"Struck By Lightning" Dave Weckl Drum Cams Version

[@krenwregget7667]

There's a reason Dave is so many other drummers' favorite drummer.

[@janetremsing6988]

👍🙂‼️Indeed!!!!

[@janetremsing6988]

👍🙂Dave's the shiznittle-bam-snip-snap-shiznit!!!!

[@Jerry-oo8hd]

Yeah. He’s musical.

[@Jerry-oo8hd]

I find this amusing. When I want inspiration, I’ll run one of his videos. I can not play anything like he can- But because of the utter ease at which he does play, it embues me to sit down and mentally construct an ease before I even strike the head. He’s the only guy that works on me that way.

[@JCtheMusicMan_]

I’m a bassist and he is my favorite drummer 😂❤

[@dray4393]

Dave has been the man for 40+ yrs. I've been listening to him since I was 9yrs old. I am 50yrs old now and like fine wine, he gets better with time.

[@alonzodavila6233]

I'm 57 and just like you I've listened to Dave for many yrs....His chops are sweet and his groove is timeless.

[@MrDaveaccord]

Dave is the total package, one of the best on the planet.

[@fredbass77]

The best

[@fredbass77]

Listen to Master Plan and the CCEB's albums, listen to Tale of Daring in the album Inside Out, there is no drummer to play like that on Chick's music

[@doubts]

​@@fredbass77 Nobody sounds like any of the other guys chick played with. I just heard the 73 RTF line up with Gadd. Out of this world.

[@Amigaudio]

He is not one of the best. He is the best.

[@sonicart1808]

Technique, feel, pocket, groove etc.... Dave has it all, this is pure dedication we are watching here, look how relaxed he is when playing....Bravo!

[@MultiSkyman1]

What more can you say about Weckl? I have been playing over 40 years and can blow chops and licks all day in the practice room like a lot of cats out there. But laying it down with time, feel, precision and flow in an actual song like Weckl can? He kills it every time! A true "one of a kind" DW is!

[@Vitone22]

One thing is knowing how to play an instrument, another is to master it. You’re seeing a true master!

[@Andrew_M_Ward]

I love that we can get so close nowadays When I purchased the album Master Plan in the 90's I just could not figure out how he was doing what he was doing ... Being able to actually see him play up close is really a pleasure and brings to life the pure magic that is his mastery

[@TyMan922]

The three things that immediately come to my mind when I hear Weckl: precise, musical, imaginative.

[@wcreview8227]

Dave you make everythig look so easy.. My Wife and I met you at the I.M.A.C Theater in Long ISland.. you did a Gig w Steve Smith and he had to split early.. you were in the lobby waiting for a ride and you hung w my wife and I for like 20 min and BS'd Im SURE you dont remember but I sure do.. Thanks for being so gracious and for being my Favorite drummer in the world

[@groethej]

Smooth as silk and so in the pocket, as per usual! He makes it look ridiculously easy. It's not that groove is really difficult, it's just the way he articulates his message 'musically'. Dave's playing has transcended the technical aspect of drumming, he's simply having a wise and beautiful conversation.

[@markwright5969]

The fluency and ease of touch, dynamics! while retaining all that drive. Fabulous 👏🏼

[@thelucid3444]

GREAT PIECE! I started following this drummer when I first saw him at the Buddy Rich memorial hosted by Buddy's daughter Cathy. Steve Gadd & Vinnie Colaiuta were on the bill. I still think of Dave as a sticking engineer with some of the most incredible feeling finesse chops on the planet. I can't get tired of watching him play.. I've learned so much from observing his hands...

[@emanuelemartinelli2330]

Ci sono uomini che provengono da un altro pianeta e Dave è uno di questi che bello essere contemporaneo con questo batterista eccezionale

[@bryanbigger9]

I know every drummer has a different style but all things being equal, I think Dave is the best drummer alive.

