I heard the band live in Germany right outside of Frankfurt. My close friend, Gray Mayfield told me, "we are going to the front!" 2,000 people in an amphitheater and we are the only Americans. I was 12 inches away from Chic and he was the nicest genius I have ever met. There was a child crying in the audience and he added the cry in his solo! I was stupefied that he was that aware. Been a fan of these guys ever since. Once in a lifetime and I owe it all to Gray!

[@junkandcrapamen]

It seems impossible for Dave to play a boring solo. Also, amazing chops played exclusively in service of musicality, not just to show off. Weckl is a genius.

[@kmaclean]

Well said! "played exclusively in the service of musicality, not just to show off." I've never heard this session before and when it opened with a drum solo I was going to skip to the music. But I couldn't. The drummer is mesmerizing in his patterns, plays the spaces...it's beautiful.

[@brianrubin4263]

He's got such finesse and power.

[@ytsurfer4749]

Yes, exactly. Always musical.

[@MrDaveaccord]

Three of the most brilliant musicians ever. RIP Chick.

[@JoeL-de7tx]

Highlight of my playing career was watching the Electrik Band play the Blue Note and sitting no more than 10ft from Dave. Sitting so close you can watch his technique clearly and in real-time. Amazing memory.

[@dtsdigitalden5023]

Dave's drums sounds absolutely magnificent here. And he's displaying such a nice balance between technique and musicality here. Huge fan of Corea, even the stuff before his Akoustic and Elektric bands. This is a great line-up.

[@7777drummer]

Its hard to pick which era is my favorite for Dave but this early 90's time was so good. Also, when he had the Dave Weckl Band he was great too. He was great at holding it all together while playing complex patterns.

[@kmaclean]

Wow. Dave Weckl's chops are incredible, this guy is playing drums on another level.

[@NorbertoMelech]

Its a sound engineer video too!!! the reverb in the snare drum is amazing!

[@howardmishne4840]

The bass player is clearly an alien from another planet. What a solo that was!

[@asagoldsmith3328]

John Patitucci, legend.

[@yazzer4963]

they're all aliens man

[@drumsport]

IMHO, the best soloist today. His feel and textures are extraordinary. His bass drum technique is at least among the best in this solar system.

[@hystrixlignum8983]

More powerful than a complete Philharmonic Orchestra. Dave Weckl....the man!

[@lorenachitic6105]

THIS A POWER TRIO 🎹🎼🎵🎶🎻🥁

[@tortillasarenotbiceps7622]

His feel is unsurpassed. He's been my #1 for 35 years.

[@bholaoates1542]

@Tomi Igo Whatever... mullet ... mallet ... mascot ... musket ... that's it, must get -- I _must get_ the chops to play like that... lol

[@bholaoates1542]

@Tomi Igo Probably a lot easier, huh?

[@bholaoates1542]

@Tomi Igo Good thing I don't have a big igo, or I'd be insulted... lol

[@geopwr5077]

John Patitucci, WOW !

[@Gargoyle3438]

As a drummer I have to say, Chick's mind is quick. Dave of course, exceptional. John outstanding. I guess that about covers the trio. Fantastic playing all around.

[@olivercarlehed]

Corea is a Gemini which explains his quick mind, his Virgo ascendant explains his mind for details. He has a song called Gemini as well.

[@RadiantFutureRecords]

Yes, I agree. Plus his descending perambulative is in Derry&Toms, which I believe explains his long fingers.

[@Hansesc2]

@@olivercarlehed astrology is BS,.. these are great musicians

[@mjulio71]

Always a big fan of Dave, and this is the first time I remember seeing this configuration, with the small timbale instead of an 8" tom and the piggyback cymbal all by itself, not on top of another. He's playing as great as ever, of course.

[@Sam-hf8nq]

Technically and sonically stunning. Truly an awesome display of talent.

[@scotty3034]

His rig never sounded better than this era. And Pattitucci sitting there admiring his playing is so cool.

