Dave Weckl/Tom Kennedy Project: "Espiritu del Songo" LIVE 2021

[@toddabrahams6694]

Dave makes the most difficult grooves look like child’s play, the ultimate professional and technically a drum genius, WOW

[@banburydrumtuition8651]

Couldn't agree more. The most complete drummer out there. He can move from one genre with ease. Although, I've not seen him play thrash metal. A few hours with a metal specialist, I'm sure, would change that. 😂

[@robluvsdrums]

Dave Weckl is our generation’s Buddy Rich!!!

[@michelegrassi4385]

I saw them yesterday; for me Weckl is the best drummer of all time

[@ididyermom3273]

How Dave remembers all of these hits for all of the songs is the most amazing thing about him.

[@michaelhenchman]

Totally. One of things I love most about Dave's super-tight playing. Going clear back to the Electrik Projekt days with Chick, he was always on top of the stabs and pushes in the arrangements. Just killer.

[@hendrir]

And every hit he strikes is spot on. And I mean 'every' hit.

[@luisolivares8717]

Lenguaje musical, así como no pensamos como hablar y simplemente lo hacemos... así el, domina ese idioma y simplemente habla en el instrumento.

[@danyrattini5518]

Dave is a real BEAST on the drum kit . IMO the best ever .

[@christopherwashington7668]

That horn section was tighter than new drawers though!

[@Adrian_Franco]

I truly can't think of anyone with better chops.

[@blaineleon9342]

Dave is the GOAT!

[@GeorgeJazzVideos]

Dave is the man with the plan. I have seen Chick play several times but unfortunately never with Dave, it just never happened for me. Chick, Dave and John was the greatest jazz trio of all time for me. I realize its personal taste and everyone has their favourites, but for me....that was the greatest....and my greatest regret is never seeing them together. Perhaps in the next life. That would be an awesome welcome into heaven! 😊👍

[@predragrajic7523]

@@GeorgeJazzVideos agree with you completelly. I saw Chick only ones in this life, and it was with Dave 😊

[@brookelyn7714]

Every musician on that stage is a master of his instrument and perfecter of his craft!

THE BASS SOUNDS UNREAL, THE TONE IS SUBERB

[@bchar913]

Tom is the BEST, every note he plays is brilliant.

[@soulslaveone]

The whole f....band is superb!:) World class, every single one of them:)

[@Yetipfote]

I know it is!!! :o

[@angelovenuto3049]

Yes it does. Smooth tone

[@marcvdbosch1802]

Its not only the tone. They did an impro jam today and the licks runs and the scales that Kennedy gets out of that bass are incredible. He plays like a violist on his bass. Double stops, runs so fast that you think: ok is this still a bass. And yes with an incredible tone.

[@SoundAloneband]

Weckl sounds like 3 people playing percussion drums and whatever else. My word. Complex is easy for this man. Excellent players all around here. Top notch

[@Michael-xw4er]

This guy's dedication and work rate, not to mention talent, has made him one of the worlds greatest. Always a pleasure to watch and listen to!

[@jeroenkoopmans3794]

Dave Weckl. Unmatched.

[@joeldrummer23]

The horn section is amazing

[@jeroenhein8349]

Not only the horn section…

[@michelesturtevant]

crisp, precise, clear. not enough adjectives to describe these horns, not mention the amazing rest of the band

[@edoardozampetti4601]

[@LDdrums20]

How can one possible remember so many accents like that. Incredible!

[@davevroege3962]

My new favorite video on the internet.

[@oneanddone7992]

No drummer is as relaxed - if not almost ready for a nap - than Dave as he plays some of the most brilliant drumming in modern music. His fluidity on the drumset is like a dance being played on them.

[@deaterk]

Whoa! The mix is absolutely incredible!!! Sounds like a studio recording rather than a live recording! Great song, great players, great mix! 👍🏼✌🏼

[@1bluetomato]

Music will save this world, i tell you..brothers

[@banburydrumtuition8651]

Musicianship just doesn't get any better....PERIOD!!! It's a level that very few attain across multiple genres.

[@petershim5900]

Stop Right There! 😭 OH Jesus! The trumpets couldn't get tighter than that! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@royaldomain4055]

Dave Weckl is flawless. Music provides joy. Thus God created Dave Weckl & saw it was good.

[@tommysonnier9848]

A comment that brought a smile on my face!

[@Charles-hh2gy]

This is what jazz is all about

[@Leonardo5933]

Best drummer ever!!!,,,and that Brass Line!!.....spot on!!!....fantastic!!!

