Dave Weckl has become quite the virtuoso and with the passing of such greats as Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson Dave has assumed the mantel of the current day great players, in fact he made more sense in what he played in sixteen bars compared to the others he appeared with as part of a tour of great drummers.
Any drummer who understands the importance of technique to get the job done properly with an unending reserve of ability and endurance will appreciate this DVD lesson from a virtuoso drummer who will become mentioned in the same sentence as Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson and time passes.