[@adamz3090]

It looks so easy and effortless. But its 50+ years of practicing and experience in all the genres u can ever imagine. Insane control, musicality and creativity. Legend

[@mattesrockt8054]

The Maestro on his Instrument! 63 Years young and better than ever....

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Every time I hear your playing, it's at a higher level of "beautiful and excellent". Always a pleasure, Dave!

[@smdftb8495]

Dave's drums always sound so good. I can watch him forever.

[@honuman39]

He's just the most musical player. The vocabulary is effortless, it's all dynamic, tasteful, exceptionally well performed and the sound of his kit is spot on. The most advanced and mature playing at the highest of levels. For my money the best there is. There's arguments to be made and I don't truly believe in a best drummer when there's so much talent but when I hear Dave's playing it always seems really special.

[@henryr506]

Dave Weckl will always be my favorite, it brings me a smile when I hear his drum lines.

[@ratamacueseven]

1 thing he does that makes him so, so Brilliant is he is so relaxed in his playing ! Brilliant Drummer !

[@RushianRichard]

The Master...always delivers! 🤩

[@Robert-ck7nm]

Dave is a musical genius in his working clothes. That's why he can make it look so easy to groove with endless creativity, and flow.

[@enricovarraflythegroove]

Dave Wecklislike a great wine, always improving …. That’s incredible

[@RolfWamFjell]

Graceful movements with such a powerful sound. Inspiring!!! Thank you.

[@SonorDesignerDrummer]

Thank you for posting, there is so much to learn from watching the master at work. Always impressed and amazed at just how relaxed he is playing all manner of music.

[@odonnemt]

In 1995 my family took a trip to DC and my parents, knowing my interest in music, got us tickets to a jazz club. The Mike Stern trio. They saw an ad in the paper. I remember before the show hearing a guy say into the pay phone, "we're about to see the best drummer in the world." That's the first time I heard Dave Weckl play and my life hasn't been the same since.

[@romangarcia608]

dominant for decades; a buddy of mine on our HS jazz band played the Masterplan for me and i was blown away (in like 1992) - he’s still got it!!

[@RandomlyDrumming]

Beautiful playing! So tasteful with so much groove.

[@GoranRista]

A wonderful, musical performance, Dave, as always!

[@geogroove1]

I meet Dave back in 1985 at a swiss TV music show where I had the chance to give him my beloved Yamaha Custom Recording Drums to play on. I spend a few days sitting behind Dave with my mouth open and still today he blows me away.....what a exceptional Talent......

[@batero-mikev]

Dave Weckl is a great master of the drums.. I always remember when I heard his performances with Chick Corea.. Another Master.. In that famous band Electrica.. An unthinkable dream of musical performance.. He will always be a great reference!!

[@fredbass77]

Wow, that's the fusion i love. Dave you have so much possibilities and you serve the music! Master! Congrats to everyone on this killing tune. Very cool the break in 6/8! Thx for sharing !!

[@jamsjr44]

Will always be one of my favorites I’ve been listening to for over 40 years!

[@tjeffers99]

Met Mr. Weckl when I worked at Thoroughbred Music in Tampa back in the late 80's....One of the best ever in my opinion.

[@coreyroberts-drummer2532]

Just freaking perfect in every way.

[@danyrattini2234]

I ‘be been taught that perfection doesn’t exist , but Dave …imo the GOAT .

[@HystrixLignum]

Dave always reminds me that the drums are a musical instrument, not a noise machine.

[@stevendunton5520]

I could watch Dave play all day. His playing is so graceful & smooth.

[@dougcain250]

What a great groove, it swings.

[@MrDarkstar620]

The Butterfly Drummer. Thank you Mr. Weckl. Always refreshing. Now back to the drum pad. :)

[@JoryBlake]

Smooth like silk

[@davemieze9021]

The precision and fluent hand and foot technique is undoubtedly the stuff of legend.

[@phatbackbeat6553]

.., just WONDERFUL !

