Then Came You

Recorded October 14th 2005, this DVD documents a remarkable one-night-only performance by five of the biggest names in the drum world, as they play live onstage, both solo and then together in a show-stopping finale in a benefit for Right Turn.

You'll experience upclose: the amazing handwork of Prince's drummer John Blackwell; heavy-yet-tasty 'band approach' playing by Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers; classic rock icon Simon Kirke; and the firey, polyryhthmic, jaw-dropping ensemble playing of drummer's drummers Horatio 'El Negro' Hernandez and Eguie Castrillo.

Drummer's Night in Boston 2005 gives you unlimited access to the artists, with exclusive backstage interviews, and spirited performances captured live with multiple cameras in sparkling digital video and audio.

In this DVD Dave explains and demonstrates his natural approach to the drums. All of the topics discussed are explained and demonstrated on the drum pad and then on the drum set. Lastly, they are brought to life with exciting live recordings of the Dave Weckl Band and a special acoustic group put together for this DVD. The musicians featured include Buzz Feiten, Brandon Fields, Tom Kennedy, Jay Oliver, Ernie Watts and Steve Weingart.
The DVD will allow you see and hear Dave explain and demonstrate his new concepts of stick grip which leads to the contrast of his older tight into the kit approach as compared to his new flowing, powerful out the kit approach. He covers wrist technique, finger technique, and the rebound approach for both hands and feet. Stick choice and proper set up for flowing stress free playing are also covered. This DVD includes a cameo appearance by Fredie Gruber who explains some of the basics of technique that are cornerstones of Dave's playing.
