Does Weckl understand that you don't have to hit something every millisecond to play an expressive solo? Bloody hell... music is all about the space in between the notes you hit just as much as the notes themselves. This guy hardly respects his instrument.
@TheMrMysteriouso I understand the criticism, but Weckl is playing in an ultra-technical context here. Though I do agree that sometimes he overplays..and those are the times when Vinnie Colaiuta gets the gig instead! ;)
Lots of Great Drummers. Dave WEckl is one of them. Vinnie Colaiuata another, let's not count out Steve Gadd unique drumming, Omar Hakim another, Gregg bisonnette another, Horacio del negro another, so many of them...now that we have the internet..so many unknown drummers are out there which are amazing. Hurray for Drummers.
I aggree Dave is technically brilliant and he is awesome under good lead like Chick Corea, Michel Camilo etc. But his own stuff and most of the solos don't have a nice feel. Too much. Sometimes less is more. In this matter I like Denis Chambers more. His is technically brilliant, but is still very groovy with only a few "hits per minute".
Dave is definately one of the greatest drummers of our time. But if I had to pick one guy, it would most certainly be Vinnie Colaiuta. Dave like the other greats seems to get better with age. Were fortunate to have guys like him, Vinnie, Steve Smith, Gadd, Phillips, Husband, Chambers, and other heavyweightswith which to draw inspiration from. Of course old schoolers like Buddy,Louie, Tony Williams, and others draw just as much inspiration. Its great to be a drummer!
competition for that, just Michael Camilo Horacio hernandez and Anthony Jackson or Charisma: Vinie Colaiuta , Landau, Stubenhaus... the others need more practice...
I grew up playing with Dave. I got some great board tapes of Dave playing crap like "Doin da Butt" "walkin the dinoaur and my personal favorite "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" auction to the highest bidder lol. Nah he'd kill me
This guy is about the most Perfect drummer ever. yeah, Buddy was made to play drums too, ( for his day; his genre ) but good god. don't believe anyone really touches this fuckin' dude's pure ability. Who? pound-for-pound, who play's This smooth, flowing, and consistently Devastatingly Impressive? Dave Weckl is hands down, the most Jaw-Dropping, musically Gifted Drummer of our time.
ah yes, they sure do have a great drummer and guitarist, but I wouldn't really consider them "similar" to CCEB except maybe in terms of their level of technical proficiency.
I'm looking for some more modern jazz fusion bands. But thanks for the suggestion!
although i'm not well versed in this genre, i would have to bring up nerve. Jojo mayer's band. little more in the electronica side, but still might wet your pallet. cheers!
Wow, Mayer is incredible! I'd love to see him team up with Tom Jenkinson of squarepusher. Thanks for the recommendation.
Although I am looking for more melodic/chordal music recommendations, I realize I'd get more of those if I'd asked the question on a video that doesn't have "Dave Weckl" in the title... He's great though and so is Mayer. Thanks.
It's called CTA, which stands for Chicago Transit Authority, written by Jimmy Heath. Chick explains that earlier to the audience before they play the song.
great, technical but musical at the same time...not like others. This isn't boring to watch...is interesting.....Not like others. Excelent and influencing drummer. Check Carter Beauford videos too!!
I think Dave plays better when he's not heading up his own band. He doesnt have to worry about the other musicians maybe.I don't know, maybe he's just more relaxed, but it just FLOWS here. Tight, and perfect.

