weckl practically reinvented drumming during the 80's

[@kcorpora1]

Lmao, bullshit. He reinvented triggers!

[@nohaste4me]

Yes he did ! The Worlds greatest drummer at that time !!

[@harryhagman6063]

THOSE SIX STROKE ROLLS ARE PHENOMENAL THE FINESSE TECHNIQUES

[@keithhaldane9794]

Yup!!

[@swangonzalez4797]

He took fusion drumming to the highest level then and now. To this day, though a lot of people wouldn't admit it, most fusion drummers want to be like Dave and try to play like Dave whether they are aware of it or not. He was definitely influenced by Steve , Peter and many that he looked up to when he was young, but man Dave blew them all away, with the exception of Buddy off course. There is no fusion drummer more exciting to watch. When you think of drumming perfection you think of Dave. Arguably the most musical drummer. It's hard to think of anyone better. There will always be Vinnie and Dennis for close comparison, but I doubt Dave will ever be surpassed.

[@vgaportauthority9932]

Absolute musical genius. No one has ever had the flow that weckl has. His playing is soooo dynamic, his fills come in as waves, not like "fills." He moves around the kit so smoothly, and he's even better now than back then in that respect. Loved watching him play ever since I bought Back to Basics in the mid 90s.

[@MP57719]

😮😮

[@williamperri3437]

He’s phenomenal! Different now than back in the 80’s… Better? That’s subjective, but I agree he’s better. I’m thinking my first instructional drum video ever was “back to basics” as well in 1991. I picked up my first progressive drum Phil from that video. I guess you would say it was my earliest example of playing an ostinato even though I didn’t know what that was. It was the Phil that he would do from his high Tom to his snare often. His signature fill with his left hand wacking the snare to complete the fill.

[@steffenbrix]

I prefer his passion and sound back here....but incredible always

[@jackjonesdrums42]

The sound of 80's Weckl is the sound of pure bliss.

[@jonathanharrington7950]

The start of an amazing future ahead.

[@jessebillson]

Who played like this before this??

[@robertpien8708]

You can hear a lot of Steve Gadd in Weckl playing if you listen closely. Back then . Great use of Dynamic overtones and Different groupings creates a great flow of great ideas. Thanks for posting this solo Presentation.

[@polodrums94]

Gadd and à little bit of Erskine too..

[@beardedcatman]

Still impressive 34 years later. Killer sound too!

His drum tones tho...dang. Weckl was like the logical evolution of the style that Steve Gadd pioneered...#respect

[@RandomlyDrumming]

For me, Dave Weckl is the GOAT of drumming. No other drummer I have ever heard achieved this level of fluidity and all-around proficiency and versatility with multiple genres of music. Dave has everything - speed, chops, groove, dynamics,...and he can does it all so effortlessly. The god of drums!

[@ryanmooncat3949]

So great. So lucky to have this footage so long later. Historical. Drummers will study Weckl for centuries.

[@KONAMAN100]

What a video! Fantastic solo, really original. Name me as another drummer with as many recorded solos, with as much variation, technique and perfection as the Weckl library. Thought not. Numero uno.

[@alexbonahue3322]

Vinnie Colaiuta, Tony Williams, Jimmy Cobb, Peter Eskine, philly Joe Jones, Steve Gadd, Brian Blade, Marcus Gilmore

[@topflightstyle4141]

[@StephenSpivack]

man he's so good. love his drums too, especially the 8" rack tom

[@polodrums94]

Only 26 at the time...

[@REPUBLICANSAREBEYONDSTUPID]

Even in 86 his drums sound just as good as today. Even before all of the technology.

[@Amigaudio]

Audio technology was at its peak in the 80s. The only reason why Dave sounded a little less great than today was because some one else was doing the audio mixing and not himself

[@alejandrofichetti9466]

Beginning with Chick Corea Elektric Band "Side Walk"👍

[@paulmorris5663]

Still loving watching this after all these years. Fantastic then, is still fantastic and will always be. Thanks Dave

[@clintonevans2226]

I love watching Weckl because he just digs himself so deep in the pocket and then spends 10 mins digging himself out again. So much fun to watch.

[@JRock1900]

His aggressive yet smooth playing style in the 80s and 90s were in away much better than his recent less aggressive playing style. In the 80s and 90s he took risks and tried many new things which were way ahead of his times. Certainly it was more fun to watch then. Lately his playing has been a more laid back type of playing (still great, but not like the 80s and 90s.

[@bpooboi]

He stores all his power in his mullet. Once that eagle starts flying better watch out

[@ChristopherDillman]

God bless KZbin. Anytime I need my fix from the mullet era of Dave, I find it right here. 🔥

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

Anyone else got the Modern Drummer +1 on cassette and then went "excuse me?" when Sheryl Crow became famous?

[@jamesnewman6032]

Spur of the moment and island magic.....classics. I remember getting the little black vinyl in a copy of MD back in the 80s... still have it somewhere 🤔

[@marcgregoryneville]

Right? But the album didn’t come out until a few years later. So interesting. Yeah, I’ve been listening to Dave since ‘86 when I heard “Got a Match’ on the radio.

[@jamesnewman6032]

@@marcgregoryneville got a match on the radio? Wow, doubt that has been played on the radio for decades!

[@marcgregoryneville]

Yep. KLON, Long Beach, CA. It was when the first Elektric Band Album had come out. Good times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KKJZ

[@phillamoore157]

Yes! I remember that too! Such an incredible time in music...

[@hanbo123]

His musical vocabulary on the drums is second to none. Effortless riffing and ultra-smooth flow. If I could play like him, it would be like flying in a dream come true. Crazy-town drummer.

[@ryancox5097]

I don't know what's smoother, his playing or that hair.

[@dalezjc]

He does more with his left hand than most guys do with both hands.

[@mr.malapropismus1220]

Came for the mullet, stayed for the grooves.

[@stephenlandry9061]

Musicians get better with time , Dave has always been better , he’s so smooth

[@leandrovergara]

Lejos pero lejos el mejor baterista para mi, desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad! Sigue vigente!!

[@c3N3q]

Y que tal lejos pero lejos detrás está Virgil Donati? Aunque sí, DW inventó la mayoría de los trucos que hay. Y sigue pateando traseros, con su cabello blanco 😉 Masterplan es un plan maestro de verdad, creo yo.

[@josequintero5877]

@@c3N3qVirgil Donati es el padre de los chops de hoy en día. Pero no de coña supera a Dave Weckl. De lejos, el mejor baterista de la historia. Solo por detrás (para mi) del mejor baterista de todos los tiempos, que es el padre todo, Buddy Rich

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

There is absolutely no discrepancy between a concept Dave can conjure and his physical faculties in being able to pull off anything his mind can conceive. He is a true Master. One of the greatest drummers to ever live. His feel and smooth playing style are unmatched.

[@chrismccraven4059]
