From the ´07 MD interview: Why did you switch to Gretsch drums? I was always a closet Gretsch freak. I love the sound of Gretsch drums. While they have a very resonant pure sound, they also have a particular sound that I like. I like that I can tune them differently to produce more or less overtones...

F*ck! I missed it... Did you recorded some of it?

I think he refers to some kind of tuning... Ringy, nasty overtones type of thing.
The pristine Weckl sound we all love would no gel with some kinds of musics...

The finals should be a live playing situation...
4 A list session players playing 1 or 2 songs with the finalists... That would be interesting to see!

Didn't Regal Tip make him a signature stick just a year ago?

Indeed! I actually broke one yesterday... Nice sticks, not sure about the finishing, but really nice overall.

Gavin is quite consistent also... (another cat taking care of the engineering side of it)

Had to start this thread because his pocket is just as good as it gets...
I love his touch and sound here:

Anyone care to post the mp3? Thanks!

It has more clarity, better sound articulation and it sounds big.
What sound adjustments/changes did you do from your previous videos ?

Yes, please do share!

Thanks Gavin! Makes sense...