si la verdad el es execelente batero lo reconozco es mas tengo casi todos sus discos men hasta el latino no le suena mal pero reconozcan que le suena un pelo gallego una bateria tocada al latino como es la toca antonio sanchez, un horacio hernandez por favor pero el weckl toca mucho y otra cosa tengo un pana q trabajo en el drumers collective y lo conocio l pidio 1 autografo y el pana se puso super arrogant osea eso si que es chimbo pero igual tremenda banda la que se gasta chick n sus E. B. XD
claro no le va a sonar igual a como le suena al negro, el simple hecho de ser latino hace la diferencia, sin duda weckl ha sido y es uno de los bateristas mas influyentes, y me decepciona mucho que weckl sea arrogante, esa no es la acituud ante todo la sencillez, suerte colega
bueno para mi el groove lo aplico al funk no a la musica latina le digo swing o tumbao pero si el tipo tiene full peso pero tu seguro eres latino si haz tocado musica latina y eres batero o percusionista te das cuenta q no le suena como seria un latino latino debe ser suena gringo obvio el carajo es mas gringo q el hot dog XD saludos!!!
ehh,, Thomas Lang is great in both talent and tech but hasn´t got the feeling. It´s like he is choked by his tech and can´t use it in a proper way? I don´t know?
As a lifelong drummer... I personnally have to put Dave at the top of my current list. he's the best of the best. Evertime he solos... it different. That the key to a great drummer. Reminds me of Buddy Rich... endless excitement!
anyone sitting there on the computer trying to critique others playing, have missed the most important aspect of music: Communication! its not a competition!dave weckl, just like every professional drummer, is communicating their ideas through their instrument. you should appreciate everyone's playing, because you can learn something about EVERY drummer. I learn from teaching my beginner's!! So how about appreciating and not critiquing.
snorhyveln, how ignorant are you? Those drummers you just listed are all as good at soloing at Weckl. There's a hundred other drummers I could list too. what on earth makes weckl better than them? Don't be so narrow minded. It's like only eating cheese sandwiches for your entire life. How fucking boring would that be? Very is the answer...
To be fair ....Thomas Lang has it on another level - there'd be things both of them could stump the other with, but (agreed) DW is more rounded and developed.
Totally agree about the others being down the ladder a rung or two ...
BUT Vinnie C. (like one guy said) "you never know what he's going to come up with"
I love DW, and believe him to be at the top of the heap, but there is Vinnie to consider.
This video (and part 2) are in my opinion the best I've heard Weckl, the hottest drummer alive, sound. Just amazing...thanks ja2jadwa for the great videos.
If 10,000 other drummers can play what you're playing, then that is much more inclined to sound rehearsed than if maybe 5 to 10 other drummers can play it.
I'd say Weckl falls into the latter category and therefore sounds less rehearsed than probably 99.9999% of all drummers who ever lived! How can you sound rehearsed when you're the only one who can play something? LOL
yeah i agree with you 100 percent. both fabulous drummers, amazing precision, out of this world technique, and whatnot, but alot of weckls stuff sounds so rehearsed and technical, hes always playing such busy stuff. and dont get me wrong, its all amazing, but gadd can really just lay down a groove and truly feel the music
I just love Weckl's way of playing. It's totally different from anything that iv'e heard. Even my guitarist know when it's Dave Weckl withouth watching, just listening.
Funny how these boards turn into insult pages. Don't we just come here to enjoy the great players and watch some videos? What a great one here. Weckl is awesome. So smooth.
Well, not liking Buddy doesn't make people retarded, Its just my taste and I really dont think Im missing something, There are tons of other players I like, including Weckl and other of that level, so Im doing fine, each doing Im playing better, Maybe yes, he was creative back then when everything was new in drumming, nowadays, we have Weckl, Colaiuta, etc... More Ideas, more everything, and theres much more to come, music never ends.
drumming is not about speed, its about keeping the time, being musical and being creative. you also need technique to fully develop your ideas. Can you imagine Buddy playing Songo or some Salsa??? Can Buddy do an slower solo???? If his solos were slower you'll notice his lack of creativity , and how easy they are. I mean, if he does the usual in a slower tempo you'll see his poor musical ideas
This is as dumb as it gets, "dear" Juan. Anything played really slow gets dumb sooner or later. Imagine yourself Virgil Donati playing his 4 independent bars (one for each limb) very, VERY slowly... the effect is - NO DOUBT - goes down the road. Playing fast means practice and proficiency. Thats a natural process. Its ridiculously obvious. The more you play the faster and flawlessly you will play - and it'll just get more impressive to possible viewers.
