    The man’s a legend, and the Master Plan was my initial intorduction to jazz. In my late teens Dave quickly became one of the top artists on my playlists - and perhaps an unlikely one given that the lists had previously consisted of underground thrash metal bands. I love how Dave’s music opened a whole new musical world to me. Much respect, always loved your playing, still do.

    This guy still has that flare 🔥...I loved this whole album when it came out...and its still one of my favorite songs. If you ever get a chance to see him perform live!❤ do it!! while you can he plays like a machine,his technique is incredible🤯...you will not be disappointed. ALso, my wife treated me to a drumcamp some many years back, Dave and Steve Smith were very nice approachable guys to talk to and share information with unlike, some of the others who were there. So, thanks for the music and inspiration over the years. D.W. 🎶🥁😎

    Unmatched fluidity and dynamics by any drummer I've ever heard in any genre in my 24 years of playing! You can even remove the music and drumming will be a story for itself, yet it perfectly compliments the music and never feels or sounds contrived or "overplayed". That's why Dave is my number one drummer of all time.🍻

      Simon is no slouch! 🤣 Seriously though I hate "the best drummer" label, just too many talented drummers to exclude if you break them down to one.....Carl Palmer, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich,Max Roach, Billy Cobham....you see what I mean? There's elite drummers and good drummers. I'd say Weckl is in the elite category. 😉

    Happy to be the 1st comment here - Dave, can't thank you enough - been following you since the mid 80's - IMO you're the best overall drummer in history (technique, feel, groove, versatility, professionalism, body of material) - I'm a pro fusion drummer now because of your influence/style - really appreciate all that you've brought to the music world - continued success & best wishes!

    Hi Dave!
    I've been to concerts where you played with bands like the Elektric Band or the Dave Weckl Acoustic Band, but I've never seen you perform Tower of Inspiration. Even though I've seen you play Tower '99 in some video clips, I've never seen "Tower of Inspiration" you performed. I really appreciate that you uploaded "Tower of Inspiration" that you played. This reminds me of the year 1990 when I bought your first solo CD. Thanks a lot!

    I remember shedding this song when it came out back in 89? 90? I was a kid in brooklyn, 14 or 15 and decided I had to learn this. I would have killed for a lesson like this back then! Dave became my drum hero. I was a "prodigy" and could play note for note just about anyone but there was something about Dave that blew my mind and still does to this day. I will say it...Dave Weckl is the most musical and dynamic drummer I have ever heard and I studied them all. He is just in a league of his own with his musicality and ability to convey. On top of that he is his influences have brought out the most wonderful sense of rhythm the world has ever heard. Dont misunderstand me, Vinnie and Virgil and Thomas, Chris and Mike and Buddy and Elvin and on and on are all genius's but Dave Weckl is still the most special out of anyone who has ever lived. Chops wise he is very elite, maybe not to Virgil or Chris level but that might just be double bass or music style related I have a hard time thinking Dave couldn't play anything he wants to if he set his mind to it but when I look at overall musicianship, for me Dave Weckl is the greatest drummer to have ever lived.

    I can only say that Dave Weckle is more sophisticated and amazing, with the same technique and motivation as he got older. I've always liked this song as well. You can't talk about a drummer without knowing Dave's charm. He's my drum mentor in a way. In particular, the fusion of Latin and jazz is attractive.
