Dennis is a virtuoso drummer, but so is Terry Bozzio!!! Let's face it you don't play with Frank Zappa if your a musical slouch. Check Terry out playing Black Napkins with Zappa, it will blow your mind!!! Terry is a classically trained percussionist with chops galore. Ostinato anyone?
I've seen Dennis play live several times over the years and this is the first time I've seen him not quite sure what to do, haha. So many things to hit!
I was just thinking that! It's like being a master of every tool you have in your shop, but then you go to some legendary hardware store that's been manned by the same employee for decades and you have no clue where anything is or where to begin, lol. I'm sure Dennis would have some unique interpretations and do some amazing things with a kit like this if he spent enough time with it!
This is so cool to see Dennis Chambers "sneaking" a sit-down at Terry's kit! I love this. And Dennis is one mean technical groove monster, one of the baddest cats around.
This was great! His face when he was working out what all the pedals do 🤣, id be the same. You could make an entire series based on drummers playing other drummers kits, id watch that! 😆
If Jack Arnold was still alive, he could make a movie about a „ mad drummer“ whose kit grows under nuclear influence , leaves the subterranean lab and threatens to destroy a major city. The national guard can not stop it , the cymbals that big reflect air to ground missiles that turn against the airforce planes. The POTUS calls Terry Bozzio for help. Then Terry would show up, carry away a cute young female drum lab assistant that twisted her ankle while running away. He is the only one that can stop the monster with the help of….. a standard tuning key by removing the reso head of the largest kick drum. ( my copyright protected)
That could be a cool series... Various top drummers sitting down and jamming on Terry's set... Danny Carey, Stewart Copeland, Vinnie Colaiuta, Thomas Lang, etc. I'd love to see what they'd do with that beast kit.
Anyone else picturing Terry Bozzio going full John C. Reilly, sticking his head around the door and shouting ‘If you touch my drum set, I will kill y… OOOH, hey Dennis.’? I feel like playing Terry’s kit is like driving an F1 car: it all looks vaguely familiar, but you’ve no idea how to operate it.
My man Dennis looked like a kid on Christmas when he sat down. Pure joy. Good to see him looking good. Shout out from Detroit. You know how we do it. Blessings...
I was in a band that opened up for Jeff Beck w/ Bozzio and during his show I got to sit about 10 feet behind Bozzio while he played. Quite the education!!!!
I remember seeing Jeff Beck with Terry Bozzio playing drums my first impression of his drum solo was this guy is a complete animal 😂 What a phenomenal show that was
This is hilarious! Dennis is THE man!; loved his stuff for decades. But even he is blown away with this kit! And that's what makes it fun....a MASTER of his craft, still impressed with another master's tools. Rumor has it that Terry's drum tech has to start two weeks in advance just to set up his kit.
Its always a real good time just to see him play and share good vibes all over the world. I Still remember his presentation in jazz en el rio in Santiago de Chile with Mike Stern was a great show ,thanks for sharing your gifts extremely talented human !!!
You just lived all of our dreams! To be able to sit behind that kit and just play with all of those foot pedals has been a dream of mine for years! Thank you for sharing this!!!
I've seen a lot of videos of people attempting to play Terry's kit...this is the first one where someone SUCCESSFULLY played like Terry. It's almost as if the kit has a life of its own and demands a style out of the artist. Bravo Dennis!
Saw Terry give a clinic in Boston probably 1996 he wasnt at this extent yet but was pretty close. Ive never seen anything like it since, he used the entire kit. Nice seeing another LEGEND take a shot at it!
I've often imagined havin' a go behind this incredible kit. This vid fed that curiosity quite nicely! In fact, it would be an awesome series to see a string of talented drummers from diverse backgrounds sit on that throne and hash out some rhythmic excellence! Just a thought..
We need a Dennis and Terry vid. Life is too short to not see what mayhem comes from that. Both legends, both idols and inspiration for decades to come.
Just because it feels good, doesn't mean that the Pearl pedals are any less. I used to play Ludwig pedals (for authenticity's sake) then DW pedals; now I'm on Pearl pedals on a Ludwig kit.
For those that have never seen Dennis cut loose on his own drums...He is absolutely amazing! In fact he is actually one of my top 5 drummers living today... (note key word "living"). I put him up there with (in any order of living drummers you prefer) Dave Weckl, Billy Cobham, Vinnie Colaiuta, Marco Minnemann and Dennis Chambers. To each their own of course, but let me reiterate LIVING...Don't want to hear about Buddy Rich, Neil Peart, John Bonham, Keith Moon, etc....
Here's just a taste of what he can do...Great speed and smooth like butter...From around 2:40 point of the video on... ruclips.net/video/7eadRGsXjM0/видео.html
The best part of this video for me: A healthy-looking, smiling Dennis Chambers.
This was a few years back
DC looks amazing .
Me too 👍🏾
Amen...We almost lost him
I just came here to see that! oMG he have had so many heatl struggle... Nice to see him fatty LOL
Should we bring Dennis to the studio again and shoot a proper video of him on Terry's kit? 🤔
Yes!
Yeaasss please!
UmletmethinkYES!!!
Yes!
Do you even have to ask it...??? 😂😂😂😂
Dennis Chambers is a national fucking treasure. God bless that man.
Dennis is a virtuoso drummer, but so is Terry Bozzio!!! Let's face it you don't play with Frank Zappa if your a musical slouch. Check Terry out playing Black Napkins with Zappa, it will blow your mind!!! Terry is a classically trained percussionist with chops galore. Ostinato anyone?
Even a professional drummer sits at Bozzio's kit, steps on a pedal, and goes, "where the hell is that?!!". Classic.
including terry bozzio. although, his reaction is more like ... "where the hell am i ?"
he's like, can I get a normal hihat at all around here
2:11 I can't even see that 😂
Getting lost in translation. 😆
LOL.
That sounded like a Saturday afternoon in the Guitar Center drum shop.
That IS the guitar center drum shop.
I’ll see myself out.
Only one person on this planet can play that kit the way it's meant to be lol. We'd all sound like that but man it'd be cool to play it.
Man, would love to play Terry's replica kit at Guitar Center.
That if Guitar Center dudes are willing to replicate his kit anyway 😁.
Brick and mortar music stores are getting rarer and rarer.
Ooooooooooohhhh my God no kidding.
I've seen Dennis play live several times over the years and this is the first time I've seen him not quite sure what to do, haha. So many things to hit!

