    His timing, phrasing, accents, his wrists, snare tone and anything else you can throw in are impeccable.

    @RandomlyDrumming Před 2 měsíci +14

    Unmatched fluidity and dynamics by any drummer I've ever heard in any genre in my 24 years of playing! You can even remove the music and drumming will be a story for itself, yet it perfectly compliments the music and never feels or sounds contrived or "overplayed". That's why Dave is my number one drummer of all time.🍻

    The man’s a legend, and the Master Plan was my initial intorduction to jazz. In my late teens Dave quickly became one of the top artists on my playlists - and perhaps an unlikely one given that the lists had previously consisted of underground thrash metal bands. I love how Dave’s music opened a whole new musical world to me. Much respect, always loved your playing, still do.

    Hi Dave!
    I've been to concerts where you played with bands like the Elektric Band or the Dave Weckl Acoustic Band, but I've never seen you perform Tower of Inspiration. Even though I've seen you play Tower '99 in some video clips, I've never seen "Tower of Inspiration" you performed. I really appreciate that you uploaded "Tower of Inspiration" that you played. This reminds me of the year 1990 when I bought your first solo CD. Thanks a lot!

  • @davparksoh
    @davparksoh Před 2 měsíci +8

    Happy to be the 1st comment here - Dave, can't thank you enough - been following you since the mid 80's - IMO you're the best overall drummer in history (technique, feel, groove, versatility, professionalism, body of material) - I'm a pro fusion drummer now because of your influence/style - really appreciate all that you've brought to the music world - continued success & best wishes!

    I started playing drums when I was 12 years old. I played along to rock music for a year or two, until our neighbor knocked on the front door one day and said he'd heard me playing - he came with a handful of CD's to give me, one of them was Masterplan. I had no idea who Dave Weckl was and when I first listened to Masterplan, I couldn't believe how drums could sound like that! I was hooked instantly and I've been playing for 30 years now. Dave has always been a big influence for me, and it all started with Masterplan! Thanks Dave!

    Man, this brings back memories. I've seen you at least three times in St. Louis. A couple of those with Kennedy and Oliver.
    They tore down Mississippi Nights a few years back, but I knew the best spot in the house to watch you!
    Miss those times.... Nothing like it.

  • @knobachan
    @knobachan Před 2 měsíci +1

    I can only say that Dave Weckle is more sophisticated and amazing, with the same technique and motivation as he got older. I've always liked this song as well. You can't talk about a drummer without knowing Dave's charm. He's my drum mentor in a way. In particular, the fusion of Latin and jazz is attractive.

    LOVE this! Reminds me of when I started to take drumming more seriously and found out about THIS guy (kind of intimidating to be honest) and his first instructional video, in which he breaks down his grooves and made them accessible (thus improving my OWN drumming). Kudos to Dave!
