Benjamin Shepherd looks like the happiest dude in the world in this video. And who can blame him?
Awesome world class bass playing, Benjamin Shepherd. Wow!
The bass player is in heaven playing with Weckl...amazing all of them. Love the smile...
Drummer here, but i have to point out the excellent work on the BASS !
came here for the drums, but that keyboard! wow
Excellent Bass and Keyboard work, I really love Steve Weingart's playing.
Drummer and bass player here & I second that😉🥁🎸🎶🎵🎼🎚️🎛️
Drummer here as well, and Greek too! I concur! Yiasou file!
I have a feeling the bass player has never played with Mr. Weckl and he is extremely thrilled and enjoying the hell out of it. Good Job sir!
Dave Is the man that can play drums even when he stop playing !
Dave Weckl, the most fluid traditional grip playing drummer ever!
I have never seen a drummer like Weckl period. As far as sound and accent he's the Goat.
Call me crazy. I've now listened to this piece 3 times in a row. These smiles of the guys are infectious! They are having so much fun! Ahhh, a composition with such an amazing groove; bass work, so tasteful, cool and grooving; drum work... well, what else do we expect from one of the best drummers who ever lived on this earth. This piece is such a treat!
Absolutely mesmerizing. Dave Weckl is one of the finest drummers ever to play the instrument. A true innovator.
simple the best. period
@@luigi.zanini my point exactly - then maybe Gadd
Am I the only one that couldn't wait for Mr. Weckl to hit that floor tom with the cymbal taped to it?
LOL yeah me too, first couple times I watched, I almost chewed my nails off waiting for him to hit that tom, but then I noticed he hit it at 01:30
Me too :)
Guilty
I went back and started watching from 1:30. I see him clearly hit that tom around 3:00
Me TOO!!!
Whhooo...! What a show, Mr. Weckl
I admire lots of drummers some of them are so good out of this world but Dave weckle is above every one of them,make it look so simple and so smooth.
I usually focus on drummers, but that bass is too perfect to ignore. He effortless plays that bass like another limb, supporting the section and providing nice grooves, all with a smile. What's more to ask for a bassist.
Dave Weckl embodies so much of not only a drummer but also what a musician should strive for or can be. He plays being aware of what's going on around him, dynamics, technique, flare, control, flow, Master of the Groove, knowing when and where to place a fill or indentation. I have no doubt that other musicians want to play alongside him. He ties all musician's and sounds together. A true backbone to a groove and overall a very humble guy. Not overrated or underrated, just literally no words to describe MR. Weckl and how he approaches his instrument. Thank you for being such an inspiration and good example.
Not only is Weckl my all time favorite drummer, his drum kit always sounds amazing. He really knows how to record drums and cymbals like no other.
Dave Weckl is great as always. Steve Weingarts talent is another subject. He is one of the most gifted keyboard players of all time. You may easily feel the soul of Zawinul or Corea from his detailed touchs or solos. He and Weckl totally fits together. Hope they will reunite for a new album.
Amen such a great piece of music the way they just toy with the timing the dynamics etc all 3 of these gentlemen on this stage are extraordinary players!!!!
Fantastic set, I agree.
Incredible playing by all, and man does that bass sound killer. So good!
Steve just kills it... and Benjamin... wow! See the joy in which, Benjamin kills it!! And Dave....
On the scale of musicality, fun & originality this scores a 10!
I'm dumbfounded as to why this music isn't popular. This is some amazing music by some amazing musicians . thanks again for some amazing music.
OMG!! This is unbelievably great!!!
Dave Weckl's stick control, precision and ease of moving around his set is just entertaining to watch. He's unquestionably a master at his craft.
This is not music, this is craftsmanship!
My brother, who is a percussionist, turned me on to Weckl in ‘93. Extraordinary!
Steve Weingart is impressive with the use of so many sounds !!👏👏
...and so many hands😄
My God... subjective opinion I know but this drum solo is, even by Weckl's standards one of the most incredible i've ever seen him do. Insane musicality and beautiful touch. Just pure inspiration!
These three guys play together well! As a bassist, Benjamin Sheppard is my favorite new bassist!
Dave Weckl music ALWAYS makes me unbelievably happy!! This tune by Steve Weingart is such a fun tune and it fits Dave’s style perfectly!