[@keyboardtek]

His drums and the mic set up always sounds so good!

[@davemieze9021]

The tastefully intuitive fills and the flow is just beautiful

[@solaufein3029]

I think I've been underestimating Dave my whole life. Awesome drummer.

[@perryhailey6715]

I love how effortless he makes it look. A master of his craft 🥁

[@MindTravelsChannel]

Magnificent drumming, as usual!

[@binkwood]

Dave Weckl is an F'n monster because of his musical chops, not his technical chops. There are a lot of guys with crazy mechanical chops that don't have the musical chops. Tony Williams, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd, and Dave Weckl are guys that successfully bridge musicality with good chops.

[@jcamp348]

Well, what can one say? Dave never gets old, he's the king of smooth and silk. He owns those drums and is literally an artist on any canvas! I dig his groove and he's always right there in the pocket!

[@grege9862]

Dave makes everything look so fluid and effortless.

[@BobbyJetty1502]

I loved going into Guitar Center here in San Diego because I always knew the drum department had those DCI VHS tapes playing on a loop. They had Omar Hakim, Dave weckl and Vinnie. The early 90s all the fusion gave me so many endless ideas to incorporate as I was just starting my professional career as a weekend warrior. I remember when my favorite kits was a Premier XPK 5pc kit beautiful turquoise silver wrap. And the shells were just under size, which helped them tune to a very true pitch. I wish I still had that kit. I was roundabout 16 or 17 at that time, and what a good time it was to be a drummer.

[@Thebilliardman]

I love this whole track but my favorite is that sick intro!! I was fortunate enough to go to a Clinic Dave held in the early 90's. He done this one handed single stroke roll that absolutely blew me away!!!

[@williemammoth11]

Dave Weckl, as revered as he is, is yet somehow still under-rated outside of some musical circles. He's just gotten better over time, still to today, and his mastery is so fluid and groovy yet dynamically brilliant too. And here he's playing some matched grip even! Someone else here commented this and they're exactly correct: There's a reason Dave Weckl is so many drummers' favorite drummer.

[@leonardowolff2177]

Listening to this man changed completely what i knew was posible to do on drums. Changed my drumming!

[@jodymartin9912]

I've been a professional for over 40 years... no way to denie the man's presence in the best of the best!!!

[@mauriziopavanelli9069]

Dawe è senza ombra di dubbio il batterista più completo al mondo. Il suo talento, la sua dedizione, la sua determinazione e il suo studio lo hanno portato ad essere il FUORICLASSE dei batteristi al mondo.

[@percywoods3167]

Been listening to Dave Weckl since 1992 when I first heard his "Heads Up" album which is by far one of the best albums of all time. I still listen to it to this day and play that album during class as students are coming in or during a group project! They love his music!! Awesome job on this song Dave! Thank you for inspiring millions of us! Speaking of which, my entire style of playing drums changed when I heard your "Heads Up" album. Didn't know a drummer could play like that! Anyway, thank you Dave! Keep playing brother!!

[@nelsono4315]

I have seen Dave numerous times and he is one of the best I have seen and one of my all-time favorites. A pro's pro

[@obedkojoosei-tutu9991]

Dave weckl playing match🤦🏾‍♂️🔥🔥🔥💯💯

[@mauromarionbizzotto]

Flawless musicianship! Inspiring performance 💎

[@charlesgarnhum6963]

Dr.Dave Weckle on the drums! Just what the doctor ordered! Thank you Sir! 🥁👍

[@chrisyounce1815]

Who is the GOAT? Thats subjective but if you don't have Dave Weckl in the top 10 of all time, you're wrong. No soup for you!

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

40+ years and still my #1. No one compares for my taste.

[@mellorymeyer8876]

so many drum masters. Jazz is the best style for best drummers. Absolute groove

[@CalRichards]

Fun to see Dave switching between traditional and matched grip here. Beautiful artistry and finesse as ever.👏

[@remito71]

Great drummer, but great musician too ❤

[@oneanddone7992]

Aside from all of the normal accolades regarding Dave's brilliance, he is (feel free to chime in) the most relaxed drummer I have ever seen.

