An old videclip from Weckl, but still amazing after all these years.

I agree. In my opinion, Dave is one of the
most important drummers of the recent era.
I have always thought him a real musical
player and especially as it relates to the
arrangements for keyboards and horns.

His triplet and Latin flare has influenced
a generation of players, not to mention
his linear approach towards cymbals.

Thanks, Anders.

cheers

For me, DW has always written and arranged in such
a way that there was always something going on. The
drum set in his music always seems to find ways to inner-
weave it's way into every aspect of the music. Though I
personally found this to be a bit much at times, I must
admit that Dave seemed to always find a way to make this
happen without actually overplaying and overwhelming
whatever else was going on... That has always been a
fascination with me... Along with the injection and placement
of his fills, and the great detail he takes in tuning his kit
regarding each individual shell to the most perfect pitch.

And he's so much better now than he was then and he was
killin' back in those days.

Good memories. I wore this CD out. It's Island Magic, not Magic Island.
