Dennis Chambers - Rocky

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

Again with the Travis Barker shit? People, give it a fucking rest. Travis is great, Dennis is great, no more. They both have their place in the drumming community, and are irrelevant to one another. This is seriously fucking ridiculous.

[eqsmooth]

Once again a great drum video buzz killed by assholes talking about Blink 182. Fuck me! Just stop it. Really fucks up the whole experience of watching & listening to the next best drummer to Billy Cobham. How & Why does Barker ever come up as a topic. He's a forgettable reality show prick who knows snare drum rudiments.

[ComingThruTheDrRan]

0:05  john kerry after he lost the election!

[piano25]

Travis barker barks, Dennis plays!

[zonlicht1980]

it's so fucking SAD that people use Travis as comparing material...he's cute on drums but Dennis destroys Travis in a drumbattle...that's a FACT!!! Dennis masters the techniques, Travis can only dream about...

[CafeDkP13]

Dennys could give lessons to travis any day of the week ;D

[drummer4life54]

how can you even compare travis to this guy there playing two completely different fucking types of music

[jamesdancer73]

It's funny how if you went on a travis barker video and you said that dennis chambers is was much better they would probably all start crying and say how amazingly 'technical' travis barker's drumming is (phh!), but when you say that travis is rubbish on a video like this, everyone agrees because we are all musicians, not just people who 'wack an old drum', musicians know what good music is!!

[CafeDkP13]

definitly he was buddy rich's student.

[XxXmirandacookieXxX]

If you don't like Dennis Chambers drumming, then you don't like drumming at all.

[noaidie]

Music isn't a competition. . . It's a form of artistic expression.

[ThEpUrEfUcKiNmEtAl]

5 people has been eaten by dennis chambers

[Sashamanxyz]

I don`t like his drumming

[fnkdrmmr]

See more of Dennis Chambers on SoulDrummers . com

[brantan84]

dennis is a world-class drummer

[pooperscoopr69]

Those unmusical cretins who deposit Travis Barker's name in the same sentence with DC should be quarantined from civil society.

[efvio]

1:35 he's doubt

[drummakid101]

Those 5 people that disliked this adore Travis Barker.

[09maddox]

Fuck Travis Barker. Cookie Cutter Drummer .

[paulwall1981]

D Chambers is just a truly brilliant all round drummer, weather playing on his own or doing his Buddy Rich impersation like this. He is a reall outstanding showman and drummer.

[decadyne]

Huh?

Travis isn't even on the same planet....

Wait.

Travis isn't even in the same galaxy as Dennis Chambers. Dennis Chambers is an all-time great.

[Wonderize]

I really love Chambers, but still can't help feel his solos are just too fast and shreddy for my taste.

[SquierClassicVibe35]

Does this guy have any endorsements?

[Jaco979]

@SquierClassicVibe35 he's sponsered by pearl

[Moog168]

@SquierClassicVibe35 He's been with Pearl and Zildjian for yearrrsssss

[Beauxdeauxfinglok]

And with all those years working...he still can't help but look like a giddy schoolboy...sitting up there with Buddy's band...tearing it apart like his fantasies of youth.

[880906]

super dennis

[isiah1977]

I love DC set up.

[nolaeast]

It is funny how Dennis Chambers and Carter Beauford look alike, and both are outstanding drummers.

[bonzo1989]

lol carter is sick

[Moog168]

@bonzo1989 Carter is influenced by Chambers and Cobham :)

[PoeticJustice05]

@Moog168 and many others.

[Moog168]

@PoeticJustice05 Oh yes....plenty!

I'm from Baltimore it's very easy to find drummers thanks to Dennis lol

[JaySharp604]

I want his Tom's sound! deep and resonant, and perfect pitch! Who's your Tech!?!

[rockitmanley]

The drumming on this video is great. Dennis is a PRO! But the best part of this video is that Dennis did not have to wear onem of those horrible suits the rest of the band has on.

[holymoses1611]

is he musician or octopod?

[onesogreat77]

dennis plays funk.jazz,rock.bebop,fusesion,­hiphop and blues

[TBFVideoFeed]

Dennis, you are one of the many drummers who i look up to and i practice my ass off, hoping, one day, to play at your level, and someday... Beyond.

Alex Zobay- Drummer, Crude Legacy.

[boonehawks]

Dennis Chambers has the most powerful and fastest hands in the business, he hits all of the horn accents and is a true gentleman. Thanks Dennis !

[stixxandstones]

Dennis!!! Stop it!!! You killin' me!!! You make me want to pratice more w/ you siminars but quit when you play like this!! LOL!!!

[buggieman]

Yeah he may be a big dude, but he sure makes up for it when he's soloin'! Dude is burnin' mad calories! And all you haters out there, please shut the fuck up, with y'all non-musician selves!!1 You have no idea how much it takes to develop chops like that!!! Much respect due to musicians out there workin it out!!!

[SupermansWheelchair1]

Lets just say none of us could do that. There we go.

[TheLt2323]

@SupermansWheelchair1 true that dude lol

[MahavishnuOrchestra1]

i didnt kno jay leno played 0:08. LOL !!!!! i love dennis!!!!1

[justindrumify]

dennis is killer. one of the best drummers ever.

[dakotablack2003]

Hes always been a big dude, but comfortable in his playing. Now hes way too fat. No hating on him, like to see him play for along time, heart disease is Americas #1 killer.

[THEFARSEER2]

def one of my favorite solos by him!

[eric1love]

aye ya yaya

[gianni617]

exellent drummer

[sagnefusciule]

bah

[progdrummer160]

2:11 what a footwork? :O

[takahashikennazo]

デニチェンはもう神か！

[stickwithganja]

fuck u he s a fucking monster designed to destroy...

[humphreybcdrumming]

Man can play drums alright!

[forseoizangi]

yes ffcurse he's very good.....but he paly always the same things,the same fills

[1darkness2]

check out the fill at 0:50!!! AMAZING!!

[caniportnoy]

Aguante cani!

[themaliced]

You'd be hard pressed to find anybody that could do what dennnis chambers does behind a kit... Don't even joke. Jazz drumming is some of the most technically and musically challenging things that you could do.

[manicospic]

When i said "i dont know how to appreciate anything besides metal. " i meant, "and dont know how to ..."

[DemilichFan]

yeah, i got that. i dunno, i've found metalheads to be quite open-minded, actually. of course, there's the killswitch engage crowd, but that's not really metal. anyone that listens to great, virtuosic bands like atheist, gorguts, demilich, fleshcrawl, etc. has to have good taste, b/c these are great bands. metal's just neoclassical music. metalheads that understand this usually listen to good music across the boards.

[sjproductions100]

@DemilichFan it depends on wether or not ur talking to a metal head that actually understands music. the ones that are excellent musicians themselves will appreciate good music but the others won't

[manicospic]

antibulletdodger, i believe you must be a metal fan right? Normally only metalheads are so close minded.

[mryellow123]

Checkout Meshuggah...... Metal ain't no crap.

[manicospic]

As a matter of fact Meshuggah is my favourite band!! Since i heard chaosphere in 98 my life as drummer as changed, no shit!! I only said what i said because in general metalheads are very close minded i dont know how to appreciate anything besides metal.

[mryellow123]

Ain't they just pure awesomeness to any old metal or fusion head!

It is true tho, there is the "Slayer bumper sticker" crowd who really don't get it.

[antibulletdodger101]

Where can I find even more gay music than this? any help appreciated.

[KalashnikoV247]

Your iTunes library, most likely.

[antibulletdodger101]

thanks, I´ll check it out!

[nickygurf77]

hahaha burnage

[SpencerEGump]

dude go fuck urself... why the hell would u listen to this if u are going to make a retarded comment like that! Dennis Chambers is a god and should get the respect he deserves!

So if you have any common sense at all, you will take ur shitty taste and jump off a bridge!

[antibulletdodger101]

ok. goodbye sweet life.

[drumerball]

dennis chambers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ROCHELDION]

The point is the band is letting Buddy rich mentees have a little light. And dennis is the best over all drummer period no drummer that i can think of can put on a show like he can no drummer is faster and no drummer can groove like he can. So shut up the nonsense

[willwoodward99]

dennis "one dynamic" chambers

[drummerdw02]

man...i can't understand why you give that less point...I love dennis chambers too but this band was from Buddy Rich...that's why there are the BD letters in the blank spaces...mmm...really you must hear much more music...good luck (oh oh) I forgot...buddy rich is RIP...and He's is the father...dennis chambers is one of his students...poor your mind...really sorry

[willwoodward99]

wtf are you wittering on about you retard

[winnerbaby44]

lol.. he didnt get your comment.. but i did and dennis has more dynamics then most people these days

dont know what youre talking about

[ananddrummerforlife]

who the fuck just said travis barker is better than dennis chambers. that guy is fucked up in the head

[spiderexile]

I love Dennis's sound and I know he is a great player, but I hate his solo style.

[neri65]

why?.. he is AMAZING!

[Demetriwalker]

Lol that snare has three throwoffs.

[shadegrownpicker]

atleast hes not trying to be a poser and play like Buddy

[AsG1989]

travis barker are you kidding? you must not be a drummer. I bet your some high school kid into stick tricks so your praise travis barker, ill tell you right now barker could play one measure (assuming you know what that is) of this song.

[persini]

HOLY SHIT

[Olav86]

Solo doesnt fit the BR band style.

[forzaitalia5910]

i wuldnt disagree with that but that was still insane man

[algenispm007]

travis barker is the best drumer in the world

[MidnightRequiem7]

What???, you are a little child

[mrpickles1]

your kidding right... travis couldnt play a single note out of this song

[ZiljianK]

shut up dude this guys kills travis in every aspect of drumming. Saying travis is better is insulting

[lydianflatseven]

@ZiljianK travis barker would agree that dennis is FAR better. If he doesn't, he doesn't deserve to live.

[tandersn9]

Are you on drugs?

[Tama3166]

I like Dexter over Brecker...I mean Arturo over Wynton...and Evans over Chick...uh, I mean Billie over Ella...and, uh...Rickman over Weckl...and Italian food over Mexican...and St Lucia over the Mayan Riviera...and hamburgers over hot dogs...and Mountain Dew is better than Mello Yello...and Alison Krausss music over Earl Scruggs, um, downhill over cross-country...and DW is better than Pearl...and on...and on...and on...and on...and on...and on...Give it up. They're ALL great...just enjoy!!!!!

[ToroQ3000]

Well said!!!

[raanenbozzio]

dw is better than pearl...

[xhilikus]

Masterworks > Collectors Series

[raanenbozzio]

are you kidding me? that stuff is firewood. but whatever, suit yourself

[xhilikus]

Masterworks is more customizable, and is much higher quality. DW is on par with the Masters level kits.. Masterworks blows them away.

[drummerdw02]

wait wait wait...I can understand that you love Drum Workshop work but just that they have a kind of technology that other drums do not use at all...so if you really do not take a good reason to say that words...you really don'¡t know about drums...lol

[racistoreo]

Awesome post lol, much truth

[Groovemaster2k]

@Tama3166 Ketchup or mustard? j/k :P

[TheColbles2009]

@Tama3166 amen on the mountain dew thing..

[juanbarros88]

This guy has great technique, but VInnie has the greatest technique....wait, Buddy Rich had the best technique...Im talking about Technique, just technique. I still prefer Vinnie over the other two.

[drummerdw02]

ha ha ha...are you kidding...buddy rich is the god in compare to vinnie or dennis chambers...ammm...you must listen much more music...good luck

[willwoodward99]

cunt

[jenjis556]

perfect groove and solo!!

[bonzo1989]

he just needs to stop haha fuckkkk

[gideonsarmystep]

Man his set is tunned PERFECTLY.

[daviddmo]

gotta love those ghost notes damn!

[bennyboy273yeah]

hes a POWER MACHINE!

[matiasdrums]

K MODELS IS FROM ZYJAIN

[2bot3]

i thought it was zildjian, whatever lol

[matiasdrums]

yeah they are from ziljian i just miss some words that all. lol

[jonread12]

the first 40 seconds is abit like the bit at the start of the simpsons, ha

[soduno]

Haha - your right, it's funny :D

[elguapo91]

Anyone know what K model his ride is? Im guessing K custom dark ride...?

