I haven't seen him mentioned in this thread, but I was introduced to the phenomenal drummer Dave Weckl through Chick Corea and his Elektric Band. In my mind, Dave is the best drummer alive today. The mix of technical and musical skills is super impressive. After Dave played with Chick and the Elektric Band he's done several albums and is all over the place sharing his gift with folks from around the world. Look him up, you won't be disappointed.

It's fun because as a drummer not that much into jazz or fusion I got introduced to Chick Corea through Dave Weckl (which yes is the best drummer alive and maybe of all time) :)

Consequently, I'm currently watching this one because my first reflex this morning was to type "Dave Weckl Chick Corea" on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-XZu8DBLSs

And speaking of Dave Weckl I can't resist posting this one with the late Didier Lockwood https://youtu.be/K-R9u-1R1FI
