DAVE WECKL - The thread about Dave

[Steve Holmes]

Lucas - great job on the video. Great playing on there. I wish the bass wasn't so "direct" sounding is my only nit-pick. Guess there's no getting around that.

[Lucas Ives]

Yeah, the mix only had the direct signal for the bass (and no room mics) -- shooting / recording the whole thing was a last-minute decision, we just kinda flew by the seat of our pants. Glad you liked it! It was fun to do, first time I'd ever edited any sort of multicam shoot.

Yeah man, as if I wasn't already excited to hear this release! Great job on the video, Lucas!

[Rhythmatist]

Yeah +1 Lucas. I saw a teaser for this group a little earlier this year and have been anticipating that release even more than the mega project. I mean Dave with Makoto Ozone, Tom and Gary...that's a stellar lineup! The snippets of tunes on that vid have me very excited indeed!!!

New interview from Drummerstalk.
Watching now.

[Juan Expósito]

I liked the interview.
Some funny Weckl´s moments, with a lot of topics: practicing, family, health, traditional/matched grip...
Thanks Drummerstalk.
Thanks Dave, again.

[Rodge]

That guy sucks, he does not know that Dave is into sound and cars ?!!!
Come on, 2014...
Dave is indeed a legend, you're into him, you know everything about him, even that he has a daughter and he has been divorced, that's one the reason why he switched from Z to Sabian, anyway...

[Julián Fernández]

You´re right, Rodge... You have 30 minutes to ask anything you want to a living legend, and you ask the same old questions that Dave already answered a million times before?
Ugh, do some research man... The outcome could be much better...

[Steve Holmes]

This is why I need to interview Dave. =)

[Juan Expósito]

About the interview: yes, some of the same questions but I found it entertaining (and I´ve watched/read almost every Dave´s interview). Dave always add some detail or explanation to the same question.

And if you guys could make some questions to Dave, which ones would be?

Quickly I would do these (thinking more now):

- Tell us some stellar/challenging moments about Chick Corea E. Band rehearsals/recordings.
- Three names come to mind in the fusion/contemporary drumming: Vinnie, Dennis and Dave. Could you tell us something special about their playing, some stories together...

Steve, that interview would be GREAT !!
Start it now man !!
