I love how mr. Noy is as funky and groovy as a guitarplayer could ever dream of, yet nothing in the way he mooves suggests that he is doing anything more funky, than solving a word-puzzle.

Played in college with Dave. He was a monster then, and he's even a bigger monster now.

I have Dave Weckl to thank for motivating me into taking drum lessons. A friend had suggested I go to see this guy. Well I'd never been to a drum clinic before & I'd never heard of this guy from the States before either. I went to see Dave at a drum clinic in Brisbane, Australia around about 1990. I was really, really impressed with how good he was. In question time I asked him. What were the steps you took to become such a good drummer? He replied - Taking drum lessons - learning to read music - learning drum rudiments & studying and becoming competent at (not just learning a little of) as many different genres of music & drumming styles as possible. The very next day I looked in the phone book & found Col Gillies Rudimental Drum School & took 2 lessons a week for about a year & a half. I then did a full time course at the Institute of Music in Sydney. So here's to you Dave. Thanks for those inspiring words at that clinic, I wouldn't be 1/5th as good a drummer, if I hadn't taken your advice that day :)

Perhaps the reason you hadn't heard of this guy "from the States" before is that if you play anything fusion or even bordering fusion you spend a lot of time in Europe where the genre enjoys far greater popularity than it does in North America (and Australia, I assume) to my greatest dismay. Good thing the Montreal Jazz Festival and the Drum Fest attracts many of them but getting tickets is no mean feat. No Fest this year though, thanks to the pandemic and ensuing confinement regulations. Oh well, I'll survive (hopefully).

I love this guitarist man...very inventive with the rotary accents, etc...not to mention he's got some pretty filthy bop style chops in his back pocket

I think to the uneducated listener (not you), his "disjointed" sound turns them off but if you listen very closely you can hear the fusing of several styles. I think he lulls people in with his heavy blues influence and then he smacks them into submission with his nasty Funk & Jazz licks never mind the solos. Yea, he's very much overlooked.

Weckl's unbelievable! Saw him in clinic years ago and he blew us away with his left hand technique. He has such command of the kit. Smooth and creative.

All three musicians here are MONSTERS. This is awesome.

Still listen to this every once in a while. Love this recording!

I keep coming back to this version. - It is the best take ever.

Why is this disliked? Clueless people. I'm not a jazz guy but Dave just kills it, plain and simple.

The more I listen the more i realize the greatness off Dave Weckl's playing. his drumming style is so smooth.

I love how Dave goes on the "And" of the beat towards the beginning of his solo and stays there until the last 2 beats of the solo.

I never use this word (I'm 44) but: Sick. I can't relate to how effortless Weckl is on the drums. All power to him.

Only 3-4 mins of solo but one of best I've heard from him, and backed up brilliantly by a great guitar and bass groove. Every drummer is different (and how cool is that) but Wecksy is the only one who for me most closely resembles a drumming volcano: he builds and builds and builds his solos and then completely explodes the last 2 mins in a way that makes my jaw dislocate itself from its socket and drop to the floor. There's no pain, just wonder and pure fist-in-the-air I-want-more joy. This solo one is no exception. Masterful.

FesliyanStudios I 100% disagree. I used to play solely cover music until I started listening to bands where I rhythmically couldn't understand even the hook of their songs. It inspired me to use drums as the medium of musical understanding. I know that sounds kindof pretentious, and I'm not going to sit on my throne and say I can play anything close to the shed he played, or even understand some parts; but I will say that is part of the journey. Expand what you can play into what you can't, and you can start on the process of understanding what the greats are playing. I am not there yet, but I happily accept that there is a long way to go, and all the while playing the music to get there is worth the time I have to put in practicing technique.

Saw Weckl at Jazz Alley in Seattle a few years back. He was playing with a good group but we specifically came for Weckl. Got there late but to our surprise the last couple tables still available were the closest tables to the drum kit. It was amazing watching him jam from just a couple feet away. Talked to him a bit after the show too. Nice guy

I would not say this was jazz, more fusion. This grooves rather than swings. Also I would say this is more of a rock signature in time. I listen to jazz under duress and really just for the drums but I would listen to this for pleasure. It has all the great musicianship that jazz musicians bring but without the annoying jazz. This is the sort of stuff I used to go to Ronnie Scott's to listen. Reminds me a little like the drumming on some later Miles Davis albums. The early albums were also great for drumming but I did not like the music that much but the later stuff was much better with more hi hat snare based rock beats rather than the annoying cymbal triplets of jazz.

If you can't feel this groove it might be you who has no feel... Dave has an extensive background in latin drumming which is to me the most feel orientated music inside its complexity...

The only comment this thread is missing is the old "well, he sure as hell ain't no Buddy Rich" chestnut. I saw Weckl at a clinic+concert back in '98 and took home knowledge that impacts my drumming to this day. What a phenom. It's amazing what Freddie Gruber was able to do for guys like Steve Smith and Dave Weckl; he helped them transform their playing. So loose and bouncy.

Watched this so many times, and have been so fortunate to see Oz and Dave both together and apart many times. Dave is by far the most musical drummer on the planet for his genre (I would say Vinnie has a slight edge in versatility). But just watch Dave in this video when he supports Oz in his solo...just fills it in with more cymbal and snare fills as Oz progressively takes it up several notches, and every beat in place-incredible. Then there's the drum solo...
