[niknac58]

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! ;-)

[Sonor127]

After the god,....... Chambers following!!!!!!

[funktron4]

RestDayer: Genius, the Super Bowl always starts with a coin toss too. This guy was superb with Funkadelic and is a master.

[drdave313]

@funktron4 ..Self taught also..I love his playing..

[Ronnybengt]

dennis drive allways is inspirational...thanx 4 posting!!

[emarks33]

umm 2 words... Benny Greb!!!!

[dhjn4214]

dennis chambers: MY NIGGA

[TOTALITARIO999]

LOVE THAT SNARE SOUND!!!! he was always one of my favorites...

[iSquishMoths]

AND he's self taught :|

[DOB1998]

Amazing man, amazing cymbals.. :)

[akisspyros]

Hahaha he's making fun of us :D

[lgttb1]

this man need sticks and heads made of asbestos with the speed of light moves he has. very very impressive i must say . he deserves every penny and more then he is paid to play.

[brikble]

He is simply amazing

[CHARIOTofTHEpeople]

every once in a while i try something like this..my neighbors hate me

[ifign]

I would kill to have those awesome K Zildijan!!!

[logansdrums]

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

[AStudCalledKyle]

His snare is like a gun.

[PRPLRJ]

lol

[perez9876perez]

Dennis is an influential drummer but not a god, I know that he is awesome but there are hundred of thousand drummers that have very good skills but not gods.......but he is influential to my drumming as many others.

[remodrummer99]

Why does a justin bieber drum solo even come up in the suggestions first off he sucks and he does not compare to dennis chambers at all.

[twelge15]

I get the feeling that guys who say this is a boring solo havn't seen a drummer use real dynamics before. There just use to the loud predictable rock drum solo.

[twelge15]

Dennis has the grove of death.

[R4Love365]

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!!!

[R4Love365]

Dennis Chambers is "Greatness" in action...always was...always has been and always will be!!!!!! The man man is phenomenal!!!!!!!

[Gretschdrums75]

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.

[Easleytee]

Constructive criticism should not be construed as hate.

Actually, this solo has no musical or aesthetic value.

[ebpat]

WOW! Way to go Dennis!!! One of the greatest going. Incredible.

[westcoastgoose]

.....love Dennis Chambers but, gotcha! he fucks up and hits his own stick @ 6:10 ...

[drummercraig21]

all the people w/ negative comments are probably those people that are in love with travis barker but dont even know who buddy rich is

[kdsf12]

Even Karen Carpenter -nearly dead from Bulimia- was more "musical" than this guy could dream of being.

[kdsf12]

I appreciate this recording more. I just watched a Mike Stern video and he played like a pig. One dynamic, one tone, totally unmusical. On top of that, he has no sense of melody. Percussion has no melodic contour? Uhh hunh, ok. I hear "a touch" of it, but, rarely.

[Moog168]

@kdsf12 Thats your opinion,if Dennis was"unmusical" I don't think he would be in such high demand for sessions or tours. Plus judging solos is like walking into a conversation. Especially if it's during a middle of a song.

His solos from his earlier years are very Dynamic. Look for the video of him playing at the China Club in 1990.

[kdsf12]

I appreciate this recording more. I just watched a Mike Stern video and he played like a pig. One dynamic, one tone, totally unmusical.

[MagicKidsUsa]

most amazing use of dynamics...

[somembom]

my guess is he's not soloing... seems to be kinda warming up, or recording test tracks for the sound engineers. if, and i mean IF chambers was really putting an effort to perform a real drum solo, it would be something out of this earth! dixit

[Dj5parks]

pure epic

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

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.....

[joeymcnew37209]

Wow! Greatness!!

[Jay902017]

Sick Playing and the Drums just sound awesome

[13Musicmachine]

AMAZING , I still can't believe I've met this guy :D

[Orkustra]

There´s no doubt, one of the best drummers ever.....

[WarriorAbs]

Dennis Chambers takes it to a another level. Along with these guys: Carter Beuford, Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Tim "Herb" Alexander, Brann Dailor, and Mike Bordin.  They are all capable of pulling off things that don't seem humanly possible. Check em' out if you haven't heard them yet.

[ilovezildjian]

Evans drum heads and Zildjian cymbals....what more could you ask for.......sounds nothing short of amazing!

[Hulker28]

NICE!!

[cymbalism1]

same crap year after year...

[AwesomeDrummerGuy]

Drum LEGEND man he's like sooo dang good. He's up there with Thomas Pridgen and that! :D

[Sprint676]

true passion....

[MrJro2]

The second part reminds me of Nardia.

[RestDayer]

im 10 gzillion miles away from this god's skills and here's the but... almost all his licks starts with the snare drum. kinda predictable and boring.

[DrummaAddict]

@RestDayer Ask urself "can i do it?" before u post remarks like that.. 

[RestDayer]

@DrummaAddict read my comment again especially the first 9 words.

