Dave Weckl is
well-known for his musical and technical mastery of the
instrument. His clinics, Intensives, and video products have
helped establish Dave as one of the most articulate teachers of
his generation.
Here are some opportunities to learn with him:
The Dave Weckl Online School
The
Dave Weckl Online School offers a comprehensive and completely updated HD video
curriculum for drummers of all levels.
It includes lessons on hand and foot technique,
ergonomic drum setup, tuning, guest
instructors, play alongs, exclusive tour footage (with lessons
from the hotel), and a private Facebook group so that you can interact
with Dave, industry pros, and fellow members of the school!

Private Online Lessons Using
Zoom
For the first time, Dave Weckl is
offering private online lessons using Zoom! This is a
rare opportunity to
work one-on-one with a legendary performer and teacher.
Dave’s feedback and guidance will be priceless no matter
what your goals may be.
As you might expect, Dave offers a top-level experience,
with a four-camera setup and fully-mixed studio sound.
When he demonstrates something, you’ll be able to see it
from his left side, his right side, and directly
overhead. He can insert a foot cam on any shot.

Play Along Products
Dave was one of the first major artists to offer play along
products. They give
drummers (and other musicians) the opportunity to practice to
(and record their own versions of) Dave Weckl tunes.
Existing products include:
Singles You Can Purchase: Dave has a
number of individual tunes that are part of play along
packages. The packages, which sell for just $4.99, can
be downloaded in Dave's store. They include the tune, a
chart, and play along mixes (without your instrument).

to see them!
Convergence: Dave's entire 2014 release,
featuring a host of world-class musicians, is available
in play along format for drums and all other
instruments. Go here
to see what is available!
In Session: a play along package for
Dave's popular Rhythm of the Soul CD. Designed for
drums, keyboard, guitar, bass, and sax, only the drum and
keyboard versions are available
on Dave's site. Other instruments are out
of print, but may be available on Amazon, eBay, and elsewhere.
A Natural Evolution: "Exercises For
Natural Playing," a video from this series of three videos from
the 1990s, offers a play along track for "Tiempo de Festival" (Perpetual
Motion CD).

Dave Weckl One Day
Intensives
Dave periodically runs one day "intensives" for a maximum of 12
participants. These classes usually happen on the second day of
a planned clinic tour.
Dave provides practice pad kits for each participant and works
with the group on several areas of foundation.
Keep an eye on the
tour page
for upcoming intensives.
Private Lessons
A few times a year, Dave will accept private students into his
studio for one-on-one lessons. These are rarely planned in
advance and are best for drummers in the Los Angeles area (so
that Dave can schedule the lesson when time opens up).
Write to
questions@daveweckl.com if interested in a
lesson. We cannot promise that the opportunity will arise, but
Dave will hold on to your information if something opens up.
Drum Fantasy Camp
Dave often joins the staff of
Drum Fantasy Camp, an amazing educational
experience that runs at Chicago's Vic's Drum Shop in early
August. Other great instructors and a world-class band are
on-hand for small classes, nightly jams, and two concerts.