[lalleflab]

Looks pretty much like a regular 22" k custom ride

[mu51cman3]

BEEEAAAAAAST!!!!!!!!!!!

[Toshfunk]

those strokes he does on the ride :O

how? so easy for him

gotta work that into my playing

[itsall1189]

sorry, that was a search typed badly into the wrong text box

[itsall1189]

vinnie coliatu

[drumhead62]

He makes joey jordison look like a kid beating on pots an pans.

[TheBoondockSaints]

how dare you even compare that limp wristed faggot to someone so legendary and amazing?

[Jaythedrummerman]

@drumhead62 joey is a kid beating on pots and pans haha

[Symmetry44]

I wish I sucked that bad. Man is he freaking amazing!!!!

[winnerbaby44]

that snare kills me *-*

[jmr2master]

Those toms are like...amazing, and the stuff he can play on them sounds so cool!!!

[jmr2master]

I wounder if he took this gig seriously. DC is a great drummer and this solo was crazy. But I don't think he really care to much, just from the fact that he showed up in a T-shit and pants.

[KommieKillah]

He also has no musical education.

[Moog167]

If you have an amazing ear and feel like Dennis...well you really don't need it....but there are some drummers that have that quality but they also have the education look at Vinnie Coliuta(Sorry for the mispelling)

[mbdrummusic]

If you are dennis chambers you can do every thing you want to do :p

[winnerbaby44]

and shewing gum :P ^^

[Drumming2thelord]

jmr have you seen vids of Steve Gadd? In this one gig in Japan he's rocking a popeye shirt with no sleeves displaying popeye in a muscle-flexing/fist pumping position with the word "POW!" behind him.

Very classy indeed LOL

[jmr2master]

I'm gonna go check that out!!!!

[Drumming2thelord]

here it is!

watch?v=IbsUQSpho_0

=]

[jmr2master]

HAHA thanks for the link!!

[matthewlesco]

playing with the buddy rich big band is an opportunity to rip down the sickest solo possible. This solo is ridiculously nasty. Phil Collins was a total goon when he played with them.

[JCBobe]

Buddy Rich for ever.

[MeGaMaGgOtT]

Okay rushburn I guarantee you there are people that can play faster single stroke rolls than Dennis Chambers. Mike Mangini has the world record for the fastest single stroke beats in one minute, so I know he can go faster. Am I saying Dennis Chambers is a bad drummer? Absolutely not, Dennis Chambers is one of my favorite drummers.

[defiense]

his style or not i bet none of you could do this

[rushbum]

no one plays single stroke rolls faster than dennis

[naedsukram]

yeah, he's an amazing drummer, possibly not his 'bag' but he seemed to adapt. Not your usual jazz drum improv. Gald I wasn't sittin there trying to count it, he always has a knack of shreddin the groove beyond recognition, clever!

[smoukondeuoter]

Well...I don't like dennis chamber so much...I prefere peter erskine playing this bebop stuff

[ZildjianDrummer244]

Well this also is not dennis' style either... Dennis is more of a world/rock guy!

[smoukondeuoter]

Well usually dennis plays a lot of jazzfusion(mike stern), but I still don't like his playing too much,I think he uses too often singles and that he doesn't make rythmic variation during his solos. Btw in this song his bebop is preatty good, just the solos...

[ZildjianDrummer244]

Well... everyone has their own taste, you have yours I have mine either way he's still an amazing drummer as well Peter.

[smoukondeuoter]

For example in Mike Stern's album "Is What It Is", He plays with a perfect balance of taste and technique...awsome.

[ZildjianDrummer244]

Dennis Chambers rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[phatphace]

the solo was awesome, but it definitely wasn't be-bop... it was Dennis Chambers

[theelitemusician]

I feel u Zeus....this guy is on a level others just can't reach. INSANE!

[Zeus1700]

I love this guy, no one else seems to be able to touch him! :D

[gtheduke]

...Virgil Donati?