[@scotth560]

Brilliant song! Love the progressions.

[@holygeneration7]

@scotth560 I thought I was the only one loved the tune !! It really is a happy sounding tune, not technical just to show off at all.

[@daviddicara991]

I have been in love with this man since I first heard him at 12 years old. At first I thought he was all about the chops. After I spent years copying everything he did, I realized he's not about the chops but the phrasing. The thing that makes Dave so magical is his phrasing. Yes, he has fast hands and wonderful coordination but once you develop your technique to a certin point the thing that keeps you interested in his playing is his phrasing and time feel and decisions he makes to make the song sound its best...Love you Dave, I will always be a fan!

[@holygeneration7]

I still dont know what "phrasing" means in drumming? ....thanks.

[@sambiancuzzo7264]

THE KING OF NAILING IT

[@TheYeetusLord]

Just absolutely phenomenal!

[@wjimz]

I remember when my son who is now 39 yrs old, was around 10 and I took him to a show in Sacramento to hear Dave play. Mr. Weckl was tearing it up and my son turned around and said "dad how come I hear two drummers playing?" 😂 He literally thought there were two drummers playing because he was so fast.

[@Baserri]

Nobody has ever played like him. There are other great players but he is definitely the best one out there.

[@Diegencinamusic]

Dave always making it seems effortless. 40+ years of experience. Wow.

[@drumtwo4seven]

Impeccable technique. Relaxed feel. Solid, syncopated and exciting. Damn Good 👍

[@manuelevesevo4764]

The control on those grooves is just ridiculous 🥶 the best by far

[@rogersbrandon8474]

Grandfather of drums, I salute you master❤

[@jacquesprevert1902]

Good music and a world class drummer...nothing better to me!

[@shawnbruce6934]

Dave You always sound Wonderful.

[@emilseier2512]

The drummer that influenced me the most. David Weckl what a player!

[@MichaelLewisMusic]

So wonderful! Every groove, so comfortable, precise and just awesome!

[@nomoreblitz]

tbe! tryin to remember seeing Dave play match grip...? doesn't matter. He's the best ever!!

[@alexandremello6913]

It's like the sticks have no weight and fluctuate. Yet, the sound is so sharp and powerful. This is real technique.

[@JasonSmith-ot5pq]

Amazing feel 🙏👏

[@Joe.M]

Dave always has a great drum tone!

[@nandoamoreterno9941]

Deve Eckel is my favorite drummer. I'm an unconditional fan

[@nike292]

Pour faire ça Dave est un Génie! Et physique et intellectuellement!

[@IsaiahStewartJazz]

Bad ass !!!!!!!!!!!

[@the_camera_eye_8898]

the master at work. the feel always spot on.

[@Viking75]

The fill at 3:14 is so subtle but still sooo perfect!

[@allanloayza2056]

Excellent teacher Weckl. It is a pleasure to write to you. I have seen you for years. Greetings from Lima-Peru. Atte Allan Loayza

[@grooveattitude06]

Quel groove. Définitivement mon batteur préféré avec Steve Gadd Tony Williams, Billy Cobham et Simon Phillips

[@dannycutchin7684]

Love how he played with the butt of the stick in his left hand for certain portions like the upbeat accents on the hi hat. It’s easy to forget to be creative like that sometimes

[@kevinvanrensburg2468]

Awesome drummer, luv watching him play.

[@beerivlogs6208]

Never seen Dave with match grip until now and it was amazing

[@Mr1drumlover]

Master drummer!

[@ph_drums]

So nice. Great playing

[@ErezMarom]

Dave plays beautifully, what a pleasure!

[@leeroundtree9345]

I'm not a drummer, but I appreciate good drumming and Dave is a killer on the kit. Always present of the music. Great stuff.
