Dave Weckl like a great French wine…. Better and better with the years passing ❤

THAT SNARE THO!!!!😮 Man I sit here with tears watching how smooth, yet complex Dave is. What talent!

Man oh man, the way Dave constructs solos, so incredibly musical.

The progression of Dave's playing never ceases to amaze and elevate.

Weckl is truly one of the all time greatest. So relaxed, so smooth. He's as close to perfect as you can get!

One of the greatest drummers of our time. Such groove and precision.

Weckl is best of the best!

Dave is an artist and his drum sticks are his brushes. He’s not even thinking about his limbs, he’s playing on pure feeling. Such an ease and effortlessness here.

The sheer consistency of that drumming. Holding the band together when needed, soloing when needed. Simply a lesson.

I admire how this man tends to not only do fantastic tight solos effortlessly but also keeps grooving while doing so. Not getting carried away too much and keeping the song alive, awesome, love him.

I never get bored watching Dave solo and play

This man is on top of the drumming world since the 80's, always fresh, always improvin'... always such a pleasure listenin' to that magical touch. 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼

He always has the best sounding kits! Easily my favorite drummer. His pocket and feel is so incredible. Dude blows my mind every time. Big props to that bass player too for holding that pocket down!

What a GREAT right hand 16th notes groove on hi-hats. He doesn’t miss a stroke. Not so easy to play this with that speed. It is around 90 with a timer. He is so relaxed. Playing this groove is like drinking water for him. He is the best👌👌👌👌

Dave - the drummers drummer. Amazing every time he picks up his sticks.

It’s never a bad time for a Dave solo. 😮

So nice to see that even Dave Weckl plays rooms where the game is on in the background. Also he’s on another level

Just unreal. Such freedom, such groove.

The one who shines here is the bass. Perfect.

Dave's supernatural command of time and coupling it with something akin to silky stylistic phrasings that are incomprehensible to mere mortal drummers is astonishing. Sometimes all you can do is say "Wow".

My late friend and drummer, Tom Parisi, used to live in an apartment next door to Dave in New Rochelle NY. We used to listen to Dave practice through the walls ;-). He was amazing then but not yet famous. Not long after that I got a chance to jam with Dave at the Crazy Horse Cafe in New Rochelle. Not long after that he was playing with Chick Corea. The rest is history. Congrats on a remarkable career.

Dave has always been the smoothest drummer ever 😎😎

Always amazing groove, dynamics, sound! This is just Dave Weckl.

This is lyrical drumming, natural, flowing, structured, creative, meaningful. Oh, and extremely watchable! Love it!

This is so off the damn hook. Absolute monsters. Dave is so fluid and musical. His dynamics are off the charts. His time is spot on. What more could you ask for?

A whole new level of deep pocket on classic grooves. Simply stellar!

At 1:35 Dave smiled! He is the glue that keeps the band in pocket and he knows it 😊

Dave gives off a persona that he'd be a master of any career choice he would have made. He's truly a gifted but serious artist. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us!!!

Dave is smooth as it gets .

You won't get better than that, so precise, such timing. Dave is the best there is.

Been following Dave since I started playing in 1980. He NEVER ceases to amaze me. Clean, articulate, precise, musical and GROOVE.

if a groove machine actually existed ..that would be Dave Weckl. So relaxed yet on top of things

Not kidding about that groove.

DAVE WECKL "THE KING"

The Groove Contingent taking musical satisfaction to a new level.

Damn, just love where Dave goes,,,,, into the abyss for many but he ALWAYS makes its back with that perfect landing. Awesome track played by all.

And that bass player Dave set you out. Yall are incredible.💯🥁🎸💯 NO DOUBT

Just woke up and caught this vid!! My day couldn’t have started out more perfectly as this groove and overall performance with the sublime solo as me smiling and my head bobbin’!!! LUV IT!!! 🔥❤️👏👏🙌

Weckl is one of the best ever for his past for his longevity and for his future. Weckl is unique a king

Thanks, Dave. You were and still are №1 for me.

THE MASTER FOREVER! Tasty Jam!

We are so lucky to live in a time when the recording quality is where it is ever preserving super jambs like this where all members just smoke from start to finish of course Dave's performance is just riveting and continues to evolve ...how lucky we all are to enjoy this stuff so easily now!!!

Came here for Dave, fell in love with John's playing!

Dave Is The Man! I would Love to wake up One day, able to play like this.

It’s sooo amazing to hear Dave play covers of regular music ….. that was unreal

Thank you Dave !!..💯👍🇲🇫

PLEASE POST MORE...this clip quickly became the best part of my day!!!

I must say, it looks like Dave is having a blast , just groovin’ , he looks genuinely happy …..great to witness

Great stuff Dave!!......Congrats on your local area "STL Groove Contingent Band"!.....Thanks!

