Dave Weckl Controlled Strokes Warm-Up 

Same experience here!! It’s what drove me to keep going ever since I checked out the VHS tape from the university library in 1996-1998 (I think that was the time period).

Back to basics is invaluable school! I constantly going back to it because everything in it so true and purposeful.

Our master always practice and found new technique, i agreed with you, and i realized that he change the technique on the next step lesson, thats the signs that he always practice and practice,,thanks master dave...🙏🙏🙏

I add Todd and Simon as well. They live to play as I do. Im not a professional but love to play and learn.

Not "The Greatest Ever"?

@@administration8961 nope; because that is 100% subjective

Nope. Art Blakey. Gene Krupa. Buddy Rich. Steve Gadd. Alex Acuna. You must've only ever listened to Dave Weckl. Broaden your horizons

@@administration8961 One of in light of the fact that there is no greatest since no single drummer has it over on all others in every aspect of drumming. No one is a better Vinnie than Vinnie, just as no one is better at being Buddy than Buddy. Who can do what Virgil Donati does better than Virgil? Chris Coleman? And so on down the line. We must give credit where credit is due. Peace...

@@Smittyschannel Not really, buddy. He is factually "one" of the greatest. Had I said "THE" greatest, then that specificity relegates the statement to subjectivity, but the generality of the statement and the fact that he is technically more proficient than most who have ever lived makes it a factual reality. He's on many of the top drummers of all-time lists to boot. We can factually state that some athletes are bigger, stronger, faster, etc than others. The same applies to music and drumming. Not many can come close to what Dave does. Actual drummers know this fact. I'm a huge Neil Peart fan and even I had to explain to a friend one day why Neil wasn't even close to Weckl in ability. He just wouldn't believe me until I posted the Sabian cymbal ad that Weckl, Peart, Portnoy and Bozzio did together where Neil literally thanked Dave for giving them all a lesson after each had played and Weckl had just finished playing. Bozzio was dumbstruck and told Weckl that it was hard to even focus on the cymbals because of how amazing Dave played. There are levels to every game. Weckl is cream of the crop.

The majority of people arnt good teachers.

Vinnie comes across really shy and awkward on camera. On stage he's an animal but it seems he's not comfortable speaking on camera like Dave..Maybe I'm wrong 🤔

We have to be realistic in that what Dave and Vinnie can do on drums most people who ever lived will never be able to accomplish. We know that over and above practice and learning is inborn ability and genius. It's a sight to behold watching these guys play.

Vinnie's a weird motherfucker. I'll just leave it at that.

@@BaconIsNotBiceps these two titans have busted their asses for years at this instrument. Something to admire

For real! Using more bounce now and when shown side by side, right hand and left are actually gripping at the same point on the stick (I.e., the flag on VF)

ok, ok...

Hope it payed off in DOLLARS and CENTS, otherwise it's a very selfish endeavor!

ok, ok.....
