NEW Singles: Handpan + Drumset
Dave is creating duets with himself: Handpan + Drumset tunes that he is composing and recording/filming. Two tunes have been released and more are on the way!
“A couple years ago, I was introduced to the handpan. I found it very enjoyable to play, especially when incorporating some drum techniques with ideas of advanced rhythms I apply to the drum set. My approach to playing this instrument may not be ‘as per usual’, but that’s what making music is all about for me; making it my own and enjoying the process of creating ideas, composing, performing, and mixing/production.” - Dave Weckl

Convergence is a recent project from Dave Weckl and Jay Oliver. Jay was a major creative force behind Dave's first three solo releases and two Dave Weckl Band records (Rhythm of the Soul and Synergy).
Convergence reunites these longtime musical counterparts with 10 new songs. Highlights of the album include a remake of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground," a nod to 1990's "Master Plan" which featured two drummers. This time, it's Dave, the incredible Chris Coleman, a first-call horn section, three gospel singers, and legendary players including Dean Brown (guitar) and Jimmy Johnson (bass).
Convergence also features a collaboration with Bill Whelan (Riverdance) that was partially recorded in Ireland, a saucy New Orleans-insprired tune, two jazz tunes, two "fusion" tunes, and two solo pieces (drums and keys).
Additionally, play along versions of each song are available in the Instructional section of the store, along with a full-length movie on the making of this album, which is available in the Solo Projects section.
Flies On The Studio Wall is the companion movie to the 2014 Convergence CD from Dave Weckl and Jay Oliver! It is available on Blu Ray (HD) and standard DVD in widescreen NTSC format and features more than two hours of footage!
As the name implies, Flies puts you in the middle of this recording project. Watch Dave and Jay as they rehearse and record each of the album's 10 songs. You get to see sessions with Mike Stern, Tom Kennedy, Gary Meek, Chris Coleman, and more! Dave's solos are captured from multiple angles.
Spend a full day with the crew at Sunset Sound during the recording of "Higher Ground!" Then, join Jay on his journey to Ireland where he joined Bill Whelan (Riverdance) to record some of Ireland's best musicians.
The film includes a comprehensive look at Dave's studio and gear, plus a section on Dave and Jay's formative years.
Filmed mostly with handy cams, Flies On The Studio Wall is raw and revealing. Total running time: 2:08.
Includes the tune, two play-along versions without drums (with and without click), and a chart!