[@user-hk7hz9cn7v]

The effortlessness from all three is enough to strike fear in the heart of the most advanced musician. It’s from another planet!

[@MrTraderon]

Perfectly said

[@DocPeteMD]

Years of God given talent practice and experience on stage

[@dubenstein6347]

I'm 45 and through my drum instructor I got into weckl in 1990. This brings back so much. Thanks for posting

[@ianroberts3948]

Fantastic power trio .

[@y34r]

Miss you, chick. It always saddens me when I think that you , Dave and John would never produce or perform music together as trio anymore. I bet you always have new project in that amazing mind of yours.your musical legacy will live on forever, return to forever,Chick. That's where you belong.

[@edwnorris]

Just when you thought the musicianship couldn't get any better with Weckl's intro, Corea and Patitucci raise the ante. What an astonishingly stellar trio. Wow.

[@mickgentry8128]

WoW ! Mr Weckl ! Just wow! all three masters, thank you.

[@toolband1992]

AMAZING! F***ING classic DW. The touch, the feel, the creativity - wow. Speechless. He is one of my fav drummers of all time and is one of the best. Thanks a lot as never seen that. :)

[@chrissmith3668]

[@gastoncorti669]

Treinta años después la admiración será perpetua hacia este increíble trío.!!! Por siempre Dave Weckl !!

[@fukaitomohiro7328]

I love him playing Zildjian cymbals.

Absolutely insane from everyone here, love it!

[@dtchinacat3973]

I used to have this on cassette, in my car, and listened to it all the time!

[@mikeelu6503]

Always click on the drum videos well most of the time usually are amazed, wowed, then sad, frustrated and then remorse what if I never got a job, got married had kids and continued with my passion of playing the drums. Still love watching/listening to these amazing drummers

[@RedeyePerc]

Weckl and Patitucci are the GOAT rhythm section for small group jazz, and Chic is just masterful always.

[@ryancox5097]

My God are they killing it on this one. Amazing.

[@chebele69]

[@cleoworley2551]

Drumers and musicians of this higher and elite echelon always leaves me and any comments totally speechless and overwhelmed with no words that would even dare attempt to search hi and low as afar in the languages of the world that I could find to give them true praise and jjustice about the pure and raw like drumming skills they possess!.....Totally speechless I am always left dumb founded!.

[@robertw5749]

This band is crazy good. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it is encouraging to me that even three of the best EVER still get people giving their video a thumbs down.

[@LittleDrummerChannel]

Man this is beauty in motion for sure! Love the visual engagement the guys maintain through the tune...great display of musicianship and awareness! They let Humpty fall with grace. :)

[@MB-uw6eh]

Dave has such marvellous control, weight and timing. Amazing mastery and the Acoustik band albums I own I play over and over primarily to hear Dave’s playing.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Wow Pattitucci is unbelievable.

Drummers? Must be dumbers

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

@@StevenJamesBurks Interesting perspective, man... thanks for sharing that.

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

Steven James Burks ...sure... that’s the beauty of technique. The “out of the drums” approach that Dave has adopted is great for some things... but other times you just need to get in there! 💪🏻

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

@@StevenJamesBurks Cool... What approach is that, that you are studying? I'd love to check it out...

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

[@federicacrisci8018]

John Patitucci, sei esagerato quando suoni, dotato di una tecnica impressionante! Il tuo virtuosismio non cambia se suoni contrabbasso o basso elettrico, sei decisamente grande, grande.....

[@ivellbullock784]

Weckl's solo sound like a storm approaching. Called it a Weckl F5. Such a killing style before you can get damage relief. All vital sounds are good.

[@robertwales2860]

Chick Corea Elektric Band and their Akoustic Band. I Love it all. Well done to drummer DAVE WECKL. I was tutored by the late Jack Harbutt of Adelaide South Australia for percussion. I may not be able to keep up with the pace of DAVE WECKL. what a blast Dave. Thanks for the brilliant solo..Best wishes from Robert ..Adelaide South Australia
