One of the greatest drummers of our time. Such groove and precision.

The sheer consistency of that drumming. Holding the band together when needed, soloing when needed. Simply a lesson.

This is so off the damn hook. Absolute monsters. Dave is so fluid and musical. His dynamics are off the charts. His time is spot on. What more could you ask for?

What a GREAT right hand 16th notes groove on hi-hats. He doesn’t miss a stroke. Not so easy to play this with that speed. It is around 90 with a timer. He is so relaxed. Playing this groove is like drinking water for him. He is the best👌👌👌👌

At 1:35 Dave smiled! He is the glue that keeps the band in pocket and he knows it 😊

Weckl is truly one of the all time greatest. So relaxed, so smooth. He's as close to perfect as you can get!

So tasty; and that tone!

My late friend and drummer, Tom Parisi, used to live in an apartment next door to Dave in New Rochelle NY. We used to listen to Dave practice through the walls ;-). He was amazing then but not yet famous. Not long after that I got a chance to jam with Dave at the Crazy Horse Cafe in New Rochelle. Not long after that he was playing with Chick Corea. The rest is history. Congrats on a remarkable career.

And that bass player Dave set you out. Yall are incredible.💯🥁🎸💯 NO DOUBT

Just unreal. Such freedom, such groove.

So nice to see that even Dave Weckl plays rooms where the game is on in the background. Also he’s on another level

Dave's supernatural command of time and coupling it with something akin to silky stylistic phrasings that are incomprehensible to mere mortal drummers is astonishing. Sometimes all you can do is say "Wow".

Dave is top 5 best word drummer

Always amazing groove, dynamics, sound! This is just Dave Weckl.

Love this Dave! Dave 3:09 wow nice!! 👍👍💯

A whole new level of deep pocket on classic grooves. Simply stellar!

Weckl never does anything on a drumkit just to show off what tricks he can do. Everything, including soloing, that he does is in service to the song. One of the best out there.

This is lyrical drumming, natural, flowing, structured, creative, meaningful. Oh, and extremely watchable! Love it!

Dave has always been the smoothest drummer ever 😎😎

Glory be, that’s good stuff. Damn.

Dave gives off a persona that he'd be a master of any career choice he would have made. He's truly a gifted but serious artist. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us!!!

Been following Dave since I started playing in 1980. He NEVER ceases to amaze me. Clean, articulate, precise, musical and GROOVE.

Well, off to the kit, inspired by Dave Weckl......again!!! 🥁😆 that was fantastic!

I love it when he uses his groove, accents and dynamics rather than speed. It would be great for Dave to play a jazzette to show his infinite talent and pocket on a Soul album, including, of course Use Me. I would spend many, many nights in this place listening and cheering for this band....

Just woke up and caught this vid!! My day couldn’t have started out more perfectly as this groove and overall performance with the sublime solo as me smiling and my head bobbin’!!! LUV IT!!! 🔥❤️👏👏🙌

I must say, it looks like Dave is having a blast , just groovin’ , he looks genuinely happy …..great to witness

Great Band! I could watch and listen to J. King all day.

Dave is just incredible

Smokin! This was pure class....pro musicians in the pocket all the way, and the audio recording on this is first class too....thanks for posting!

KZread has been feeding me this video pretty much daily for the past few weeks. Probably because I watch it every time, huh?

This is the context where you can appreciate great players like Mr. Weckl. No amount of chops in the world can demonstrate how good you are if can't interact smoothly with other musicians. Hats off to all musicians on the video. Keep music live!

Just imagine...you're on a layover in St. Louis and your connecting flight got cancelled...so you figure you'll hit the town for a few hours and find a hot band to pass the time. You walk into some place called the Sky Music Lounge...and Dave Effin Weckl ...THE BEST DRUMMER IN THE EFFING WORLD...is playing that night with a smokin hot quintet. Heaven! Even just on a casual gig...Dave's playing is a dream. Effortless, smooth, tight, musical (and the sound of the kit...wow!!!)...if there is such a thing as a perfect drummer...Dave is it!

Great to see Weckl lay back on a solid groove like this

Perfect groove, perfect playing! 🥃

The entire band is excellent. That bass player would be great to work with, what a musician. Now about Dave, he's a monster. So relaxed, smooth, tasteful, and yet powerful. I love the doubles he plays around the set with double bass drum hits (one pedal) interspersed. Fantastic.

Dave weckl has the touch of incredible…. The way he grooves, then hit the accents with a few tasty licks. Speed, power, odd time , splitting across the toms and the cowbell. The cowbell seemed so out of place the first time I heard him use it, but he make a cool texture out of it. Now it barks with another tone, keeping time or establishing the off the bell realm. He is always polished with drums sounding great!!!

Amazing Groove ❤❤

as always, The Best!

This has to be the best performance of Use Me of all time!!!

Grooooooooove, for days!!

what a great interpretation of this classic song

Dave Weckl King 🥁❤🎷🎧

And that ladies and gentlemen is why Dave Weckl is the GOAT!!!

You guys are soo-o-o-o tight. Amazing. John king ~ How funky and sexy is that bass tone. It just throws me for a loop.

I really think dat Dave is born with a pacemaker in his body...... drumming around the beat in every possible way but always back on time, tight as a duck's ass....😂 loving it

DAVE!!!! What a band. What a groove. Love it, want to hear and see more 😍

Master Weckl !

That is some of the most tasteful drumming you will ever hear!! No wonder he’s one of my favorite drummers!

Great version 👌

Excelent work!!! Nice Groove guys.

Dave pense la batterie comme n'importe quel autre instrument de musique ...Toujours progresser , Il donne à la batterie , lui et quelques autres batteurs les lettres de noblesse à la batterie , tellement son jeu est précis ,fluide ,et maîtrisé ... Un maître incontestable et incontesté , de plus pour l'avoir rencontré en France , il est très modeste et simple humainement . superbe concert ici ! Merci cher Dave ! Mes amitiés de France !(un ami d'André Ceccarelli , batteur -compositeur et professeur )

Dave your always in the pocket. Love your playing

Incredible grooving band!!!!

Such a commanding presence! He can play a single kick every sixteen bars and still groove!

This was a fantastic show! This group is a ton of fun to watch. Dave's always amazing but the group has some terrific players and together they are a treat to watch.
