I remember when this album came out, I was at Berklee college and all the drummers there FLIPPED OUT and learned this tune (and the whole record). Everyone was playing this on their recitals. Good times!
I met Dennis many years ago by happenstance at Jack’s Drum Shop in Boston. It was a slow Tuesday morning so we were able to spend quite a while talking about many subjects. It is still surprising to me how impactful that encounter was on my playing and career. 30+ years later, I still cherish that meeting with a master.
Sco's Pick Hits Live had some of the heaviest, tightest, funkiest DC playing ever. Don't sleep on this legendary performance. And it's fantastic to see DC back in top form!
I think that back then, Mr Chambers was inspired by The Man who created this groove, and The Man was: Chuck Brown with the "Go-Go" check Him out. Love anyways Mr Chambers playing He is Awesome! Carus Alambra 😉👍
That was awesome trick footwork WOW! Blown away at what he has going on here. The man had at least two separate beats going at the same time. The counting in his head is masterful!
Thats a great a lesson! Fastest drummer play the simplest way possible. Drummer have a specific role in the band. Listen to Dennise’s great speech he made on youtube few years ago about todays music. Thats great Mr. Chambers. Thank you!
I love the way he shrugs his shoulders and says: "That's Blue Matter!" as if it's no biggy - which for him, it's not! Bruilliant! Such a grooove, such a sence of the music, not going over it, but playing WITH it.
This may be my most favorite drum groove, ever. My vhs of In The Pocket is worn out in this spot 😂, straight up blew my mind as a kid. Such foot control and power. I still hope to play it as well as Dennis someday.
Dennis, I love you style! I have learned the fatback, working on the polish. I love this groove, I am going to learn it too. And I love that kit! Are those Pearl Masters custom? I just bought the Pearl STS very similar to your setup, 7 piece 3 up 2 down and my 3 sided Icon curved rack is on its way. I cannot wait!
Dennis Chamber in the house. I am curious if there is a snare bottom mic. Simon Phillips said he doesn’t like them usually because it takes away dynamic range. Sometimes ghost notes are pretty hot with that bottom snare mic.
I remember the first time I saw In the pocket smh I stop playing drums after cause I realise I wasn’t playing this man is the greatest of grovers you will ever come across
Amazing single foot speed and 4th on hi hat, big sound and feel, wanna try it 👍also see that volume does not matter in the main parts, just Touch the cymbals... Great man, Greetings from Germany 😉😎
😱 i always thought that the drummers are just athlets that hit some Drums with sticks....🙈. This man is a genuis. There MUST be something he REALLY is bad at in life.

It was 1988 and I was 23 years old, when I saw Dennis playing with John at the Leverkusener Jazztage. I will never forget this concert.
Dennis was my father’s favorite drummer. He always highlighted Dennis superior sense of groove. Dad, guess you were right!
Dad's always seem to know...
Great father!!!

Still have my Dennis Chambers autographed Blue Matter CD sleeve dated 9/21/93! Thank you Dennis!
Awesome!
Thats very cool!

the Best of the Best ... Mighty, Fantastic Dennis
This is a fantastic piece of music - and very cool drumming by Dennis Chambers.
He's looking so much better here. We need to protect this living legend by any and all means! 🐐
Dennis has sooooo much groove. His offbeats are insane!
This is phenomenal. I’ve loved this tune since the 80s. I’m a guitar player but was always drawn to this drum part. So cool to see it this way.
The focus of Dennis when he play is incredible. I wish i can be at this level of focusing
Glad to see Dennis looking better and still tearing it up!
damn, from time to time I listen to this tune, great memories
Sco's Pick Hits Live had some of the heaviest, tightest, funkiest DC playing ever. Don't sleep on this legendary performance. And it's fantastic to see DC back in top form!
With torn jeans!!...
Now I will accept my favorite drummer as DC's own but I'm almost sure he is from Baltimore
@@redlightdistrict8038DC as in “Dennis Chambers”:)