I really don't know why someone would think that Buddy's playing could have a "lack of creativity" when compared to Weckl. This actually sounds funny to me. Take for example Weckl's famous playing at the (gues who???) BUDDY RICH memorial concert... he was there fighting out the audience's attention with Colaiuta and Gadd and he just failed in his atempt. Very unispired playing. Tasteless for the most part (yeah, his first take was great, but the rest just felt off a 10-floor building).
Okay, your right, Im wrong, your just a common drummer who likes buddy, big deal!!!! Im just fine with Weckl, Colaiuta, and guys on that level(supposedly lower). You just probe my point, He's overrated, look how people admire him because of his single strokes. One more thing, the thing you said about fast and slow playing sounds so stupid, and Im not trying to impress people, I just play because I like it. It not about impressing people with speed, playing slower doesnt mean u dont have skill
juan, seriously dude, when are you going to post something useful for what you say? Something like an explanation for everything you assert? You call what I said about slow x fast "so stupid" but yet, you never provide me with any justification behind such statement. Why? Why doesn't it make any sense? Why? Where is your freaking discourse articulation? Do you know what "explanation" and "articulation" mean? Would you mind having a real conversation with me?
My points are direct. I've exposed the source of everything I said. I gave you crystal-clear examples of my statements, and you? If you want to argue, "give me a call" and I'll take it. As for now, you don't interest me any longer. I'll not reply until something useful and direct-to-the-point-discussed is presented. First grade is over, little juan. Lets argue like adults. Give me some guidance and good explanation on WHY you say what you say and we shall continue. Otherwise, forget it.
I agree w/ the solo at the B.R. Drum Off. Not Dave's finest hour in solos.(Better than any of us will ever do)! But listen to his work w/ brushes and hi-hat on The Great Pumpkin Waltz (Charlie Brown 25th Anaversary album w/ the C.K. Electric Band. His work is tremendous. And saying his playing is soulless, is heritical! Whoever said Buddy has a lack of creativity should be tied to an ant hill w/ syrup on 'em.
Ok, having regarded Weckl's playing as "soulless" was not very intelligent at all. I apologise for that. His Fusion playing is excellent. He was actually my first Drum GOD (his "how to develop technique" instructional video was a huge source of inspiration for me technically wise). Very good. I really like weckl but my most "workshipped God" is Buddy. Lets put it this way. I prefer his technique and playing (overal) but Weckl is still one of my very faves. Just my personal preference after all.
You sir, need to go play in traffic. To say that Weckl's solo "wasnt his finest hour" at the BR memorial is preposterous. That solo has more finesse and feel that alot of other solos ive seen by him and others. And weckl is my all time favorite drummer. So please, do us all a favor and take a fatal overdose of your medication.
Can you even play a quarter of that solo,let alone even think to play something that creative.Are you even a fucking drummer at all?? You should be shot with the things you say. That man has more talent in his pinky toe than you do in your entire body. Seriously, that solo at the memorial he was not "fighting the audiences attention" you dumbass. At that time weckl was already an established, popular drummer,on the SAME level of vinnie colaiuta,otherwise he wouldn't be there as a showcase.
Dave is great, hes got some excellent overall technique and his stick control is excellent but his solos are boring and souless (as an average) when compared to the other greats. Also, you've just said that you simply "don't like Buddy". I think its more a more personal thing than anything else - pushing your judgement far away from a truthful opinion. Do you want slower and tasty? Have a taste on Buddy's playing with the brushes... slower, very musical, tasty and full of swing.
Dude you are retarded. If you honestly think that Buddy Rich couldn't play Salsa or Latin music you are severely ignorant. No American musicians were playing the shit you see Weckl and Vinnie play back when Buddy Rich was in his prime. He played what he liked which is the definition of feel. That doesn't mean he couldn't play any style. You forget he had an orchestra of highly regarded musicians behind him that he directed and wrote music for.
By the way, if you slowed down Buddy's solos they would be much harder than you think they are. And I can't believe i have to explain that to someone. Also, saying that one of the first "drumset" players ever and the first one that really made people think differently about drums lacks creativity is the most rediculous comment i've ever seen on here. Why don't you explain your point of view to your idol Weckl through email and see if he doesn't call you a fucking ignorant douchebag.

