Dave Weckl Band Multiplicity Views
Dave Weckl (born January 8, 1960) is a highly acclaimed jazz fusion drummer. Weckl attended Francis Howell High School in St. Charles, MO and graduated in 1978. He 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, Robert Plant and Anthony Jackson. His most famous early work though, where his popularity blossomed, was with the Chick Corea Elektric Band from 1985 to 1991.
After leaving Corea, Weckl's recorded and toured with guitarist Mike Stern.[3] Under his own name, he has been the leader of ten recordings since 1990, seven of which as the Dave Weckl Band. Dave endorses Yamaha Drums, Sabian Cymbals and Vic Firth Drumsticks, all of whom he has assisted with the design of new products, such as Sabian's HHX Evolution and HHX Legacy cymbal lines.
In 1985 Michael Brecker told Chick Corea to check out this new young guy in town, Dave Weckl, for his new p‘Elektric Bandu’. That was the beginning of a 7 year relationship with both the m‘Elektricn’ and j‘Akousticb’ Bands, where 9 recordings and 3 videos were produced, and the e‘Akoustic Banda’ winning a Grammy for the bandr’s first release. It was also the Elektric Bandt’s first recording where Davet’s spectacular drumming and innovative use of combining electric and acoustic drums really brought him world wide recognition.
