Dave Weckl plays Europe! 30 Years with Yamaha Drums Anniversary tour

Celebrating the “30 Year Anniversary” with Yamaha Drums we are proud to present drumming legend Dave Weckl for exclusive Clinics & Drum Intenisives in Europe.

For more than 30 years, Dave Weckl has developed and maintained a reputation among fans, peers, and the international music community as one of the greatest living drummers. For this, he has received numerous accolades and honours; Modern Drummer inducted Dave into their Hall of Fame and named him “one of the 25 best drummers of all time.”

Dave’s incredibly dynamic and diverse drumming, which has inspired musicians worldwide, is built on a solid foundation of knowledge and respect for music. Having performed with artists as diverse as Simon and Garfunkel, Madonna, Diana Ross, Peabo Bryson, George Benson, French Toast, Mike Stern and many others, Dave is also widely acknowledged for his tenure with Chick Corea in both his Elektric and Akoustic bands, with who he recorded nine albums and three videos, picking up a Grammy award along the way.

As a solo artist, Dave has recorded and produced nine recordings to date; including GRP/MCA solo releases Masterplan, Heads Up, and Hardwired. In 1998, Dave realised his long-time goal of forming a world-touring band. To date, the Dave Weckl Band has released five studio records, including: Rhythm Of The Soul, Synergy, Transition, Perpetual Motion and Multiplicity. The band also released its hot live album, LIVE (and very plugged in) and a compilation of DWB and instructional videos entitled The Zone.

As an educator, Dave is also known as one of the most prolific worldwide due to his numerous instructional videos and DVD’s, including his best-selling ‘Natural Evolution’ series and ‘Ultimate Playalong I & II’.

A constant student of the art of drumming and music, Dave gives back every chance he gets through clinics and classes all over the world. Of teaching, Dave says: “It is my goal to inspire as many young (and not-so-young) people as possible to want to play music, whether it be on drums or another instrument. With all the negatives in the world today, I feel this is my way of contributing a positive action toward spiritual happiness, which music can be a big part of, if you let it. So parents, if your child has a talent for music, please allow them the opportunity to develop that talent!”
