HAD THIS ON VHS!! my drum teacher at the time borrowed it and stretched the hell out of it trying to learn the solos. ruined it couldnt watch it again. its been over 20 years since iv seen this again!!! thank you soo much!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOO!
yes he is. so much musicality and melody. notice how there is always a context and a direction in every musical decision he makes? some of the drummers on here, although great in their own way sometimes it just became flexing chops. js. but i digress
I think that Dave is probably the most 'intelligent' drummer to emerge on the scene in the last 30 or so years.. Vinnie, Gadd, Keith Carlock are all absolutely incredible drummers, no doubt about that, but you rarely see them teaching their craft the way that Dave ALWAYS has, and still does, to this day. I'm a huge fan of all of the above, as well as (obviously) the late great Jeff Porcaro, but Dave is almost TOO good. His phrasing is insane.
Tony Williams solo is amazing. His musicality; technique, groove and swing are unsurpassed. We can only try to imagine what could have been. Best ever in my opinion.
Was taking lessons with Tony and he said he was off to london for a zildjan day. When he came back I said look forward to getting the video. He said he was unhappy with his performance and would not allow its release. And here it is.
This is a Gem. I've been looking for this session for a long time. I had it recorded on cassette tape. I believe it was played on a weekly radio show which was narrated by Branford. Used to drive around, delivering pizzas, jamming to this session all night long.
You could see what was to come even when we were teens in India! A great player, even if given nothing more than a table! :) His mom was a wonderful singer as well!
@@musopaul5407 I spent an evening in a hotel room in Manhattan with Trilok, Zakir and one of the Beach Boys after a concert at Madison Square Garden for an anniversary of the UN. One hell of a lot of fun with tablas, glasses, tables, voices etc! :)
Well, what can I say? Long lived the makers and users of Zildjian then. And hey, thanks for showing us some of, if the the oddest and special. But certainly the greatest examples of drummers. One conclussive word; Wow!
Gerry Brown is so underrated man he,s on the first Rtf album and that is before any one even played that stuff and listen to it and its sooo long ago, the first album I believe and a totally different style like really jazzy and God wayyy back then he was playing and swinging like nobody else ever did for that totaly , totally different RTF Album period ,Go andd try and play along with it . man , you just didn't hear from him after that or in general and that stupid comment saying ,naghhhh! Like he's no good man that person is and can't or will never even get near his ,or become good before he doesn't even have ti natural part to recognize, playing skills of Mr.super sweet Gerry Brown and that,s a dead part in your poor soul that you just have too have even before you pick up the sticks ! Period again ! Man yeah I've seen them all but Dennis is and he first came out especially with the Scofield band ,man that s---- was incredible and then the video tape of him and the band at him alone with Garryon bass doing all that stuff ,just the two of them,, Nobody ever heard a Dennis Chambers like that dropped out of a space ship, with extra limbs at the time ,his off beat stuff like that and his speed like he just ended now and the Scofield albums were iffy the hook and on the live steely Dan Album, his playing on that album was furious Realin in the years, Babylon sister,s dragon that stick holie Christ,yDidd ever kn thar Erskine was on there ,it sure didn't help him ,sorry to sAy but I say that and I also pray for him but that is personal thing that waas said , and the only reason that im saying some thjnv mim thAt. My phone is glitching In d All fd up now see butGerry Brown cA Play and swing so beautiful And so muy more i hate hearing dumb stuffike that totaly dumb comment on brwn .the old me on a rare night,id be talking to you would be listings on bouy my phone t dead thank gi for you and ilisay god bless you all! N saved ! N no
Just when I was starting to feel I was getting the hang of it and letting it flow all proud of myself I messed up and watched this. Back to remedial drumming I go. Wow. Just Wow. Sometimes being humbled in another's light is better than shining in your own. Much gratitude to the divine for making such talented individuals for us to enjoy.
For 45 years there has but one man who occupies the #1 spot for me, never to be dethroned. That man is Dave Weckl. No smoother, more fluid, melodic, musical, technical drummer has ever lived. His style should be mandatory. His transitions are impeccable. His phrasing is awe-inspiring. His groove is astounding. His pocket is deep. He is as consummate as they come. At this level it is merely a matter of taste. Vinnie, Donati, Borlai, Smith, Sucherman, Coleman and a fistful of others are equal to, or close to, the task, but Dave's style, for me, is unsurpassed.
They have no muffling at all. He never uses dampening on his toms or snare. They are wide open. He tunes them with more tension on both heads on this video. Maybe it is a noise gate. I noticed a gate on Vinnies solo.
Correction my friend not everybody. Tony has bigger ears and is much more difficult to copy I could say much more but you get the idea .But they are all great....
Tu devrais consulter la vidéo à nouveau car il semble que tu sois passé à côté de beaucoup. Si tu écoutes les performances simplement (sans les regarder) tu devrais percevoir la musicalité là où elle t'avait échappée auparavant. 👍
You're obviously not being serious. Virgil is amazing, but he isn't even in the same league as weckle , but to be fair, nobody really is. @@jumpinjojo
Gerry was the suprise. Simon is on fire and the Cobham influence from playing to the kit and cymbais. There are much better performance of the others elesewhere.
You can tell the difference between the guys that just feel it and the ones that are determined to learn paradiddles, rudiments, etc. For me it is guys like Gadd and WIlliams,,,.. I'm not as interested in someone like Phillips.

