AHHHHH, WECKL. THE MOST TALENTED, CREATIVE, DYNAMIC AND EXCITING DRUMMER OF OUR TIME.

[@jazzpianoman01]

Weckl is the perfect example of how a musician evolves

[@danyrattini406]

Weckl is the most gifted creative drummer ever. Period!!

[@vOnAm]

Weckl my hero. He's got the most dynamic musical solos of all drum solos. Love love love weckl.

[@bufordteejustice1119]

I met Dave at a drum clinic back in 1989. He was touring with Chick Corea and it was a great experience. He is as serious as it gets. His playing is just phenomenal. Thanks for sharing.

[@antoniodigiandomenico4550]

Finally someone who actually provides some useful insights while reacting to a video! And yes Dave is the best drummer ever lol

[@MultiSkyman1]

The guy is from another planet! Endless amounts of great drummers blowing chops on YT, but Weckl's seamless flow, silky smooth licks flowing perfectly through the song is just mind blowing.

[@Stephen.Salamunovich]

Just got an email from Garey yesterday only to hear of his tragic passing last night. Then this video appeared on my KZbin feed. It was a privilege knowing him and my heart goes out to all who had the same privilege and who loved him......

[@user-hk7hz9cn7v]

Dave Weckl and Virgil Donati are the absolute masters. They’re from another planet of drummers

[@siuleopouesi5794]

Dave will always be my favorite drummer but maaaaaan that guitar solo by Oz Noy was incredible

[@psychlos21]

Weckl is a beast. My favorite drummer of all time. He has eloquently channeled of all the great drummers that preceded him.

[@markwilmeth3082]

I found Dave years ago! Went to a clinic of his once and chin was DRAGGING!!!!

[@johnchenky]

Nothing escapes from your eye. You even notice minute detail. Thank you for explaining so beautifully! You are an awesome teacher.

[@nelsono4315]

I have seen Dave many times. As the house photographer at a NYC Jazz club I have been lucky enough to stand to Dave's floor tom side and watch him from the side from less that 10 feet away. He is as good at it gets, simple as that. His technique is damn near flawless. No wasted movements. This is a guy that spent considerable time in the woodshed and it shows. You don't get THIS great by accident. Never tire of watching Dave play and I try to catch him whenever he's in New York.

[@peterknispel4020]

Holy Cow. One of my favorite Drummers/Musicians. I got to go to see him at a drum workshop in my town. Only about a 100 people. sat up close to the front row and got to ask him a couple of questions. what a great work shop and what a nice man. He is extra special with his skills. Thanks Garey

[@freegracetruthembrace7188]

Definition of control = Weckl . Fav .

[@TheSimonScowl]

Possibly my favorite drummer... when I'm not in a Peart/Bonham mood.

[@markwilmeth3082]

You need to be in music mode 1. Rock & Roll 2. Progressive Rock and 3. Jazz/ Fusion!!! ALL MUSIC!!!

[@TheSimonScowl]

@@markwilmeth3082 You left out RIO/Avant-Garde, Krautrock and Canterbury Scenes! ALSO MUSIC!!!

[@markwilmeth3082]

@@TheSimonScowl No I didn't I was just TV trying to get a point across!!! We could go underground, other parts of the world etc..

[@TheSimonScowl]

@@markwilmeth3082 Not sure what to make of your point but cheers!

[@jazzpianoman01]

Good breakdown video Gary

[@gregdecker3518]

FANTASTIC SERIES. THANKS SO MUCH.

[@ediot6969]

Few things to note in addition to what you pointed out below: 1) His command over tuning is unparalleled. 2) His very relaxed touch on the drums is something to be strived for (something you have mastered as well) 3) Playing very simple patterns to the highest level possible - making them sound more complex than they actually are.

[@jazzhole8208]

Miss ya Garey ❤🥁

[@ElmerJFudd-oi9kj]

Piddybee piddybee piddybee, love your comments and your chest beating, very recognizable, we drummers are mostly the same. Some call it nervousness, we call it practising.

[@JFK1180]

I love so many drummers but Weckl is the only one i feel can play ANYTHING at will. He does not seem to have any boundaries at all.

