80's and 90's? He totally reinvented his playing in the 2000's and, in a sense, started a second career, which has been just as compelling as his first. The guy has been growing in facility and wisdom for decades, without much stagnation at all.

And in the 2010's and 2020's and on! Will get a chance to see him play in Saint Louis in August!

I've been a drummer for almost a half century now, But I was a rock/prog drummer...I never heard of Weckl until I saw him in a drum battle with Gadd and Vinnie C maybe 10 years ago, . ...I was staggered by his chops...He's an amazing Jazz drummer and in that battle; it was really between him and Vinnie...Love Gadd But technically Those two were beasts! I've been spending more time with Jazz over the last 15 years, just because; they are truly the best drummers; technically.

You should watch both Dave as well as Vinnie when Obi Wan Gadd sets his groove in. What happens next is both of them asking Steve rudimentary 'questions' so to speak and The Gaddfather answering them back. They portray, he concludes. Afterwards both admitted to be on their toes and bringing their a-game because of the One who was sitting in between them. Gadd just showed once again that chops never outclass groove. In this case they all posses chops AND groove. Amazing video.

Not only was Weckl a great drummer, he also was a pioneer in drum sound. I've met Dave 3 times and he was very kind everytime.

Great job! I played with several of Dave’s bands from about 2001 on.. I love playing, listening to, and working with Dave. The best!

Subscribed! A great tribute to a real Drum God, IMHO, the most technically advanced Jazz drummer on Earth.

Amazing work guys, is like a mini documentary, i love it

Just discovered this channel, and could not resist subscribing at such a smooth and subtle request ;)

His sound is that of a master. His voice is that of a president.

I saw Weckl playing with Oz Noy a few years back and his playing was mind blowing. I was sitting a few feet from him when he played a solo and I almost couldn’t believe my eyes and ears. His flow around the kit is just legendary.

Grerat video! Super! Subscribed!

The Dave Weckl Jon Patitucci combo from Chick Corea Eletrik band is my favorite era

Ok, THAT'S IT. I'm growing a mullet. *this comment was stolen, wish I could remember from which Weckl video. But it gave me quite the laugh and hopefully it will for you."

His command of the instrument and his ability to play what's absolutely perfect for the music is nothing short or remarkable. Had the opportunity to meet him several times over the years -- most recently saw him at the airport in St. Louis. Unfortunately, none of those encounters were remotely warm nor friendly. He knows he's one of the best and thus, in true BR-fashion, not humble whatsoever. What a shame.

@@jdpowell69 lol, actually I bet Weckl has never had a stage meltdown where he threw rented equipment around while singing about awful the tech crew is.

Whenever you get the idea that you've found the new "best drummer in the world", a quick check-in on a Dave Weckl performance puts things back into perspective very quickly.

I went to his clinic in Kansas way back

I owned the Ford Drum Company for 21 years. We were at NAMM for 8 straight years. In that time I met many famous drummers. Many were quite nice. Sadly, some not so much. Never met Portnoy. Peter Erskine, Neal Peart, and the aforementioned are top 3 when it comes to ego and meanness.

Some celebrities are unfortunately rather unfriendly (to put it nicely) as soon as there are no cameras on them. Sometimes it can be downright shocking when someone you know from the media and you just give them a friendly nod stares at you with deep contempt. Never meet your heroes, or you may find out that they are quite aloof apart from public relations.

You failed to mention the hair