As a lifelong drummer... I personnally have to put Dave at the top of my current list. he's the best of the best. Evertime he solos... it different. That the key to a great drummer. Reminds me of Buddy Rich... endless excitement!

anyone sitting there on the computer trying to critique others playing, have missed the most important aspect of music: Communication! its not a competition!dave weckl, just like every professional drummer, is communicating their ideas through their instrument. you should appreciate everyone's playing, because you can learn something about EVERY drummer. I learn from teaching my beginner's!! So how about appreciating and not critiquing.

snorhyveln, how ignorant are you? Those drummers you just listed are all as good at soloing at Weckl. There's a hundred other drummers I could list too. what on earth makes weckl better than them? Don't be so narrow minded. It's like only eating cheese sandwiches for your entire life. How fucking boring would that be? Very is the answer...

Tell me ONE drummer who´s near mr Dave Weckl in soloing?
Don´t come up with Dennis Chambers, Thomas Lang, Steve Smith, etc etc..
snorhyveln 3 years ago
To be fair ....Thomas Lang has it on another level - there'd be things both of them could stump the other with, but (agreed) DW is more rounded and developed.
Totally agree about the others being down the ladder a rung or two ...
BUT Vinnie C. (like one guy said) "you never know what he's going to come up with"
I love DW, and believe him to be at the top of the heap, but there is Vinnie to consider.
Dave is smooth-smooth
But Vinnie has the fire
Less homogenized emotionally
just my 2 cents

Did someone say Weckl sounds rehearsed?
If 10,000 other drummers can play what you're playing, then that is much more inclined to sound rehearsed than if maybe 5 to 10 other drummers can play it.
I'd say Weckl falls into the latter category and therefore sounds less rehearsed than probably 99.9999% of all drummers who ever lived! How can you sound rehearsed when you're the only one who can play something? LOL

yeah i agree with you 100 percent. both fabulous drummers, amazing precision, out of this world technique, and whatnot, but alot of weckls stuff sounds so rehearsed and technical, hes always playing such busy stuff. and dont get me wrong, its all amazing, but gadd can really just lay down a groove and truly feel the music

Well, not liking Buddy doesn't make people retarded, Its just my taste and I really dont think Im missing something, There are tons of other players I like, including Weckl and other of that level, so Im doing fine, each doing Im playing better, Maybe yes, he was creative back then when everything was new in drumming, nowadays, we have Weckl, Colaiuta, etc... More Ideas, more everything, and theres much more to come, music never ends.

Sorry, Cadaverr, I didn't mean to hit the thumbs down button on your last reply. My bad! Finger spaz!
4skorand7 3 years ago
drumming is not about speed, its about keeping the time, being musical and being creative. you also need technique to fully develop your ideas. Can you imagine Buddy playing Songo or some Salsa??? Can Buddy do an slower solo???? If his solos were slower you'll notice his lack of creativity , and how easy they are. I mean, if he does the usual in a slower tempo you'll see his poor musical ideas
juanbarros88 3 years ago
This is as dumb as it gets, "dear" Juan. Anything played really slow gets dumb sooner or later. Imagine yourself Virgil Donati playing his 4 independent bars (one for each limb) very, VERY slowly... the effect is - NO DOUBT - goes down the road. Playing fast means practice and proficiency. Thats a natural process. Its ridiculously obvious. The more you play the faster and flawlessly you will play - and it'll just get more impressive to possible viewers.
cadaverr 3 years ago
I really don't know why someone would think that Buddy's playing could have a "lack of creativity" when compared to Weckl. This actually sounds funny to me. Take for example Weckl's famous playing at the (gues who???) BUDDY RICH memorial concert... he was there fighting out the audience's attention with Colaiuta and Gadd and he just failed in his atempt. Very unispired playing. Tasteless for the most part (yeah, his first take was great, but the rest just felt off a 10-floor building).
cadaverr 3 years ago
Okay, your right, Im wrong, your just a common drummer who likes buddy, big deal!!!! Im just fine with Weckl, Colaiuta, and guys on that level(supposedly lower). You just probe my point, He's overrated, look how people admire him because of his single strokes. One more thing, the thing you said about fast and slow playing sounds so stupid, and Im not trying to impress people, I just play because I like it. It not about impressing people with speed, playing slower doesnt mean u dont have skill
juanbarros88 3 years ago
juan, seriously dude, when are you going to post something useful for what you say? Something like an explanation for everything you assert? You call what I said about slow x fast "so stupid" but yet, you never provide me with any justification behind such statement. Why? Why doesn't it make any sense? Why? Where is your freaking discourse articulation? Do you know what "explanation" and "articulation" mean? Would you mind having a real conversation with me?
cadaverr 3 years ago
My points are direct. I've exposed the source of everything I said. I gave you crystal-clear examples of my statements, and you? If you want to argue, "give me a call" and I'll take it. As for now, you don't interest me any longer. I'll not reply until something useful and direct-to-the-point-discussed is presented. First grade is over, little juan. Lets argue like adults. Give me some guidance and good explanation on WHY you say what you say and we shall continue. Otherwise, forget it.

