wanted to make sure i was at least on the right track.
@EyesOnSkies yeah, he's a master and switching from complex to simple and back to complext time signatures. influenced me to do the same. I just finished a tune which switches from 5/4 to 4/4 and back to 5/4 again. Ive done a number of them like that. Probably wouldnt even have thought of it had i not heared Dave do it.
Thank u Dave Weckl for inspiring me to play drums! U gave me a whole new outlook to play music an not the just the instrument! U r the best drummer to me.
The only thing greater than Weckl's playing...is that mullet. This was back when Dave got flack for his playing. He was, is, and always will be an incredible drummer...one of the best ever.
I'm cool with what your saying and stuff. Nobody's saying Weckl can't wield some mean stix. I'm just stating some facts of the matter that many people think Travis Barker has something to offer by flying upside down and jamming out.
No. I cannot lie. The truth is, sir, many people all over the world know Barker's the best. Weckl should stick to jazz and stuff. He's out of his game entirely when it comes to full throttle rock and roll.
Dave Weckls creativity seamless compositions and musicality are so tastefull that no matter what drummer comes along Dave Weckl will always be astonishing!
I'm cool with that bra. It's cool. You know. Whatever & stuff. But know this, Travis Barker whips out drums and flies upside down! Now, who's as bad a** at that?
I'd like to see Weckl try to fly around in the air upside fricken' down while jamming out. Sorry, but it's not going to happen. The sheer amazing trifandangos of Travis coupled with his strong, skinny tatoo'd arms make him a powerhouse drum flyer. He's el grande big burrito on the drums.
@JoeJacari "flying" upside down is not a talent. and joey jordanson was the first one to do that. i could tell that you are a beginner on drums, you probably dont even play drums, because you are single minded. now im not gonna say that travis barker sucks, because obviously it does take "skill" to play with big artist names. but "flying" upside down and calling it a skill is one of the most retarted comments i have ever read. go practice or take some lessons
@ExorbitantBboy lol Well put. Everybody has there music style preference. Personally when it comes to rock I like Neil Peart. Dave Weckl is at the highest level when it comes to drumming. I do believe this number is in an odd time signature but he makes it seem so normal to the listener.
Barker is considered to be one of the best 'ROCK' drummers, I don't think he's played anything like this before. The styles of play are completely defferent.
He arose from the frozen west to be the best drummer ever. His name? Oh, so magical is Travis Barker that chicks throw their panties on stage and men stammer at his amazing flamdango Latinesque beats.
See the sheer Flamingo-dressed babes throw up their lingerie while Travis drums like a little thumper rabbit from the gifts of the gods heaven of immaculate and amazing pure drum crystals from Planet X.
Weckl is good. We know that. But Barker is YOWZA WOWZA CHICK MAGNETICO.
@JoeJacari what?? hope ur being ironic... cause if not ur being a total ignorant... weckl´s ok¿?¿?¿?... dude he is in the top 5 of the best drummers on the world dude....
@JoeJacari Travis is like the Jonas Brothers; no one likes them... All travis does is single strokes and probably can't differ a ratamacue to a 5 stroke rough. Whats worse is his ego, he thinks he is good, when that is truly and most definitely a lie.
There is just not a single section where u could say "hmmm u could find a better solution on drums" ..just like every single song he play^^. i rly dont get how this is possible..
@i7Qp4rQ Yes the original version of this song is on Master Plan. this minus-one version comes from his instructional tape 'Contemporary Drummer minus one'
i think the synth solo in this version has nicer phrasing than the album version.
I found this piece in my advanced higher booklet (for those of you not scottish, advanced higher is about grade 5 USUALLY) so i youtubed it... I aint playing this 0.o
@Lifesucksdie123 ... I agree , his early work is his best .... some people accuse the young weckl of sounding to mechanical but I disagree with that . I think he played with lots of fire and energy during the " back to basics " and elektric band era ... definitely the era that made me a weckl fan
Dave Weckl is one of the best but it would sounded better if he used the original studio version of this tune with Anthony Jackson on bass and the Chick Corea synth solo. He could of muted his original drumming tracks and just played along.
People want creatures from other planets. More evolved creatures. Well here is one. Its another humanoid creature from the adromeda galaxy. Its a Zupah human!!
Dave is what we should all aspire to be as drummers...technique, groove, speed, power, stamina and improvisation. Dave is about as good as you can get....you can't get much better. He is from my hometown, and plays at a lot of local clubs and hotspots every year...I hope to meet him. I'd pay quite a bit of dough for a master class lesson from the great davino. Best double strokes since buddy rich.
@funkydrummer6783 That's great! But... I've met Dave twice, and he's a great drummer, but he's probably one of the biggest ass-holes you'll ever meet. Even other professional drummers will tell you he's a little priss.
@funkydrummer6783 ... Dave teaches quite a bit ... From what I understand he takes students of all levels and abilities and I hear his rates are very reasonable as well
Easly one of the most advanced drummers in the world!

This track sounds quite like the music composed for Sonic 3, albeit more metrically complex :D

Dave has improved but his music hasn't. It was better back in 90-94

Dave Weckl is one of the best but it would sounded better if he used the original studio version of this tune with Anthony Jackson on bass and the Chick Corea synth solo. He could of muted his original drumming tracks and just played along.

Dave is what we should all aspire to be as drummers...technique, groove, speed, power, stamina and improvisation. Dave is about as good as you can get....you can't get much better. He is from my hometown, and plays at a lot of local clubs and hotspots every year...I hope to meet him. I'd pay quite a bit of dough for a master class lesson from the great davino. Best double strokes since buddy rich.

@funkydrummer6783 That's great! But... I've met Dave twice, and he's a great drummer, but he's probably one of the biggest ass-holes you'll ever meet. Even other professional drummers will tell you he's a little priss.

@funkydrummer6783 ... Dave teaches quite a bit ... From what I understand he takes students of all levels and abilities and I hear his rates are very reasonable as well
