Well in the same way that you took the time to trawl Google images for your hilarious and facetious comment, Dan took the time to study Tristanos lines just as guitarists study Metheny or Charlie Christian or saxophonists study Parer and Brecker. Why? Because he hears something in Tristanos phrasing which he sought to study, transcribe and work at in order to give himself a looseness and freedom in his phrasing on the drums.
This diligence and attention to detail has resulted in Dan touring the world and playing with such respected jazz greats as David Binney, Lee Konitz, Miguel Zenon and Kenny Werner , recording hundreds of albums both as a band leader in his own right and as an in demand sideman.
Out of interest if this had been Vinnie, Brian Blade or *insert your favourite drummer* posting clips like this, would you have posted the same pic?
He is great, but give me Justin Faulkner or Mike mitchell any day IMO.bananajou wrote:Hype? He's from another world but in a musical way. One of the best jazz drummers out there today, period.
You should check out his patreon page, he's got hundreds of (very valuable) lessons in there for very cheap: https://www.patreon.com/danweiss
