I met Mark Brzezicki last weekend. He happened to be at a gig I was playing, just a pub gig, and he watched the first set. I must say he was really complimentary which made my night. :) In the break we chatted drums of course. Such a lovely guy. He's sold all his gear, (including 75 snare drums!) mo...

Yeah, just watched the whole thing and it's got to be the most interesting interview I've seen of Dave. So many tentacles in the Weckl brand. He's very articulate and a really intelligent man. The attention to detail in everything he does is amazing.

I love Matt Garstka's mastery of odd time, sub divisions and polyrhythms. His playing is so fluid. And applause to the guy that transcribed it.
