Dave Weckl - Time Check - THE MAKING OF BURNING FOR BUDDY

[SmackDownBrown]

Love when Weckl, Peart, Portnoy and Bozzio did the Sabian Players Spotlight vid. Weckl played his piece on the kit and Bozzio says "It's hard to think about the cymbals because you play so beautifully" and Peart says "Thanks for the lesson." You know you're great when those cats call it in.

What is with people bashing the drummers on this incredible work?  These guys were paying tribute to one of the finest drummers to ever walk the earth.  Obviously they are not Buddy Rich!  However, I'd challenge any of the nay sayers here to publish a video that compares or trumps the playing on this video or any other from the series.  Good on Neil and the other drummers who took the time to put this together, and mad props to Dave for swinging a tasty and difficult tune.

Dave’s technique is the best of any drummer I’ve ever seen. I guarantee he is the most technically advanced drummer you’ve ever seen, of course, without disregard to Buddy. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dave, and I will say that for the rest of my life, I will always have a special spot for him in my heart.

So easy in his attitude and drumming.... Amazing Weckl

[JCurtisDrums]

That was immense. What a pro performance.

[HardEdge]

Weckl's easy style is so musical, it is just a total joy to watch and listen to. His flow is so easy and his finger and release control is fascinating and entertaining.

Thanks for this David Weckl. It's always excellent seeing Steve Marcus soloing ! ! !

oh my. excellent drummer/musician. he made it look so easy.

[johnz]

Dave is such a solid drummer with great chops. He keeps the intended groove of this song nicely. Tasteful playing!

[ruckusmalone]

Beyond words one of the greatest drumming performances of all time.

[crimsonkng]

Come on ... ALL of these musicians are fabulous.

[daniellatrimurti]

I do not understand why, please someone tell me why there's five dislikes on this video. I love it. Thanks for sharing it.

Dave Weckl is Something Else. He's Just Dave. Steve Gadd and Vinnie Are as Well. They Shaped So Many Drummers over 50 years.

This event was really a passing of the torch; Steve Marcus's afro was on the decline, and Dave's mullet was on the rise.

[mikkovaltonen]

Gotta give a shoutout to the bass player as well. Absolutely stellar job locking up perfectly with all these different drummers with their distinctive styles.

[richardlafontaine]

I gotta SIT DOWN now.Dave..you CRAZY. INCREDIBLE.

[arame]

master percussionist. body so relaxed and generates so much power. will go on forever due to great ergonomics. moves around the kit melodically

[dzjc]

It's so funny to read comments from the uninformed. Dave isn't trying to sound like Buddy Rich. Dave is his own man, as was Buddy, and they're two different players, but that doesn't take away from Weckl's amazing performance. And for those criticizing Weckl, how about posting a video of yourself playing along to this song? Yeah, didn't think so.

[abeerharoon]

You can really see just how much control he has. WOW

[coreybondurant]

Amazing performance. Thank you for sharing!
