the best off

Amazing playing!!

Sad that some people watching this just don't get it. Its way over some peoples head i guess. 95% of the drummers out there today should bow to Dennis. I think Simon Philips, Bill Bruford and Dave Weckl, and only a handful of others. to me, are the only people on his level today.

Karen Carpenter -nearly dead from anorexia nervosa and bulimia - was more musical on a drum set than most of what I have seen tonight.

@kdsf12 I saw Karen Carpenter drumming for the first time on you tube today and it totally blew me away, she was incredible!

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

@kdsf12

you're a fucking dumbass

[kdsf12]

@DrumCoalitionWithWar Thank-you for entertaining us with your elevated parlance.

He's "still" unmusical. He has the horror of all horrors for musicians: "mezzo forte itis". Ask any chamber musician: strings, woodwinds, percussion or brass. They will tell you that to be accused of "mezzo forte itis" is very, very bad.

"Like" VERY bad.

@kdsf12

he has the chops to play what he wants so he chooses to play out its gospel chops bitch!

[kdsf12]

At the same time, he doesn't know how to shut up. This is not "MUSICALLY" impressive. He has no texture, tone or dynamic. He has "mezzo forte itis".

He knows "hammer". He knows ONE DYNAMIC.

Big deal.

[vistalite8]

@kdsf12 maybe i´m wrong but i think that he chooses that dynamic level,it´s part of his way of expression,and for me, he´s very tastefull

[kdsf12]

@vistalite8 I think you hit the nail right on the head. "he chooses that dynamic". Yes, that means ONE dynamic.

Dynamics range from PPPPP all the way up to FFFFF. So, that's ten plus mezzo piano and mezzo forte. That makes twelve possible dynamics. He uses -as you put it- 'one'.

[thethreeheadedmonkey]

@kdsf12 Internet trolls stopped being even remotely interesting in 2008. Please give it a rest.

[kdsf12]

@thethreeheadedmonkey Thank-you for a musical response. You must be an excellent -and well trained- musician.

[brainchildroy]

wow folks.......

[jeromesnelling]

This is just amazing Dennis is looking at Mike like I'm getting ready to loose you.

[leomgonzalez]

Oh, you asshole! Dennis is working moving the metrics, is not out of time...!

[ValDemari]

Don't like this. Too much off beat whole time.

[Frisbieinstein]

[jmr2master]

I love how Dennis just looks at stern with that " Can I mess with your internal clock" while he does his time modding.

[noGoodNickLeftForMe]

@jmr2master Well, this is is a long story game.. they've been doing this kinda shit twenty years ago (with the Brecker bros. for example), and I reckon they still enjoy it ;-)

[jo3hnks]

he sings rock and roll from led zeppelin @ 5.12 (?) ! yeah!

[earcandy]

Hahaha, very creative ! Amazing solo !!!

[Musicaman12]

What Happend to Dave Weckl ?!?!

[Jazzelegance]

@Musicaman12 He was fired ! Just kidding, Stern interchanges them due to scheludes.

[annelles]

Dennis is amazing but when he just plays his own songs off the beat in the back I am ot sure I like this.

[andybata]

He is a GIANT

[HollywoodWags]