I love Dennis. When I first learned how to play I only studied Dennis
I really love the flow of the beats.
Such a legend!!
Absolute outstanding playing as usual, above all : it’s good to see the GOAT in such great physical condition. 🥂🍾
Such a treat to see him healthy again.
I think that back then, Mr Chambers was inspired by The Man who created this groove, and The Man was: Chuck Brown with the "Go-Go" check Him out.
Love anyways Mr Chambers playing He is Awesome!
Carus Alambra 😉👍
Goodness!! I can hear every hit clearly!!! Awesome!!
Wow, i listening so much times this album! Stil one of my favorite! All the best Dennis!
Grew up on this album and Still Warm. Thank you for the musical roots.
That was awesome trick footwork WOW! Blown away at what he has going on here. The man had at least two separate beats going at the same time. The counting in his head is masterful!
If you know a young drummer, please show them this master at work. Magnificent DC at his damn funkiest.
Dennis showing where the cool starts.
Love the snare hits at 0:10 and 06:40.
That's something I would tap to a beat when I'm going about my day, like a drummer's tic or something.
We drummers don’t set or create the time - we simply stay with it.
Love this.
Actually as a drummer I always felt the time (real unacknowledged) keeper was the bassist...
GOAT playing another GOATs music
Worked for a sound co. Played drums for 30yrs. So we ended up doing sound for a Mike Stern gig, with Chambers on drums. He's other worldly. Genius.
The best in the business, one of the funkiest grooves!
🔥🔥
So beautiful!!
Who makes records like THIS anymore, in 2022? NOBODY!
Thats a great a lesson! Fastest drummer play the simplest way possible. Drummer have a specific role in the band. Listen to Dennise’s great speech he made on youtube few years ago about todays music. Thats great Mr. Chambers. Thank you!
Cheers, Patryk!
The Best 🇧🇷
O melhor 🇧🇷
Lo mejor 🇧🇷
Omg!! that was beautiful! ❤
I didn't knew about Denis but I clicked on the video. Absolutely amazed
Mesmerized! 🔥 Pure GOAT!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Epic bass
So funky
Gary Grainger. Soooooo underrated
I think we have world's most groovy man in our presence
Una delicia escuchar al maestro Dennis Chambers tocando esta canción.
Great job Dennis, thanx.
Cheers, Kevin!
Seeing several of his clinics @Explorers Percussion as a young teen in the early 90's definitely altered my musical trajectory
Good timing on this release; I watched Rick Beato's interview with John Scofield before I watched this. Chambers is a beast!
Fantastic!
Wow, a dream come true to see a modern drum playthrough of this classic song. Those kick triplets are tough though..... time to go practice!
I love the way he shrugs his shoulders and says: "That's Blue Matter!" as if it's no biggy - which for him, it's not! Bruilliant! Such a grooove, such a sence of the music, not going over it, but playing WITH it.
Classic Dennis. SO good!
Ion like anything about Baltimore but this man
Classy!!!
So glad to see him healthy again…
I just watched a video from 2020 and he looked super ill. Did he have cancer or something?
Master Supreme 🤴🏿🥁💥
0:33 .... dear Lord ... the triplets .... dang.
El Rey del Groove!. Dennis es una gran Inspiración. Saludos desde Argentina. Excelente el canal de Drummeo
Dennis Chambers sendo ele sempre 👏👏👏 pode ter bateristas parecidos mas igual impossível
Second to none.
Dennis is a monster!! Please ask him to teach Otay intro! what a groove
KING OF POCKET!!!
This may be my most favorite drum groove, ever. My vhs of In The Pocket is worn out in this spot 😂, straight up blew my mind as a kid. Such foot control and power. I still hope to play it as well as Dennis someday.
Amazing groove, no doubt!
It doesn't get cooler than this.
Dennis rules… 👊
The Universe!!
I encourage you all to seek out some live videos of this tune, unbelievable pocket and dynamics

Is it weird that when Dennis starts breaking it down, I start thinking i have tabs still open? Lol
He's so crisp.
Now I need to go watch "Jherri Curl" Dennis play Blue Matter on In the Pocket, possibly my favorite recorded version of that song. IYKYK
I totally love the tone of a whole drumset!
Can you tell me the model of the hihat and crashes?
He uses two bottom cymbals as a hi hat.
Yep two 13" hh bottoms. Makes a heavier pair for a crispy sound.
@@brittonshupe clearly zildjian...
Blessed ❤️🙏🏻
I do like a good foot on the snare groove.
I got the blue matter tape.
THE Drummer's Drummer.
Quarter-note era Dennis ... we're not worthy
Those ghost notes...🤤
Soo clean!
Is this a thing to hit the cymbal from the bottom like he does at 0:47? I had never seen anyone do it on purpose before
Dennis chambers actually does that a lot, check his old footage with John Scofield
Buddy used to that a lot so as Weckl lately.
Dennis is sublime. Now if you could only bring Vinnie to drumeo. That would be so awesome it can't even be quantified.
Ahahaha, good one, but, IMPOSSIBLE !!!
Well, you never know, but it's simply impossible. :-)
@@RogerBiwandu Vinnie wouldn't accept, right?
I remember the first time I saw In the pocket smh I stop playing drums after cause I realise I wasn’t playing this man is the greatest of grovers you will ever come across
The groove master!
the composureee
God damn 🙏🔥
them ghost notes sounds scary lol a haunted tune
the most epic
Amazing single foot speed and 4th on hi hat, big sound and feel, wanna try it 👍also see that volume does not matter in the main parts, just Touch the cymbals... Great man, Greetings from Germany 😉😎
Cheers from Canada!
It took me being super fucking stoned to realise that real music is an actual language.
I remember getting the 'in the pocket' and 'serious moves' vhs. Good Times. When was this filmed. How is dennis' health? Looking well
Dennis was in our studio in February and he looked and seemed healthier than ever!
Please guys just upload the video with simon phillips
As Miles would say "nice touch."
Lordy, Lordy! I think the whole Internet has stank face after this post was released into the ether.
Only if we had this kind of media back in the day!...
Does anyone know what microphone Drumeo use for the crash/cymbal?
what hats is he playing?
😱 i always thought that the drummers are just athlets that hit some Drums with sticks....🙈. This man is a genuis. There MUST be something he REALLY is bad at in life.
I could be wrong, but I think he totally sucks at field hockey.
🤤🤤🤤
Dennis plays a double now??!
... that should probably be illegal. He could burn his drums if he's not careful! :(
I can hear a Ken Smith in there... nice
Must be cool to be Dennis Chambers bass drum.
Nah!! Too much punishment!
We poor bass drums need a break every once in a while... *:-)*
Hey Fernando,dein Vater hatte ein gutes Gefühl, Dennis Chambers groovt wie kein anderer.
Master %)
Dude you’d think he was using a double bass pedal
For me he sounds like machine. No músic. In Other hand i love Jeff porcaro
What is it suppose to sound like lmao!
FUNKY!
easy.
Ahora que está más viejo se viste mejor 😂😂😂😂
wat the
