Every generation needs their musical heroes and tons of YouTubing drummers will blow our minds. But guys like Weckl, Colaiuta, Gadd, Chambers are meant to be forever.
Agreed, but the Sheriff's says you're gonna need a bigger list! Jeff Porcaro, Virgil Donati, Billy Cobham, Narada Michael Walden, Danny Gottleib, Peter Erskine, Chad Wackerman......
I think Peter Erskin has the same silky feel that Weckl has and I am pretty sure Erskine helped Dave get his career started@@tommysonnier9848 His playing here and everywhere is just staggeringly great.
Dave is one of the most fluid drummers I've ever seen play. No wasted movement; It looks like he's not even playing much. But at the incredible sound and melody belies this impression. This guy is truly art in motion, probably my favorite drummer of all time.
Dave Weckl is bringing the big band back! This arrangement and soloing sounds fresh!!! Weckl is an outstanding drummer who has unsurpassed taste, and ability to play rhythmic hits 1,000 different ways and never upsets the flow or feel.
Still mesmerized by Dave's playing. I cant quite point what it is he has more than others but his playing speaks to me like no other drummer does. Maybe its the fluidity and the dynamics or maybe it is that he never spends a ounce more than just the energy needed in each performance. That's why I call him Mr Smooth.
Same here. Watching and hearing him play at the same time is always fantastic. And as you said, I too can’t put my finger on it, what makes him extra special. Maybe it’s because he reached a level of perfection and that’s what we are witnessing.
Mr Weckl, if you see this comment, know that you have greatly inspired me as a drummer and I still think no one comes close to you these days. Cheers from Québec!
Respected by every drummer at the highest level. Humble and imo perhaps overcame a shyness to become one of the all time greats. I recently read a beautiful old interview with Vinnie singing Dave's praises .. and Peter Erskine of course always talks about Dave. I think he genuinely shocked the drumming world when he came on the scene. He's that good.
I am born 1980. The Next Step was one of the first educational lessons that I ever saw around the age of 14. Oh my. Since then Weckl have had a place in my rhythm soul, although I am totally pop rock and heavy dude. To me Weckl is extremely smooth and at the same time quite furious. Those slpash-snare -accents, tom-bassdrum rolls and superb snarework... No one is like Dave. And sound. Always at high level.
He did a seminar in my home town in 1985. Me and two drummer friends were 10 feet away from a guy we only heard of and he mesmerized the small crowd of drummers . He stopped after every song and explained everything he did like your own personal teacher. He was not arrogant but very on the level. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Me and another younger drummer Robin Jönsson liked Billy Cobham but Robin told Me about an instruction video with Dave Weckl then We went home and practice to do the same things on the drumset with left and right hand just using the nearest hand to do things instead of cross the hands over the drumset. We learned play simply for ourselves but learned a lot from this "Master and King of Drums" Video. Thank You Dave from Me and Robin in Sweden!
Dave is in a small minority of the great jazz drummers who knows how to play with a big band. He has great dynamics and knows how to phrase with the horns, while keeping the time moving forward. And that is extremely difficult to do. Dave has done it smoothly every time. Thanks Dave for putting a big smile on my face. I thought I could play the drums until I heard you.
😂❤Mister Dave WECKEL ! He make this world better in music , performing with Love ,réspect, precisions for Jazz and all cand 3:12 of styles . He always give many inspirations how to pratice better music , we must be proud to chair those moments to all around the world . Bay this way we have to protect our beautiful job "make this world better with good MUSIC " . Tank's LORD .Congratulations Drumer's who playing with that peaceful attitude . Music for ever !😊❤.
I've been watching you play for 40 + years. Your timing and technique have always been up there with the best. Your feel and taste have steadily improved to the point you've reached Buddy Rich status. Thanks for the entertainment.
Damn. Dave must be just so happy with this project - coming full circle to the early days of his musical journey. I Love how he's doing HIS thing on this tune. Very tasteful and for-the-music.
2/18/2024 Dave is simply Top Tier of All Time Greats. Been a fan for well over 40 Yrs. Had the pleasure to first hear Dave @ Sand Bar Cafe with his Band Nite Sprite. Simply a true Gentleman I had the pleasure of meeting. I played drums by ear for many years. Wanted to take lessons again for the third time since starting at age 8 Dave was kind enough to try to give me lessons. First thing he said was I didn't know anything Lol. I couldn't read music at that time. But he was patient and gave me some exercises to practice and work on independence. With all said it was a pleasure to have had the chance to spend a little time with simply one of the Greats. Thanks for all wonderful Music Dave and God Bless 🙏🏻
The most appropriate adjective of his playing I can conjure up is “effortless”.
Truly....one of the greatest drummers to walk the earth.
Every generation needs their musical heroes and tons of YouTubing drummers will blow our minds. But guys like Weckl, Colaiuta, Gadd, Chambers are meant to be forever.
Me thinks Tom Brechtlein should be on that list as well...
Please don’t leave out the great Buddy Rich.
Agreed, but the Sheriff's says you're gonna need a bigger list! Jeff Porcaro, Virgil Donati, Billy Cobham, Narada Michael Walden, Danny Gottleib, Peter Erskine, Chad Wackerman......
@@gtcih Or the versatile Virgil Donati.
Well said my friend. I would add to that list also Ian Paice, Steve Smith, Todd Sucherman , & Gregg Bissonette !
The BEST DRUMMER IN THE WORLD!! Congratulations mr : weckel!!
Absolutely agree!👍
Me too 100% He is the modern day Buddy Rich 👏💎👏🥁🔥🥁🔥🥁
Dave weckl is by far the best drummer of all time , flawless and never repetitive , always ahead of the curve in the art of drumming. Genius.
Definitely the best in feel and smoothness. No one else has his touch.
I think Peter Erskin has the same silky feel that Weckl has and I am pretty sure Erskine helped Dave get his career started@@tommysonnier9848 His playing here and everywhere is just staggeringly great.
The best of the best in the world
Dave is one of the most fluid drummers I've ever seen play. No wasted movement; It looks like he's not even playing much. But at the incredible sound and melody belies this impression. This guy is truly art in motion, probably my favorite drummer of all time.
Dave’s Carrying the torch I think buddy rich would be proud
He proved once again that he is a king
Dave is too good. Such smooth transitions across the drumset, so musical too! Perfect playing.
Dave’s fluidity around the kit is just outrageous. Damn!
The older he gets, the better he plays. Amazing.
Monster Dave !!😮
Slickville!! Top Notch!
Smooth Dave & what a masterpiece of true Musicianship by Everyone in your Orchestra! 5 Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😎👍💯
If i'd need firework on new year, i choose this.
Fantastic
Dave Weckl is bringing the big band back! This arrangement and soloing
sounds fresh!!! Weckl is an outstanding drummer who has unsurpassed taste, and ability to play rhythmic hits 1,000 different ways and never upsets the flow or feel.
One and only.
Maestro!!
Buddy would be proud.

