1987 Dave Weckl – Contemporary Drummer

From the Dave Weckl‘s website : An incredible Audio/Book/Charts play-along package, the first of its kind on this level, produced by Dave and Jay Oliver in 1988, features an all-star band including: Dave, Jay Oliver, Chick Corea, Michael Brecker, John Patitucci and Steve Lukather. Even Sheryl Crow sings a great song of Jay’s, showing her great vocal capabilities way back then.
The package was conceived and designed for the drummer to help prepare for a real studio situation. A studio chart is included for each of the nine songs, plus a detailed book in which Dave describes his grooves, fills, and his analysis of each chart.
In-depth transcriptions are also part of this now historical, very challenging package.
