    One of the coolest musicians of all time. Mr Dave Weckl. ❤

    It is so cool, that he evolving constantly. My first ever drum video school was his "Back to basics" and "The next step". And even he was one of the tops he changed his technique so much! And was like "Ok, that was a mistake, now I do it like this". And few years later "Ok, I was wrong again, that's how i do it now". That make so much sence, that all our techniques and methods are fluid and changing over time, and if something is not working anymore - do not be afraid to change it. Thank's Dave!

      @@administration8961 One of in light of the fact that there is no greatest since no single drummer has it over on all others in every aspect of drumming. No one is a better Vinnie than Vinnie, just as no one is better at being Buddy than Buddy. Who can do what Virgil Donati does better than Virgil? Chris Coleman? And so on down the line.

      @@Smittyschannel Not really, buddy. He is factually "one" of the greatest. Had I said "THE" greatest, then that specificity relegates the statement to subjectivity, but the generality of the statement and the fact that he is technically more proficient than most who have ever lived makes it a factual reality. He's on many of the top drummers of all-time lists to boot. We can factually state that some athletes are bigger, stronger, faster, etc than others. The same applies to music and drumming. Not many can come close to what Dave does. Actual drummers know this fact. I'm a huge Neil Peart fan and even I had to explain to a friend one day why Neil wasn't even close to Weckl in ability. He just wouldn't believe me until I posted the Sabian cymbal ad that Weckl, Peart, Portnoy and Bozzio did together where Neil literally thanked Dave for giving them all a lesson after each had played and Weckl had just finished playing. Bozzio was dumbstruck and told Weckl that it was hard to even focus on the cymbals because of how amazing Dave played. There are levels to every game. Weckl is cream of the crop.

    @xaverk Před rokem +1

    My observation is that it is quite easy to find the balance point with (new) Vic-Firth sticks: Grab the stick where the American flag is printed.
    On Dave's signature stick, the point is clearly further to the front than on the Steve Gadd signature stick. And in fact, Dave Gadd grips his sticks farther back, so the stick almost ends up with the heel of his hand. For me, that's important when playing in a suit. If the stick is too far back when playing, you can easily get caught in the sleeve, with matched grip even left and right!

    This man comes at a close second to Buddy Rich in the "Great drummers of all time" category. My personal opinion but I highly doubt my mind can be changed about that. This man was and still is incredibly inspirational to who I am as a drummer (and I'm 27 and have been drumming since I was 7, so 20 years), and every time I watch him be it live or on CZcams, it's always mind blowing to see what this man does. He and Dennis Chambers were my two favourite drummers when I was growing up.
