Just came across this video. Awesome job Matthias!

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Jay Oliver Hi Jay! Thank you very much! I feel very honored to get such a compliment from you! It was great fun to play. :-) All the best, Matthias

[@ryancox5097]

Hey Jay. Big fan here, since way back when Masterplan first came out. I'm seeing your comment, wondering if you'd ever consider working with Matthias. I don't know him outside of his KZbin channel, but he seems like he'd be a natural at what you do!

[@drumsandmore4448]

Everywhere I go to watch a Dave Weckl drum cover, there is a great young drummer. Great job. Dave Weckl's influence on drummers is probably the biggest positive influence in modern drumming today and many decades to come.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Drums and more thanks for watching!👍🏻😎

[@海舟-c9u]

such a great cover to watch!! and so much respect to you to have all these cymbals like dave weckl himself do and make most of them.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thank You 🙏🏻

Felicidades...demasiado bueno!!!!

[@carstenmanz302]

Göttlich gespielt, seh mir das Video immer wieder mal an! Ist aber auch einer meiner Lieblings-Tracks von Weckl, so rein musikalisch. Ich war da mal technisch auch "nah dran", dann Handbruch, ein Jahr später Wirbel-Probleme u. schliesslich drei Knie-OPs - sollte einfach nicht sein?! Ganz aufgeben schaffe ich trotzdem nicht, da bin ich zäh. Diese Trommel-Leidenschaft wird man wohl nie mehr los, ich werd vermutlich noch mit 80 Jahren "auf die Pauke hauen"? :-)

[@silent_gamer0817]

Dude, you're already Dave Weckl's greatest successor. If I closed my eyes and hear this video, I would honestly think it's Dave Weckl playing the music. I have been a fan of Dave Weckl ever since. Trying to get a yamaha Kit and sabian cymbals (I'm trying to copy him lol).

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thanks for checking out the video. Yes, Dave is one of my biggest influences and I was lucky enough to meet him in person and get some drum lessons from him. Yamaha makes amazing sounding drumkits. The hooklug feature on the Absolute Hybrid Maple & PHX kits is a game changer. So easy to change drum heads if needed. So please check out those series if you want to buy a new Yamaha kit.

[@silent_gamer0817]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic Will do, can you give me the yamaha kit type. The same that you have please? I would really want to have the full on Dave Weckl Setup.

[@silent_gamer0817]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic By the way, really big fan of your channel. Lately when I want to play Jazz fusion, I would watch your vids to warm up.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

@@silent_gamer0817 thanks so much, really appreciate it :-)

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

@@silent_gamer0817 this one is the Yamaha PHX line. It is only available through custom order at any Yamaha dealer. My Setup is: 10x7 12x8 14x13 floortom 16x15 floortom 18x16 floortom and a 22x18 kick without tom mount. I LOVE this kit. The finish is called "Natural Ash Textured". But there are lots of other stunning finishes available. So check those out as wel.

Excellent playabillity!!I hope you don't stop playing and do your father's job!!I 'm listening too Weckl here! Didn't you make your own band??

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thanks for your kind words. I will for sure not stop playing Drums. Drums are my life & passion. I play in a Fusion/Jazz Trio and some other projects as well. If you want to listen to some examples of the Trio - www.guidowilbers.nl/trio-g-m-c/

Thanks my friend!!Have a summer full of great gigs!!I think you work too many hours for these covers but you 're a talented person!!Keep on the great job!!

[@garybeaulieu4597]

[@markkilmer8606]

Holy, Matthias that was incredible! I am a huge fan of Dave Weckl, and absolutely love this song, and you did it a really great justice. You're right where I want to be with my own playing! SO with that I have a few questions for you: How did you go about putting this together? How close is it to the original part? also I am always blown away by the fill in the original song that starts on the "and" of 3, but I just can't seem to figure out how to piece together what he's doing just by listening. I was just wondering how much listening and copying you did vs playing things that have the same feel.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Hi Mark, I listened to the original Track a few times before I played my own version and tried to capture the vibe of the tune. Then I put my own elements to it. Of cpurse my biggest Influence is Weckl and therefore the parts are pretty similar to the original. The Fill Dave plays (it actually starts on 1 "and") are 32nd note combinations out of doubles in the hands & feet. If you get the play along track yourself you can also get it with a video of dave playing the song. Try to slow it down and watch what he does :-) Hope that helps a little. Cheers, Matthias

[@drumsandmore4448]

How long does it take you to perfect a song like this? What do you to break down a song like this?

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thank you for the question. I actually studied Daves playing quite a few years and practiced about 6 hours a day when I was in school. I listended to this song a lot before I started to play it. And because I had a few great teachers, that tought me all the basics, rudiments, different styles of music (latin, jazz, pop, rock, fusion etc.), how to listen to music, analyze phrasings and learn them I was able to play-along to this song quite quickly. And when I prepare new material, I mainly listen to the songs over & over again until I really memorized it and therefore I do not need to have sheet music in front of me. Sometimes, if there is no time to prepare that well, I also read sheet music. This one I "just played" after listening to the original recording over & over again. Thanks for checking it out!

[@drumsandmore4448]

Matthias, if I try to do this drum cover, and post it, can you critique it for me and tell me what I need to practice on? I have a cheap audio interface and cheap mics but at least I can show you. It won't be nearly as great as your video. I don't have timbales, it would just be the drums. It might take me 1 month to do so, hopefully it wouldn't take that long.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

@@drumsandmore4448 ok

[@BeauFerchaud]

wow! how long have you been playing? and how do you get that professional drum sound?

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

thanks! I've been playing for about 21 years now. The drums go into my Soundcraft Console and after recording I mix it all with Cubase and some UAD Plug-Ins.

[@BeauFerchaud]

I do my own recordings as well but my drums don't have that studio sound to them. I'll have to check out those plug-ins. I've been playing for about 20 years but I'm nowhere near the league of drumming you are in. At first I couldn't tell if you were playing to the track with your drums muted but after asking I now know that is the actual sound you are getting.

[@marckuesters]