[@michelegrassi4385]

i totally agree with you

[@aaronhorvath3291]

First and foremost great writing and arranging of that song and also fantastic musicianship that's one great song

[@evrimtunger4810]

what a beautiful performance by Weckl and Kennedy!! nowadays you are able to discover so many great drummers. they are so talented and playing so fast that blown your mind away. but they don't give you the feeling that you are listening something unique. this is what makes drummers like Weckl special. he is not only a great drummer but he is also a great artist on any level. from his first work "master plan" to today he is getting better and better. still hoping to get their last Elektric Band project with Chick Corea soon. Cheers.

[@OneWayTruthLife]

Wow, best drummer of our time, hands down!

[@tommysonnier9848]

Buddy Rich was great but Dave is way more interesting to me.

[@michelegrassi4385]

best drummer of all time :)

[@yawkrap10]

Nobody better than Dave Weckl !!!!

[@waltiw.1860]

Phantastic horn section - wow!!...

[@chrispickens8177]

I am a hudge fan of Dave Weckl! So smooth!

[@audioworkshop1]

How is this humanly possible? Most groups trying to play a complicated Latin piece would have an additional 3 percussion men trying to keep up... Dave just made them all obsolete! Bravo!

[@alanpecherer5705]

Ever since I found this tune I have to listen to it at least once a week. Awesome.

[@lorenzrosenthal119]

Tom Kennedy is one of my absolute favorite bass players today.

[@leszekdormanowski5313]

Super. Super

[@MrDaveaccord]

What a band. Dave gets better every year. He's the total package as a drummer and a musician.

[@DMH031956]

Viva Slovenia and Austria! überragend!! verwunderlich!!

[@volkanoztuzun9609]

I was there! Amazing. Such a joy, to be able to see and listen the sound of living legends.

[@user-hp8yj9ro1c]

Diamond Dave. He plays like liquid lightening

[@tortillasarenotbiceps7622]

Honestly, this is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. Those trumpets add another dimension altogether. As per always, Dave is superb on drums, as is the band equal to the task. Bravissimo!!!

[@MrFg1980]

Everything about this was awesome !

[@gregparrott]

How a quartet of players can jump in to a band that's new to them, playing such complex music, and perform flawlessly from the start, is beyond me

[@1973833]

Weckl on the top of the game….last 30 yrs…amazing….

[@jaywinestein7768]

Stu is a feakin' beast ...logical extension of Chick...Bobby love that sequencer thing, cool as hell not over done. Playing ur as off And jfc.. Dave and Thom holy macaroni

Dave Weckl il più grande batterista che sia mai esistito!!

[@davidwinthrop7077]

Absolutely superb! Great brass and sax combined with the tightness and incredible groove and feel provided by Dave, Tom and Stu. If Buddy Rich had still been with us he would have wanted to cover this with his big band!

[@CindiCindi15]

Dave is the smoothest drummer known to man. I never tire of listening to him! Absolutely amazing stuff!

Impressionante come Dave si ricorda tutto senza leggere!!!! 💪Great!

[@michelegrassi4385]

guarda li ho visti ieri sera qui alle porte di Roma, sono una cosa impressionante. hanno suonato "solo" un ora e mezza, nel senso che avrei voluto che suonassero di più, ma ci hanno ammutoliti tutti... Dave Weckl sembra che stia giocando con una batteria giocattolo per bambini, e ne ho visti di batteristi fenomeni dal vivo, tipo Damien Schmitt, Gergo Borlai ma anche Jason Rullo e il famoso anche se meno ipertecnico Mike Portnoy, ma Dave è proprio di un altro pianeta ! Hai presente la velocità e la facilità apparente di un maestro di arti marziali mentre si allena? beh se la risposta è si, quello è Weckl quando suona dal vivo:)

[@isaacwatts5509]

[@jacobyjackson3530]

I’ve always been a Dave Weckl fan!! When I was in High School…Dave was on drums with the Buddy Rich Big Band…needless to say, I got to eat dinner with him and get kick lesson…I was playing in a Youth-All Star jazz band in Harrisburg, Pa; underneath the Central Pennsylvania Friends of Jazz…I got to play Dave’s brand new out the box Yamaha Kit; that’s when he was playing that green kit…and he was still with Zildjian Cymbals…I also got to test out, what eventually became the K Custom Hybrid line…still have the drum head Dave signed for me and the sticks (red Vic Firth’s) he gave me that night.

[@abelmoran2500]

This is Really Amazing,Every Musician are perfect !!!

[@ExtremeRecluse]

Excellent tone from all of the horns. Sounds like an organ playing; so balanced. You think it was easy with all of that syncopation? I loved this Latin fusion.

[@DCronk-qc6sn]

Super hero playing. Holy crap, awesome.

[@MNDrummer]

One of the greatest drummers of all time. Simply amazing performer and extremely talented individual. One of the greatest drummers of all-time and an honor to be able to see his performances. I still have a couple Weckl CDs and they are awesome........ I now have many of those same tunes on my Spotify list!

[@henryrichards1542]

Magnificent all around!