I’m really glad to see Trilok Gurtu getting the respect he deserves
Trilok Gurtu ....this alien from India i had the pleasure to see live in Paris in 1999 what an amazing live
Simon Phillips tore that up !!
Ok..Dave Weckl is just straight out anointed....
HAD THIS ON VHS!! my drum teacher at the time borrowed it and stretched the hell out of it trying to learn the solos. ruined it couldnt watch it again. its been over 20 years since iv seen this again!!! thank you soo much!!!!!
WOOOOOOHOOOO!
Tony Williams the best of the best. So much heart and blood and guts in his playing.
There's no best of the best
I think Tony is No.1!!!
I feel the universe and soul on his playing.
Erskine, amazing phrasing and dynamics. .
Yes, yes, yes…..Erskine is fire. Love his live work with Steely Dan,,,just wow. His drums sound amaaaazing!!! 👍
This upload is a gem, Thanks
What an unbelievable flow Vinnie has on the kit!! I have lots
of audio bootlegs of his clinics and he always sounds fresh.. Amazing!
Best era of Simon, the 80s! Ferrari Red outfit, Tama Artstars, Zildjian cymbals and in the Jeff Beck Group!
So jealous of Erskine’s touch and feel. Gerry Brown too. Damn that’s a good video.
Pretty much all these guys are legends
Weckl is a BEAST! Also love the face he makes at 3:26 😆

The guy has the whole package. And yes I I do think he is highly intelligent
I love all these guys, but none make me want to play my drums more than Tony Williams! Madman...
the all in one utube video with my favorite drummers
Tony Williams solo is amazing. His musicality; technique, groove and swing are unsurpassed. We can only try to imagine what could have been. Best ever in my opinion.
I love Tony!!!!
Always this annoying "Best ever" nonsense comment
@@Martin_Bernard 😂👌🏻
My favorite Weckl era.
Weckl plays groovy! so delicious!
simply the best living drummer
Tony and Vinnie are two cats that can do something so left field and it still sounds great.
Was taking lessons with Tony and he said he was off to london for a zildjan day. When he came back I said look forward to getting the video. He said he was unhappy with his performance and would not allow its release. And here it is.
The zildjian day he did here was from Scotland

Trilok on the same level than Vinnie, I really love to see this guy playing a traditional set.
Freaking monster.

A Percussionist will never be on the same level as the Kit. Never.
I would love to see them play together.
Gush...i love every single one with His own signature, excellent show of skill varieté
Friendships and thank you so much ! (a ex-drummer of Rhoda Scott , Guy N'Sangué and others artists !!! )
there are no words to describe these absolute Supermasterdrummers in this world and this century and past..
It is the most awesome thing ever Bro!
I am a huge fan of all the drummers here but what Gerry starts at 11:00 just blows me away.
And he even tops it here 11:44.
Unbelievable ...

@@sticktrik Just listen again. You'll get a honest opinion without prejudice. Music is the only language spoken here.👍
This is so inspiring. I love drums
Thank you for all the great's videos
Hope you put more.
Rafael
Good form Dave!!
peter erskin walks around like that. just straight musicality in everything he does.
Steely Dan 'Alive in America' is a brilliant example of just how good Peter Erskine and Dennis Chambers are.
American One Productions Rehearsal and Drum Studios in NJ gives two thumbs up 👍🏻🥁👍🏻
Nice how 2/3rds of the drummers featured in the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert in 1989 were involved here
This was the best of the best!!
Thanks for upload, I had this on vhs and have been searching years for this
Not enough can be said about Tony Williams.
You are right.
👍I bet Tony Williams was a huge fan of Dave's!
Just when I was starting to feel I was getting the hang of it and letting it flow all proud of myself I messed up and watched this. Back to remedial drumming I go. Wow. Just Wow. Sometimes being humbled in another's light is better than shining in your own. Much gratitude to the divine for making such talented individuals for us to enjoy.
In the 90s I used to travel an hour on the train on weekends to go to the drum shop, where they'd play videos like this.

