DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

Yeah that sounds bout right - once you memorize the rhythm of those accents are are comfortable playing them you can use whatever sticking you want as long as the intention is there (the accents over top of the ghost notes). It's a cool phrase!

Beautiful, I'll work on that. Thanks Steve!

I really like this.
Beautiful song and incredible arrangements from all the players.
And it sounds incredible.

Steve, not sure if you've already covered it in any of your tutorial videos before (you probably have), but there's a lick Weckl does here I'd love to see you do a breakdown of! At 3:57, he does what I think is repetitions of RLRLL between snare and ride, accenting the first R on snare and playing a kick with the second R. Have I got that right or completely wrong? The more I watch it, the less I'm sure if he's bringing the right hand across to the snare or not. He does it again for longer at 4:12. It sounds pretty cool and might be one of the few Weckl things I might actually be able to play with some practise!

Here is my take on it:
