I feel very fortunate to have seen Dennis perform about 25 years ago when I first was introduced to jazz. He played at Binghamton University with Mike Stern and Lincoln Goines...blew me away. I've been a fan ever since. Dennis is a giant.
He is so unique. Good lord. So conceptual. His musical ideas are so interesting. In regards to what he's doing around 2 minutes, he's keeping time with his right foot and snare then speeding up his "time keeping" right hand. Then he does the opposite. It's like he's playing call and response with the tempo. Like the tempos are talking to each other. Like the tempo IS the music, not just a framework for it to sit in. So weird. So interesting.
ah.....wow....lol...he just continues to amaze me....he is one of the best drummers in the world over the past 25+ years....thats feels amzing to say in its self.
When I search TH-cam for best black drummers of all time and this Dude doesn't show up in the first few pages it makes me very sad and weep for the genre. This man's work cannot be lost amongst the noise, please don't let it be so.
Andy Boily why would you limit him to just a black drummer? His ability crosses all racial and cultural divides. That's what make him great! Don't be so closed mined.😳
What's even more incredible is that he's a self-taught drummer AND he plays "all genres" of music to perfection which his puts him in a class with a very select few...he's untouchable!!!
I purchased this DVD years ago. The only way I could find to buy it was from SLP Electronics, the company that produced the video. It's called "SURROUNDED BY DRUMS," from 2001, demonstrating the studio's state-of-the-art technology....recording in Surround Sound. It has 2 solos and interviews from each artist --- D. Chambers, Simon Phillips, Kenny Aronoff and Mel Gaynor.
I had a copy of the 5.1 version of this! The mic manufacture's original design started as a Hoola-Hoop on tall legs with 5 Mics mounted on it above the drums! Yes I do remember!
Thank-YOU, DrummaAddict! That was mAHvelous! I am left awe-struck every time I. Catch a glimpse of this man with sticks in his hand. I feel like I've followed him all my life. Actually, that's pretty close to true, and I'm a young lady in her … umm … er … what I meant to say is, and I'm 49 years young! ;-)
Anyone who thinks Chambers sucks feel free to post your solo video and show him and us how it's done. If you're going to talk the talk, walk the walk..
5:24 he did a mistake whit his snare and dont like, lol Dennis always be one of my best drummer ever and still no one play like him, i work his solo BDBD HH then swing ride and always single stroke on snare and it part of my solo now tanks MR. Chamber to open me the door on that one, always love you king Dennis Chambers !
I hear one William Cobham. I love his sound on this recording. Everything is separate and beautiful. Haters go home. Dennis is just doing his thing. Everyone can't be Vinnie and Gadd.
I have much respect for Dennis Chambers. What I find highly amusing is the number of critics who are obviously so much better players than him. They don't just leave, they want us to have an argument with them! OK STFUAFO! Go!
You have to be a drummer I think to really appreciate how good this guy really is. Yea. i was one about 35 years ago. Maybe I'll get one of those electric sets with head phones so I dont drive the family nuts. Could be theraputic?
+Gretchluver1 Chambers has worked under Pearl Drums and only the Best or 100% Custom Pearls 100% this set is diff.not just Pearl Masters or MMX Thanks Tho.

us drummers will always b in this guys shadow
Dennis Chambers is "Greatness" in action...always was...always has been and always will be!!!!!! The man man is phenomenal!!!!!!!
This solo reminds of me of Cobham's style when playing solos. Great stuff.
WOW! Way to go Dennis!!! One of the greatest going. Incredible.
I like how he doesn't move around a whole lot, but every once in a while he just spazzes out.
There´s no doubt, one of the best drummers ever.....
Just Pure Groove and Skills and Passion!
One of my favorit drummers. I use his signature zildjian sticks long time ago, they´re perfect, And i have his pearl signature snare too xD

Chamber to open me the door on that one, always love you king Dennis Chambers !
That really is the best snare sound.
all his kit sound so amazing bd, toms, floors, snare, cymbals, i wish one day get that sound
Sound so good.freaking fast hands
Dennis Chambers is the man
I think those may be the best sounding drums I have ever heard. The kick and the toms I would pay big bucks for samples of.....
Yep, very nice
His solo reminds of Billy Cobham's solo called Last Frontier.
Dennis ,tiene mucha precision,feel y amor por lo que hace ,una amplia variedad de artistas tocan con gusto junto a el ,por algo sera. .
RestDayer: Genius, the Super Bowl always starts with a coin toss too. This guy was superb with Funkadelic and is a master.
@funktron4 ..Self taught also..I love his playing..
that over head is sick sounding
those polyrhythms start around 1:40 ...... good god
a great drummer
his snare sounds sooo sexy, like somthing out of the 60's
Thrillin'
@DrummaAddict Yeah...EXACTLY!!
I hear one William Cobham. I love his sound on this recording. Everything is separate and beautiful. Haters go home. Dennis is just doing his thing. Everyone can't be Vinnie and Gadd.
Stormy drummer !!!!
Dennis chambers,danny carey,gavin harrison,chris coleman,tony royster jr,are some of the top drummers of all time...and theres loads more out there
the man is a monster
@winner0loser Yeah, I'd love to hear the finished tracks!
At about 2 min. in, I think he was gonna fall asleep from boredom. He's so sick!
you sir, are god.
He is a monster
ele é o cara
Holy shit.
Not human
Drummers best Dream !
definetely one of the best. omg he's fast..

he is an ALIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
No vinnie colaiuta !! is an ALIENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
hes the best
hasn't lost anything at all over the years.
Can't listen to this without thinking of Tony Williams.
In the style of Billy Cobham for sure, very cool
@RestDayer and just because of that, you can predict what he's going to play?...teach me your magical ways.
I have much respect for Dennis Chambers. What I find highly amusing is the number of critics who are obviously so much better players than him. They don't just leave, they want us to have an argument with them! OK STFUAFO! Go!
I believe it is to reduce "bleed", bassdrum signal that gets picked up by the snare mic for instance.
ho we have a genius soundman here...lol
@triforce10155 yeah. he almost always starts with snare then toms. almost always.
@DrummaAddict , I guess because he's just... awesome. :-)
CHOPS and GROOVE, he's got tons of both
Dennis has the grove of death.
He is.
Holy Shit²
You have to be a drummer I think to really appreciate how good this guy really is. Yea. i was one about 35 years ago. Maybe I'll get one of those electric sets with head phones so I dont drive the family nuts. Could be theraputic?
Mr Tornado ;)
@drulius sure. if you choose to ignore what i said - that almost all his licks start with the snare drum.
Anyone can tell me, what kind of cymbals he used there ?
Would be great to have new stuff like that video with Scofield playing Parliament Funkadelic... learnt a lot with
@Walterdrumsful I can‘t belive somebody put the name Travis Barker in the same video that Dennis Chambers is, THAT IS A BLASFEMY! OMG!
every once in a while i try something like this..my neighbors hate me
The Big Boyz get to Play The MasterWorks.:) Mike D.
+Michael Drexler Judging by the badges, this kit is just a Pearl Masters. Most likely the MMX line.
+Gretchluver1 Chambers has worked under Pearl Drums and only the Best or 100% Custom Pearls 100% this set is diff.not just Pearl Masters or MMX
Thanks Tho.