I agree w/ the solo at the B.R. Drum Off. Not Dave's finest hour in solos.(Better than any of us will ever do)! But listen to his work w/ brushes and hi-hat on The Great Pumpkin Waltz (Charlie Brown 25th Anaversary album w/ the C.K. Electric Band. His work is tremendous. And saying his playing is soulless, is heritical! Whoever said Buddy has a lack of creativity should be tied to an ant hill w/ syrup on 'em.
3eyedho 3 years ago
Ok, having regarded Weckl's playing as "soulless" was not very intelligent at all. I apologise for that. His Fusion playing is excellent. He was actually my first Drum GOD (his "how to develop technique" instructional video was a huge source of inspiration for me technically wise). Very good. I really like weckl but my most "workshipped God" is Buddy. Lets put it this way. I prefer his technique and playing (overal) but Weckl is still one of my very faves. Just my personal preference after all.
cadaverr 3 years ago
You sir, need to go play in traffic. To say that Weckl's solo "wasnt his finest hour" at the BR memorial is preposterous. That solo has more finesse and feel that alot of other solos ive seen by him and others. And weckl is my all time favorite drummer. So please, do us all a favor and take a fatal overdose of your medication.
jwalts37 3 years ago
Can you even play a quarter of that solo,let alone even think to play something that creative.Are you even a fucking drummer at all?? You should be shot with the things you say. That man has more talent in his pinky toe than you do in your entire body. Seriously, that solo at the memorial he was not "fighting the audiences attention" you dumbass. At that time weckl was already an established, popular drummer,on the SAME level of vinnie colaiuta,otherwise he wouldn't be there as a showcase.
jwalts37 3 years ago
Dave is great, hes got some excellent overall technique and his stick control is excellent but his solos are boring and souless (as an average) when compared to the other greats. Also, you've just said that you simply "don't like Buddy". I think its more a more personal thing than anything else - pushing your judgement far away from a truthful opinion. Do you want slower and tasty? Have a taste on Buddy's playing with the brushes... slower, very musical, tasty and full of swing.

darkmaides 3 years ago 2
Dude you are retarded. If you honestly think that Buddy Rich couldn't play Salsa or Latin music you are severely ignorant. No American musicians were playing the shit you see Weckl and Vinnie play back when Buddy Rich was in his prime. He played what he liked which is the definition of feel. That doesn't mean he couldn't play any style. You forget he had an orchestra of highly regarded musicians behind him that he directed and wrote music for.
divinegrinder 3 years ago
By the way, if you slowed down Buddy's solos they would be much harder than you think they are. And I can't believe i have to explain that to someone. Also, saying that one of the first "drumset" players ever and the first one that really made people think differently about drums lacks creativity is the most rediculous comment i've ever seen on here. Why don't you explain your point of view to your idol Weckl through email and see if he doesn't call you a fucking ignorant douchebag.
