These Latin guys got something special.
He seems to hold his sticks so lightly.
I'm starting to dig the white coated heads again.

Youtube is amazing! What a different world
a kid has exposure to today interested in music.

Re: WECKL - RECENT CLINIC VIDEO

I usually do not dig Dave's solos from a pure emotional perspective, but this one had more space to breath. His cymbals, especially the crash above the hats are almost perfect in tone for me. Crafting a great solo is more about composition than blowing imo. Funny how this topic of composition rarely...
