If Dave did much of that kinda stuff I think it would be more out in the open. I don't think he's even done much in the pop world. "Like a Virgin" was enough. Let's do some jazz and my own band :lol:

I'm not really sure DW plays on "Like A Virgin"... :roll:
He did some stuff on the album, some overdub here and there, but I don't think he actually played full drum on some songs.
The late Tony Thomson did it, and as Nile Rodgers was producing the album, it makes sens. ;)

"I need to fix the rumor about Madonna. The only thing I did with her were overdubs on 'Like A Virgin.' Basically, I didn't play drums. I played tom toms on part of a song. That was it," Weckl confessed.

And already at that point it was enough pop music for Dave. :lol:

PS : I played A LOT on his "Rainy Day", remember ? From his "Contemporary Drummer + One", I loved that song. ;)

Talking about commercial tracks Dave Weckl has recorded for:
Did him on Engelbert Humperdink's hot version of Cuando Cuando Cuando. He really lays a
nice pocket and keeps the feel from beat one to end.
