    Been learning, and watching this man for 15 yrs. And he still amazes me. Years not lost for sure. When my wife passed, he sent me his condolences to my e-mail. A class act. Will fellow him for ever. Thanks DAVE.

    He has all the chops in the world, but he NEVER overplays. He is a one man band. His solos are like compositions. I'm more of a Bonham, Ringo, Levon Helm guy, but there's something about Weckl's playing that stands out amongst every other drummer. He's truly a genius, and his playing has more integrity than probably anyone in the world.

    And that’s why he’s my favorite drummer… With so many amazing drummers out there it’s really hard to pick a favorite, however, Dave’s phrasing and style is so unique. He is the only drummer that I can listen to for hours on end without getting bored.

      Oddly enough it was that surgical precision that draw criticism from others early in his career. Nobody ever questioned his technical ability but it was often said his style was cold and mechanical compared to others (Vinnie, Gadd, Chambers, etc). It amazed me then and even more now that he still has critics.

    The 1st Electric Band album in the 80's changed my life as a drummer. Every musician I know was talking about this new kid that was doing things on the kit that seemed impossible at the time. It was hard to comprehend what you were hearing. When it came time for The Master Plan every musician on earth knew who he was. I love to listen to many drummers but I always go back to Dave and his immense sense if pocket and groove. Just an incredible body of fabulous work.

He didn't say specifically but he did say that he has never played with a drummer like Vinnie before. He did say that Steve Ferrone had the best pocket though.

      Chad Smith is not nowhere near Dave Weckl in drumming ability or talent! You want proof? Go ask Chad Smith!! He'd NEVER want to be on the same stage as Weckl!! Haha!! Idiots!!!

      Joe Fukumoto not sure you understood what I said. I agree they’re not bringing the same thing to the table as far as solo drumming goes. That’s why I said comparing them is stupid. But then again you guys are comparing by saying Dave Weckl could crash chad smith with one handin the back.... stupid since there are no better rhcp Drummer out there than Chad Smith including weckl and there are maybe one or two guys in the world who could say to weckl he needs to improve on something. They’re not doing the same job.......knowing jackshit about music?