Dave is my hero, and he and Steve were amazing as always. Seeing Ben play live for the first time blew me away! Such an incredible performance. They should tour as a trio 👍
Weckl always continues to take his game to another level.
Great elegant music! I'm not a musician, I'm a simple listener and songs like this make me proud to listen artists like the protagonists of this video.
Still coming back here. Love this song, so fun
I’ve been seeing Dave play for well over 30+years and it’s been an absolute treasure to see how him and a another St. Louis musician ( Tom Kennedy although not playing on this upload ) has grown musically over these incredible years...
Been watching Dave Weckl for 30 years now...and still a performance like this can nearly bring me to tears. Better than ever.
Dave Weckl has been my favorite drummer since I first heard him live in 2005, and for very good reason. His technique looks so damn natural and efficient that it's almost scary, not to mention his precision is unrivaled amongst even the most elite drummers; every note he plays is right spot-on. His drum solo displays such maturity as well.. the way I see it, exhibitinism has never been his primary goal. For him it's all about building a drumming narrative which supports the piece, and not an opportunity show off complicated nonsense tricks.
Even though there's no such thing as perfect, I think he is the most complete drummer of all time. It's unfortunate he wasn't able to maintain the same kind of mainstream popularity as some other great drummers of his era.
While most people reading these comments are familiar with Dave's work with Chick Corea, I would highly recommend Steve Khan's Public Access album from 1990. Most probably haven't even heard of this album but I think it's some of Weckl's finest playing.
McYaballow welcome the club bro. He has been my hero / inspiration since 1988. 👍. Go see him live and be prepared to blow your mind.
I pretty much have every album of his and I agree the Steve Kahn stuff is amazing. He always plays with killer drummers however.
Check put Bill Conners, Step it. Young Weckl before Chick. His interesting style and unusual phrasing are on full display early in his career.
McYaballow so true, and guess what... How giving He is to the drummers community with tons and tons of clinics, workshops, discussion forums, books, CD's... Constellations and much much moore,!
He's in the list of the best 25 drummers oh history... He's at the elite of drummers.
I love the joy you can see while everyone plays.
Did a seminar with Dave 25 years ago in Montreal. He was great then but now I'm speechless. Wow!
I finally figured out Weckl. It's how easy he makes everything look.
Steve Weingart just might be my favorite jazz fusion composer. Haven't heard such catchy compositional ideas since Weather Report. Too often, jazz musicians write these wonky tunes that do little aside from setting up virtuoso solos.
Dude, I’m two years late to this comment but YES! I’ve been trying to figure out why certain jazz fusion artists are so much better than others and I think you hit it right on the head. The solos should serve really catchy hooks and motifs instead of being the focal point of the music.
I know that before I hit the play button Dave's drums are going to sound AMAZING as always. Sure enough they do. Great song and so tight.
Oh my my Dave Weckl...after 21 years of following his play,I'm still inspired everytime I hear him play...I bow in reverence
Mr. Weckl, thanks for inspiring many of us to start playing the drums even at a "late" age. Good vibes to everyone!!
Or, stopped so many up-and-coming drummers from ever touching a kit again! :-)
Always an inspiration to watch Dave play!
I love Steve Weingarts music!!!
After being a fan for so many years I'm still mesmerized.
So much fun to watch these guys. Love it!
The number one Drummer in the world Mr Dave weckl
Always so inspirational to watch and hear Dave play. That solo was so just soooo tasty. Perfect combo with Steve & Benjamin. Wow loved that track.
Dave defies the 'less is more' theory. He squeezes in just enough MORE so that there is NO LESS!
Dave is so smooth. I could listen to him practice rudiments for hours.
Damn that was beautiful.
Ahhhh such a master of rhythm. Weckyl is BUTTER 👌🏻🎼🥁
BLOODY AWESOME LOVE WATCHING DAVE PLAY
Amazing Musicians Thanks Weckl,Weingart,Shepherd …...only wish I was there ….this is such a groove !
Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Dave!:)
Staggeringly brilliant. Weckl just goes on blowing all away.
Dave Weckl is breathtaking!
Thanks, Dave!!!😎👍
Just a tremendous example of your amazing skills on drums!!!
After 20 yrs of listening, and learning from Dave, I'm still amazed, and learning. Thanks Dave Weckl.
One of the 10 best drummers in the world in my opinion. Jazz wise the real deal....
Dave Weckl, my favorite drummer since 1990 when I discovered him. Always better and better, always the perfect sound, the perfect note at the right moment. So much "finesse" !
