A Natural Evolution:
How to Develop Technique
Produced by Carl Fischer Publishing on DVD and VHS, Dave
Weckl's first of three in the series "A Natural
Evolution" concentrates on explaining Dave's "natural"
approach to the drums. In his very approachable way,
with easy to understand language and careful
demonstrations using a drum pad and the drum set, Dave
explains his new concepts of stick grip/balance, wrist
technique, and the rebound approach for both hands and
feet, tying it all in with the application of live
performances by the Dave Weckl Band (featuring Jay
Oliver, Tom Kennedy, Buzz Feiten, and Brandon Fields). A
special appearance by Freddie Gruber enriches this
educational product.
Bonus features of the DVD include: alternate camera
angles, live concert footage from the "Drummers
Collective 25th Anniversary Concert in New York," an
exclusive interview with Dave Weckl, including in depth
discussions on the collection of cymbals he helped
create with SABIAN (HHX EVOLUTION-see the GEAR menu!).
The DVD is also in both English and Japanese languages.

A Natural Evolution:
How to Practice
The second Video/DVD in the series, "A Natural
Evolution," discusses practicing concepts, things to
practice, and applies some of the concepts learned in
the first Video/DVD. The viewer gets to see Dave
demonstrate and explain his own warm-ups, hand and feet
development, independence practice, and other
foundational types of practice. Once again, live footage
of the Dave Weckl Band is plentiful, with additional
live performances by a special acoustic group assembled
for the video, featuring Ernie Watts (saxes), Steve
Weingart (piano), and Tom Kennedy on acoustic bass.
For the DVD, there is bonus footage including alternate
camera angles, new live concert footage from the
"Ultimate Drummer's Weekend 2002" concert in Australia,
an exclusive interview with Dave, including in-depth
discussions on the collection of cymbals he helped
create with SABIAN (HHX EVOLUTION - see the
GEAR menu!). The

A Natural Evolution:
How to Develop Your Own Sound
In this very different video, the first of its kind
really, Dave explains and demonstrates all aspects of
developing your own sound.
Beginning with how to get a great acoustic sound, Dave
walks you through his approach to tuning the kit. He
then adds the mics, explaining the various types and
their functions, and guides you in suggested selection
and placement. Next, he shows the mixing console and
explains how frequencies, equalization and phase
cancellation can generally affect the sound of the drums
and music. He also briefly discusses the use of dynamic
processors, such as noise gates, compressors, and
reverbs. All of the explanation is clearly demonstrated
with visual graphs and audio reinforcement.
This is the most complete sound reinforcement
instruction ever developed for percussionists. Of
course, great performances by The Dave Weckl Band appear
throughout.

II
In this second video from the Working it Out:
Latin Percussion series, many styles are covered, from
reggae to various Latin rhythms.
Included are some great solos featuring Dave and

percussion on the drumkit. Walfredo Reyes Sr. is one of
the most innovative drummers/percussionists out there,

ago in his homeland of Cuba).
