DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

[jean krupa]

If we are raggin' on Dave, my 0.02 is---the L push into mounted toms and played w/ R hand.
I can dig the tonal effect, but I think it is so overused during solos, esp earlier w/ Chick
and playing solos from drum room and with other leaders....but Dave is the best !!!

Without a doubt. Dave is incredible. One of the greatest ever. He and Vinnie were the top of the tree during that late 80s/early 90s era. I just wish Dave would stop popping that & with the snare and hi-hat bark before the 1 when he's playing an 8th note groove. Somebody tell him.

Maybe that's why DW is not in the Pop/Rock music's world ? I'd say that he doesn't really have that culture inside him, the culture of playing simple just for the song, with no embellishment.

It's obvious also when he plays Stevie's "Do I Do".

PS : embellishments work so beautiful with Vinnie, can somebody can tell me why ?