Excactly the same here :-)
@@Badassvidsz same here been with him since 1990
A great take on a great piece of music. What a pleasure to listen to such playing.
One of the World's greatest drummers to have ever lived. God's gift, magnified by an unbelievable artistry and dedication to his instrument.
Steve makes me glad to own that same Casio keyboard..it sounds great....
the white one? what is the keyboard on top?
@@christiangutfleisch Casio MZ-X500
There are many amazing drummers out there playing, however if you want to see the best and for all those great drummers; I always come back to Dave! His fluidity is second to none.
what a playout by Dave, great camera angle for it - insane playing, just makes you sit back and laugh. Too good. 8.05 that bit on the bell. the crowd love those few seconds, big smile on the Wex too. Bang on.
I absolutely love Dave's artistry on the kit.
great! So original, fresh & sparkling
That Dave is on stage with Steve and Benjamin is testament to their skills ,
the smiles on their faces a testament to his ! If you read this Mr. W. , please make a little error now and again !
Just for us poor Earthlings !
My hero who i listened to and patterned my playing style years ago was JEFF PORCARO, but this guy Dave Weckl is refreshing to listen to as well..👍👍.. every drummer is different. Thats the beauty of music..
Nice performance!! Weckl is a true legend, amazing feeling
Super strong Elektric Band vibes, here. Very 80's fusion. Love it.
the best drummer that ever played the drums
I love when the date of the performance is mentioned somewhere, saves me searching for it!
Damn that Weckl boy's good!
This is a nice line up of stellar musicians. Pianist Steve Weingart is throwing down on synthesizer and piano solos. Nice Composition
Love when Steve and Dave play together! Their chemistry is crazy!!
flawless technique, mastery of time and space, great tone. As inspirational as it gets. Thanx Dave!
Τhe band is amazing but Dave's level of concentration and musicality is out of this world.
This is straight from Africa! Somewhere in Ouest Africa! I know it because I'm from there! The beat and melodies! Nice job and thank you for making it sounds better!
Drums sounds are beautiful.💕
Amazing musicians! Amazing Dave W! - so effortless and perfect. Watching this made my day!
Wow! Weckl really drives this group. Love it!
What a rich sound from a trio!
Love the composition, great players, the drum and cymbal sound is incredible, Dave's fluidity and touch...So inspiring!
Maaaaaan you are so good! I'm a drummer and an 'absolutely nonpro keyboardplayer' so I've followed mr Weckl with enthusiasm since - 88 and enjoyed every performance and tune He delivered. Weingardt and Jay Oliver are glued to Dave Weckl in any collaboration. B Shepard seems to fit in with innovation and good taste in His playing. Thank you for bringing so much happiness! 🇸🇪
I agree will all the comments. Even the top of the top, would have Dave as 'their' most complete and all round drummer and musician...hands down! He plays as smooth a water and becomes one with the rhythm and music he is playing. Stunning stunning musician.
Love Weckl... And a big Wiengart fan too... Great comb. And then complete it with Shepherd... Dream show
Beautifully composed tune!! Flawless mastery of the musicians! Dave Weckl is so inspiring to watch and listen to.
Awesome clip, great performance, thanks for sharing! This is what I call musicality.
Some beats drums, other plays. Some plays with subtlety, touch, dynamics and mind-blowing creativity. Like Dave. Since first heard (early 80s) a favorite rhythm artist :)
@ 4:18 ..killing it and then just casually glances down at his phone to see who just texted him, lol!! Weckl is my spirit animal..
Bravo. And thank you for changing my mood. I’m inspired and feeling positive having listened to you guys. Much more please.
They are amazing musicians!!
So smooth, as usual!
Damn guys! Nice work! Dave.... I'm speechless.
One of the greatest things I've ever seen. Period.
An amazing composition! Love Dave’s drumming and kit sound
Dave is probably the best contemporary drummer in jazz today. Power on dave. A pleasure to hear your work.
Great composition. Steve Weingart's style strikes me as a harmonic and melodic anthesis of Weather Report, Chick Corea styles influences resulting in his unique voice. Thank you for the inspiration!!
I love the way the high hat just keeps calmly snip, snip, snipping away on the downbeat through all of that.
Dave makes it look effortless, especially in this day age of power drummers, But still is amazing just the same. Bravo!!
