Dave Weckl / Island Magic performed by Tom Geisler - Fran Merante Student

[TheDrumChannel]

Hey Tom - Great Channel here - I do remember you. This is a great song and a great album as well. This stuff is really hard to play and you make it look so easy. Really nice sound and sustain on your drums. Great solo in the middle of this. So much going on here. Wow. I had Tower of Inspiration posted but they took it down!

Great to hear /see you again - I subbed!

Hi Joe! Thanks so much for the awesome comment! Just unbelievable stuff on your drum channel as well!

I really enjoy it. Don Brewer was one of my early influences, then my older brother Dave brought home the YES album one day and it was Bruford and usual Prog Rock suspects for years!

i liked the solo, simple yet very musical

[ttomsdw]

Thank you very much! I was trying to include some space vs. playing a ton of notes.

hey man it sounds really,,im trying to learn this song...where did u get the track?

[ShelterDogs]

In the side info it says "Dave Weckl - Contemporary Drummer +1 package". It's a book/CD combo from the early 90s. I'd never heard of it until now myself.

Tommy, that is very good. You should be in a big time band!

Another outstanding demonstration. Having seen Weckl, Tom shows the same cool demeaner while drumming. I know this song well, it could be tighter in a couple of places but the degree of difficulty is definitely above what most drummers should even attempt to try and match, yet Tom does it justice. OUtstanding!