Maybe its the fluidity and the dynamics or maybe it is that he never spends a ounce more than just the energy needed in each performance. That's why I call him Mr Smooth.
I think you described it perfectly. His playing is so relaxed, controlled, articulate, and dynamic. I am always in awe.
No has his touch on the drums. This is what I feel sets him apart the most. I guess this is worded a little different from how you put it.
Same here. Watching and hearing him play at the same time is always fantastic. And as you said, I too can’t put my finger on it, what makes him extra special. Maybe it’s because he reached a level of perfection and that’s what we are witnessing.
Perfect men playing drum
The genius of Horace Silver
멋져부러유
Buddy passed the torch to Weckl. No doubt about it!
Like !!!!!!
Mr Weckl, if you see this comment, know that you have greatly inspired me as a drummer and I still think no one comes close to you these days. Cheers from Québec!
Like usual the best drummer in the world 👍👍
The GOAT
As smooth as silk 👌

Nice new Buddy Rich mode - Nutville - and Weckl is a monster in the class of Buddy :D
Super👍

Top! Top! Top! Congratulations...
He is one of the best drummers If ever seen and I am 68 and I have seen a lot and I am a drummer myself for more than 50 years....👍👌
Awesome!
incredible
you are a Monster Dave!
Dave brings so much feel and soul into any melody he plays
Dave is the only drummer I see that can make real melodies with two sticks on a drumset...!
I am born 1980. The Next Step was one of the first educational lessons that I ever saw around the age of 14. Oh my. Since then Weckl have had a place in my rhythm soul, although I am totally pop rock and heavy dude. To me Weckl is extremely smooth and at the same time quite furious.

So great!!!
Danny, you’ve practicing, bro!!! ❤️🎺❤️🎺❤️🎺❤️
Dave never fails to amaze me with his timming, creativity and attention to every detail in the number, such an inspiration to any drummer!!!!!!
The best drummer!! fantastic techniqie...
He did a seminar in my home town in 1985. Me and two drummer friends were 10 feet away from a guy we only heard of and he mesmerized the small crowd of drummers . He stopped after every song and explained everything he did like your own personal teacher. He was not arrogant but very on the level. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Awesomlysuperfantastical
My love of music began with the big bands of the late 50's. This is awesome!
The best👏👏👏
formidable
Simply the best. What a great way to bring back this artform full swing, no pun intended.
Thank you Dave & band!!!

Magistral.

Perfect ending drum solo! Precisely in character for Nutville while showing Dave's exemplary skills.
Dave plays music! Not just drums.