Trilok! Yeah!!!
I like Tony’s DW kit more than his Gretsch. 👍👏🤟
Cool Man.
Beautiful!
WOW just stumbled on this ... DENNIS CHAMBERS HANDS ARE FASTER THAN MY EYES.....
40:34 Peter Erskine's is not the flashiest, but it goes the deepest.
4:52 lo mejor que le he visto hacer🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Akira is old school awesome for us 80’s kids.
As well as the anime
Omg Dennis Killed
Trilok Gurtu is best of the earth!
Nice solos guys😁
Tony Williams 🖖🏿
Great Performances.
....Weckl hand down !!!
Love to watch Tony Williams. His toms are quite muffled. Interesting tuning. You hear it well on Believe it.
I think it's maybe because it's a DW kit and not his gretsch... Especially the Bass drum has got no real tone - I was a little cunfused too
They have no muffling at all. He never uses dampening on his toms or snare. They are wide open. He tunes them with more tension on both heads on this video. Maybe it is a noise gate. I noticed a gate on Vinnies solo.
just perfect video my Friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trilok Gurtu should be committed for that insanity... W O W!!!
Look for 21 species. Together with Mr. Phillips
Simon added another 200 drums since this footage!!!!
Incredible drumming at Zildjian Days! Unfortunately, much of the audio was not so great.
Even though there are some of the biggest names ever I'm liking trilok the best, so different so interesting
Unique tone production. I just wish he would learn to count in English.
Simon Phillips♪♪♫☺♥♥‼‼‼...
Love Weckl's early stuff, always doing a comp over an 90's VHS porn video soundtrack 😁
Trilok Gurtu is a great example of sing it in your head before you play it. He KNOWS where he is.
13.30 his solo starts
Tony is just beautiful
45:00 Dennis
4:52 Weckl in beast mode
I refuse to believe Vinnie was following a pulse. There's just no way
I still don't understand why everybody always places Buddy Rich in front of Tony Williams
Ordinary People prefer “Circus” shows 😉
Correction my friend not everybody. Tony has bigger ears and is much more difficult to copy I could say much more but you get the idea .But they are all great....
I Love vídeos 🇧🇷😀🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
All are great but Akira Jimbo clearly had the most musical solo here
Seul Peter Erskine reflète le rôle d'1 batteur à savoir, être musical !
Tu devrais consulter la vidéo à nouveau car il semble que tu sois passé à côté de beaucoup. Si tu écoutes les performances simplement (sans les regarder) tu devrais percevoir la musicalité là où elle t'avait échappée auparavant.
👍
50:50 what a KING
Those annoying camera transitions omg. This Is gold though
No matter how many drummers I hear, none of them can touch Weckl.
You need to get out more!
Virgil Donati makes him look like a choir boy.
You're obviously not being serious. Virgil is amazing, but he isn't even in the same league as weckle , but to be fair, nobody really is. @@jumpinjojo
He really is the goat. Nobody has ever done it better than weckle in my opinion.
Chambers cant do that today ?
50:50 Dennis being Dennis....
Gerry was the suprise. Simon is on fire and the Cobham influence from playing to the kit and cymbais. There are much better performance of the others elesewhere.
Tony was great - all the others just relied on their over-used licks to the point of being boring..
46:27 how you did it ????
Doubles
Dennis Chambers; 'Follow that, motherfuckers!'
Gerry Brown being Gerry Brown
33:30
young simon was brutal!
Totally 😻
Tonyyy
In the McDonald’s Yellow and Red DW Kit!
Wow Tony on the DWs have only seen pictures of this kit before this is a gem
Trilok Gurtu = half human + half god......
Can’t stand the music, but the drumming is incredible
☀️😆🍏💙
3:26 Awkward eye contact.
The toms are Drums from Jamie’s crying he’s copying Alex VanHalen
Yeah Gadd is good, but that MacDonald guy is dancing like a gay demon 33:54
You can tell the difference between the guys that just feel it and the ones that are determined to learn paradiddles, rudiments, etc. For me it is guys like Gadd and WIlliams,,,.. I'm not as interested in someone like Phillips.
yeah those dw s Tony played sounded like shit but Tony played great!
Dennis Chambers drinking from a bottle, really? What he lacks in style and groove,
makes up in speed, his go-to skill.
Cocaine was a hell of a drug. Lol