[OldsXCool]

@DrummaAddict I can see where RestDayer is coming from. This solo displays the god like ability of Dennis Chambers but this solo has no groove at all. Lightning fast and loud, snail slow and soft, repeat. Just when you start tapping your feet the beat dies. I personally can't stand any musician who does that. It's antagonizing. That's right, any musician, not just drummers. This solo is highly technical and not the least bit musical. In other words boring.

[R4Love365]

@DrummaAddict Yeah...EXACTLY!!

[zactelfordmusic1]

@DrummaAddict With full respect, RestDayer did say he was "10 gzillion miles away from this god's skills"

But either way; why must any musician have equal or greater skill, before being aloud to simply voice an opinion? i'm sure there are a few greatly renown artists, much better than all of us, including you, that you probably wouldn't like everything about?

[drulius]

@RestDayer I would describe his playing as just about anything BUT predictable and boring!

[RestDayer]

@drulius sure. if you choose to ignore what i said - that almost all his licks start with the snare drum.

[triforce10155]

@RestDayer and just because of that, you can predict what he's going to play?...teach me your magical ways.

[RestDayer]

@triforce10155 yeah. he almost always starts with snare then toms. almost always.

[blight4hire]

@RestDayer i pespect your opinion. but rmber that we drummers have no end to our learning process so it is limited to what new sounds we can produce

[richcapo]

@RestDayer The speed is breathtaking, and, no, I can't do any of that, but, yeah, it is a bit unimaginative and repetitive. Fun to watch for a bit; not six minutes though. If I want to watch crazy speed, I'll watch Buddy Rich. He's much more musical and creative than Chambers. Chambers is nonetheless a legend and technical master of his instrument.

[thecaleb1000]

@richcapo yeah but dennis' drums sound a helluva lot better, and his grooves are sexy :D

[SweatingGreg]

@RestDayer why are you watching his vids???

[RestDayer]

@SweatingGreg coz i watch everything from awesome to crappy.

[meganfoxlover1]

@RestDayer the snare is pretty much the main drum, and without it, most of the licks wouldnt sound the same. its not predictable, because even though it starts on the snare, you dont know where he's gonna take it

[Gnarly669]

@RestDayer If you think that is boring, you can just stop listen to music

[AustinLuck78]

Wow!

[Tuxedo360]

Not human

[muffdiver313]

Hey, Young fanboys....This should make you want to get some tight ridiments....FUCK PORTNOY!!!!! This is where the shit is at!!!!

[job4cowboy94]

2 people are retarded

[TadRapidly]

i can do that. I just PREFER to have a dead-end job that offers no creative outlet. ;-)

[TheMASDrummer]

hes the best

[CrawfordDrummer]

Jesus 7 overheads!!!

[dwsabianguy]

@CrawfordDrummer Nine! There are two small black pencil condensers near the silver Neumanns on either side of the kit.

[sick898]

when it comes to all time, i would put Buddy Rich as 1, but Dennis is a more-than-strong 2!

[paicefreak]

@sick898 AMEN! except dennis being more than a strong two. there's buddy,.than there's everyone else......in the world

[markod2002]

Awsome

[A7XOwnsNoobs]

Super Mario?

[Dazzler73]

VERY Cobham-esque

[RhAuLoTaKu]

Holy Shit²

[jacksdrumshop]

1:45 - 2:34 .....independence

[COLOSSALcreation10]

@jacksdrumshop No shit. :( Hahaha

[fnkdrmmr]

See more of Dennis Chambers at SoulDrummers . com

[afrosensuous]

All POP radio stations should play only music from great musicians for one whole weekend...no vocals....just good ass music from people that made a lot of these ass-wipe singers famous.

[RaynerChristopher]

what drum did he use? Pearl?

[rockin982]

Actually not feeling the sound of the toms - its a personal preference, but I prefer a deeper, rounder sound. But what can I say, Dennis has always been one of my top 5 all time favorite stick men. He's influenced an entire generation of drummers.

[eqagj]

hasn't lost anything at all over the years.

[shootsbraw]

what the hell was that ?!?!?!

FUCK!

[Samsgarden]

*Waiting for Dennis Chambers hate club to enter*

[shootsbraw]

@Samsgarden lol

[DrummaAddict]

@Samsgarden Why would there be a hate club? He is 1 of d drumming gods.

[Samsgarden]

@DrummaAddict

I'm poking fun at the wannabe's who regularly mock some drummers while praising others. Chambers has regularly been the recipient of some of this mockery. Youtube is full of tribalism. Generally espoused by clueless twits whose entire concept of playing comes down to BPM or dazzling displays of chops; not that Chambers doesn't have chops but I guess to these folks, the only God's are Weckl and Donati et al or some robotic metal drummer.

[sabueso32]

@DrummaAddict , I guess because he's just... awesome. :-)

[socaldgafbro]

@DrummaAddict because have you been sleepin dude?? you sound lame as you know anyone with skill nowadays has a group of haters.

[sample21383]

@DrummaAddict hes waiting for a hate club because hes a drumming god. because for every god theres a group of nonbelievers

[ICreamsodAI]

@DrummaAddict because he's fast. haters hate it



[Simonefunkydrummer]

Just Pure Groove and Skills and Passion!

[rockitmanley]
