Hmmm. I'm on the fence with this. On the one hand I agree with you, Rodge. On the other I think back to the Bill Connors album 'Step It' where Weck had a Chad meets Gadd vibe. I understand that was then and this is now, so...

I wasn't sure how Ersko would fit with Allan but he killed it:

wow, now weck on that tune would be cool. guys thx for all the replies. im still would love to see weck with him but i get all the differing opinions for sure! thx

Because Erskoman can play anything. Peter plays the music with a lilt which gives the music a less linear and less robotic approach. That's what I hear in that clip.

Haha, nice one... While I get what you guys say, I can´t agree though. Dave would KILL with Allan.
Dave is one of those guys who never sounded out of place with anyone... Plus he rocks pretty hard with Stern!

Since when do Chad's drums sound bad? I have seen him play 6 feet away unmiked, twice. And once at MD Fest with AH. His drums sounded fantastic.
Chad has serious technique that creates a great sound.

I think any pro drummer at that level has a very clear vision of how they want to sound and at this point, people with that amount of experience, though always looking to improve like all of us, are probably the closest they've been to that vision right now.

It's just taste.

As a guitar player I could go through a list people with very clear, identifiable and famous sounds that I consider the most boring, flat and lifeless thing around, but both they and their fans dig it, so...

It's also no secret that what Mr. Good goes for in some, if not most of his creations is a bit off the mark compared to the warm, singing, mid-cutting sounds many of us know and love. I hear attack. I know there's a ton of bass, but that's pretty much lost unless you're right there in the room and in a range that's already pretty occupied.

One point for you hermano, true that Dave rocks hard with Stern, I forgot that gig !!!

Dude. He played with Madonna.