The Groove Masters themselves. The rhythm section of Mr. Weckl and Mr. King together is awesome!

Love this Dave! Dave 3:09 wow nice!! 👍👍💯

Smokin! This was pure class....pro musicians in the pocket all the way, and the audio recording on this is first class too....thanks for posting!

Well, off to the kit, inspired by Dave Weckl......again!!! 🥁😆 that was fantastic!

These guys are all off the hook! Incredible musicians! Love the song as well

Awesome!!! precision and elegance in the groove & solo. The Best 👍

I've been a fan since I was 16yrs old... I'm 47 today and still find Dave W. phenomenal...

I love it when he uses his groove, accents and dynamics rather than speed. It would be great for Dave to play a jazzette to show his infinite talent and pocket on a Soul album, including, of course Use Me. I would spend many, many nights in this place listening and cheering for this band....

Great to see Weckl lay back on a solid groove like this

Dave is just incredible

Aaaah... :) TASTY.. Always enjoying and learning something watching your and your colleague's work.. 🙏🤟

Glory be, that’s good stuff. Damn.

what a great interpretation of this classic song

Great Band! I could watch and listen to J. King all day.

This has to be the best performance of Use Me of all time!!!

This is the context where you can appreciate great players like Mr. Weckl. No amount of chops in the world can demonstrate how good you are if can't interact smoothly with other musicians. Hats off to all musicians on the video. Keep music live!

Ooh, taste, touch and groove. Really enjoyed this

THAT'S MY HOMETOWN BOYS!!! ...soooooooooo glad I live in STL!! ...Amazing night!! My neighbor Kills them Drums!!! ...LOL

That is some of the most tasteful drumming you will ever hear!! No wonder he’s one of my favorite drummers!

Dave is an absolute master on the drums, I have been watching and learning from him for 40 years now! Since I was 15 years old. A great performance by all of the other immensely talented musicians too. Bravo 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎

Outtake?!!!! Holy moly!😮👍

I keep coming back to this video. so. much here. Love this

Man that wrists!! 🔥🔥🥁

Magistral!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Dave Weckl drumming is puts a smile on your face..great chops on dat song.

Master Weckl !

as always, The Best!

Great to see and hear a drummer who is TOTALLY in command of his instrument.

The entire band is excellent. That bass player would be great to work with, what a musician. Now about Dave, he's a monster. So relaxed, smooth, tasteful, and yet powerful. I love the doubles he plays around the set with double bass drum hits (one pedal) interspersed. Fantastic.

Legend!

Dave Weckl King 🥁❤🎷🎧

El Swing y toda la musicalidad en su máxima expresión !! Gracias Maestro Dave,maravilloso como siempre !!!

Immaculate rhythm, he makes that drumset sing

KZfaq has been feeding me this video pretty much daily for the past few weeks. Probably because I watch it every time, huh?

Skills. A lifetime of well-honed skills and a groove you cold drive a truck through. Dave’s feel and touch along with impeccable time is absolutely some of the finest ever. A master.

Such an inspiration

Please release a live album of the show!

Beautiful! Groovy as hell and that bassist! 😊

Dave W is the one of the very few GOAT's IMO.

Dave is as good now as he was in the 80’s. Really solid drummer👍

Amazing Groove ❤❤

Dave pense la batterie comme n'importe quel autre instrument de musique ...Toujours progresser , Il donne à la batterie , lui et quelques autres batteurs les lettres de noblesse à la batterie , tellement son jeu est précis ,fluide ,et maîtrisé ... Un maître incontestable et incontesté , de plus pour l'avoir rencontré en France , il est très modeste et simple humainement . superbe concert ici ! Merci cher Dave ! Mes amitiés de France !(un ami d'André Ceccarelli , batteur -compositeur et professeur )

Just imagine...you're on a layover in St. Louis and your connecting flight got cancelled...so you figure you'll hit the town for a few hours and find a hot band to pass the time. You walk into some place called the Sky Music Lounge...and Dave Effin Weckl ...THE BEST DRUMMER IN THE EFFING WORLD...is playing that night with a smokin hot quintet. Heaven! Even just on a casual gig...Dave's playing is a dream. Effortless, smooth, tight, musical (and the sound of the kit...wow!!!)...if there is such a thing as a perfect drummer...Dave is it!

Perfect groove, perfect playing! 🥃

I'm going to tell my STL family not to miss!

Grooooooooove, for days!!

Incredible grooving band!!!!

Amazing time and groove🥰👍

You guys are soo-o-o-o tight. Amazing. John king ~ How funky and sexy is that bass tone. It just throws me for a loop.

Dave your always in the pocket. Love your playing

I really think dat Dave is born with a pacemaker in his body...... drumming around the beat in every possible way but always back on time, tight as a duck's ass....😂 loving it
