Description

 Quote:An incredible audio/book/charts package which features an all-star band including Dave Weckl, Chick Corea, Michael Brecker, John Patitucci and Steve Lukather. A studio chart is included for each of the nine songs, plus a detailed book in which Dave describes his grooves and fills, and his analysis of each chart.That having been said, it’s a detailed and intense read. There’s a lot of information packed into a relatively short publication. I have frequently persuaded my drumming students to buy this package, but as soon as they’ve got it I’ve swiped it from them and gone through the entire text with a highlighter pen, to pick out the REALLY relevant parts, before giving it back to them. I think that helps. I’m not saying the rest of it isn’t relevant; just that there’s so much information contained in it, it could be a bit of a jungle for younger, less experienced drummers.Dave Weckl (born January 8, 1960) is a highly acclaimed jazz fusion drummer. His idol being the legendary drummer and big band leader Buddy Rich, Weckl majored in jazz studies at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. Starting out on the New York fusion scene in the early 1980s, Weckl soon found himself working with artists such as Paul Simon, Madonna, George Benson, Michel Camilo and Anthony Jackson. His most famous early work though, where his popularity blossomed, was in Chick Corea’s Elektric Band from 1985 to 1991.
