Good drummers are hard to find
author: Musicodendron
Good drummers don't die and they don't fade away, they just keep drumming into your brain cells until you finally get the message. Now, when a good (read: great) drummer can write good (read: great) songs and produce a great CD, you don't just "get" the message, you can live it every day, by way of their CD! The music on Dick Weller's latest CD is just this kind of combination and well worth the time and small expense. Well-crafted and contemporary, his music is deceptively "easy" listening, but like most things important or profound, the message comes through succintly and with class. Don't be fooled by its smooth style; the "edge" lies between the lines, in its spaces and harmonies. Listen carefully for his rhythmic, soulful percussive drive. He has crafted an excellent series of songs guaranteed to satisfy listen after listen. Thank you, Mr. Weller, for providing us with a compendium of tasteful and interesting songs. We look forward to your next effort.

Great CD !
author: Craig Pilo
This CD is far superior to most drummer CD's. Dick far outdoes himself in both musicality and songwriting. Not only is Dick one of my favorite drummers here in LA, but this is quickly becoming one of my favorite CD's. Pick yourself up a copy and treat yourself to a great listening experience.