[@TheEleatic]

Omar Hakim can play anything. Weckl is fantastic, but there is a feel to Hakim's playing that moves me every time. Time for a Simon Phillips "analysis" --wow! wow wow! woooow! I also prefer Manu Katche. Weckl sounds a bit machine like to me. Love him on brushes, though.

[@carlesvila8224]

Don't forget Vinnie!

[@claesblomquist3510]

Great.. Thanks for posting Garey. Looking forward for more of this.

[@gareywilliams]

Thanks!

[@Vup10]

Great Tune to pic cause Dave grooves soo hard here (besides from being awesome in every other way). The way he pushes the verse with those 8th notes in the hihat is just so fulfilling.

[@harold4506]

I love this old baldy drummer review guy.

[@peterknispel4020]

Hey Gaey. Have you ever checked out Keith Carlock's drumming. If not.Hey man, worth checking him out

[@DeejayRach0]

Do you have videos on how to hold sticks like a Weckl ?

[@lightningroy]

I used to use his sticks. Got red stains on everything, so I went back to the 5A. Do Antonio Sanchez...Would love to hear what you think about his stuff.

[@dud3man6969]

Please do a reaction to Kanade Sato. She's an amazing young prodigy.

[@Rocker72]

Nice channel man. Very insightful and cool comments on the spot. I appreciate that you don’t like metal - HOWEVER - it’d be so awesome to see you react to, analyze and comment on the Swedish polyrythmic masters and pioneers Meshuggah. The playthrough of the song ”Clockworks” is the one to check out. Thanks in advance! 😎

[@rusmirstrbo1262]

Awesome program my friend. Could you fix your sound transfer from your laptop to the program 🥸😊

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

Does anyone know what happened to Garey? It's 2/25/24 and I haven't seen a video from him in a couple of years. Did anything happen to him? I certainly hope not. He was one of the nicest guys on the internet. I miss his reactions.

[@Lorenzo1950]

Does your chest hurt after reviewing these videos? Just kidding, you do a great job.

[@mexiatexas1]

Gary - I’m sure I am late on this and since this was released in 2014 I figure you’ve heard and featured this a million times...From Dave’s album Convergence it’s Apocolypso...Gary WTF??????? When the tune hit’s 4:40 they have to put me in a straight jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kardRatzinger]

Thumbs up for Michael Rhodes

[@gregorymyers2065]

I would like you to react to Todd Sucherman of Styx.

[@ronaldgenendlis6423]

I would love you to listen to city nights by Holdsworth with vinnie on drums. I guarantee you won’t figure that song out. It’s insane. And also listen to Bruce Lee by vinnie as well. Enjoy your videos.

[@MichaelAChang]

Dave Weckl is also a favorite of mine. I'd love to hear your take on Kirk Covington: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYi7l2WceLSKe6M There is also a drums only version of the same piece: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYq7gKyHrZJ6mJY

[@arnieperez1186]

Nice to see you doing reaction videos. I would have preferred this Weckl drum solo to have been the one you gave an analysis to. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3TLd3Z5asR_qtU

[@jeline55]

Great series. Would love your reaction/breakdown to Lee Pearson's solo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXepaZhuqb10ec0

[@florisliesker]

Is it just me or is Dave dragging a bit from about 3:20 to 3:40? It feels a tad too slow to me.

[@robertfennis6088]

Didn't hear it. Sounded perfect to me

[@tomkaufman3914]

He aint all that bad.

[@cactus9362]

JAZZ FUSION QUER COISA PIOR! BAGUNÇA DO CARALHO, TEM MÚSICA NENHUMA NESSA PORRA.

[@chuckpeterson552]

Yes he is a captivating drummer but no Peart..!

[@ico8272]

Ridiculous

[@gabebabe1]

Dreadful, soul-less, white bread blues. I love Weckl, but this is impossible to listen to.

[@PlayAcousticDrums]

You need to expand your Wecklness. He is just playing what's presented. I agree dry and a bit boring for him, way below his capability. One of the best on the planet IMHO.