@@StephenChapman Yes I agree!
I want to see Terry's reaction
We should do a reaction video with Terry! We'll ask him!
@@drumchannel please do! It'd be awesome 😍
@@drumchannel We see Terry Bozzio play Dennis Chambers kit next?
@@johncollins5552 He'd hit a big hole in the air after 2 seconds and ask "Is there no drum here?"
@@chessbrainiac h@aaaaaaaaahahaha this one killed me
I feel like Dennis gave the most candid/relatable series of reactions one could have/that we’ve seen yet! Love this!
How about a whole series where different drummers sit down at Bozzio's kit and try to figure out what the heck to do with it all? Would be a classic!
Or Bozzio sits at other hot drummers’ drum kits and does what HE does on Them.
@@rosemyers2165 even better!
@@rosemyers2165Terry is incredible but he isn’t the most interesting to listen to, that might not go over as well as you think 😅
This is so cool to see Dennis Chambers "sneaking" a sit-down at Terry's kit! I love this. And Dennis is one mean technical groove monster, one of the baddest cats around.
Whoever put that kit together deserves a raise!!!
This was great! His face when he was working out what all the pedals do 🤣, id be the same. You could make an entire series based on drummers playing other drummers kits, id watch that! 😆
Ha!!! Excellent idea man!
Yep, that would be excellent.
that's a great idea!!!
Nice to see that video of Dennis. He’s the man.
1:36 “Terry you are out of your mind” made my day.
That kits looks like something straight out of a Dr. Seuss book.
terry bozzio is straight out of dr. seuss' aneuss.
More like metallic version of Jenga & Bristle Blocks!
John Beckwith. Hilarious comparison. Now what to call that Dr. Seuss contraption. A "bang-tangler," perhaps. LOL!
This is the best description I've ever seen regarding Bozzio's kit!
If Jack Arnold was still alive, he could make a movie about a „ mad drummer“ whose kit grows under nuclear influence , leaves the subterranean lab and threatens to destroy a major city. The national guard can not stop it , the cymbals that big reflect air to ground missiles that turn against the airforce planes. The POTUS calls Terry Bozzio for help.

He is the only one that can stop the monster with the help of….. a standard tuning key by removing the reso head of the largest kick drum. ( my copyright protected)
This is funny. I remember Bozzio saying back in the ‘80s that using the high-hat was outdated. Boy, did he take that to heart!
The hihat AND the ride cymbal! lol A radical thinker.
He's still learning and enjoying it. This for me is the essence of life and how everyone should try and live. Great video.
That could be a cool series... Various top drummers sitting down and jamming on Terry's set... Danny Carey, Stewart Copeland, Vinnie Colaiuta, Thomas Lang, etc. I'd love to see what they'd do with that beast kit.
We've finally found a kit with too many cymbals for Mike Portnoy
It's all about having fun. Always liked how ingenious Terry has always been.
Wow! Denis is looking like himself again. Great to see him back healthy.
Anyone else picturing Terry Bozzio going full John C. Reilly, sticking his head around the door and shouting ‘If you touch my drum set, I will kill y… OOOH, hey Dennis.’? I feel like playing Terry’s kit is like driving an F1 car: it all looks vaguely familiar, but you’ve no idea how to operate it.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Dennis. He is a phenomenal player and was awesome to talk to. Thanks for sharing.
My man Dennis looked like a kid on Christmas when he sat down. Pure joy. Good to see him looking good. Shout out from Detroit. You know how we do it. Blessings...
Positively giddy
Dennis is a gift from above. Love that man for life
A smiling Dennis Chambers - love it! A Billy Higgins of the 2020s! Carry on Dennis - long may you play!
Man I love Dennis Chambers!!!! The dude is not only the nicest guy but a phenomenal drummer. My all time favorite drummer right there!!!!!
Fantastic to see Dennis looking so well!
Dennis is the best. So good to see him smiling and healthy!
I was in a band that opened up for Jeff Beck w/ Bozzio and during his show I got to sit about 10 feet behind Bozzio while he played. Quite the education!!!!
I remember seeing Jeff Beck with Terry Bozzio playing drums my first impression of his drum solo was this guy is a complete animal 😂

"Terry, you outta your mind....." -DC
One my favorite drummers ever.
This is hilarious! Dennis is THE man!; loved his stuff for decades. But even he is blown away with this kit! And that's what makes it fun....a MASTER of his craft, still
impressed with another master's tools. Rumor has it that Terry's drum tech has to start two weeks in advance just to set up his kit.
This put the biggest smile on my face!
Good to see. Dennis is looking a lot better.
Brilliant!! I love the way he looks so bloody confused!!!
Its always a real good time just to see him play and share good vibes all over the world. I Still remember his presentation in jazz en el rio in Santiago de Chile with Mike Stern was a great show ,thanks for sharing your gifts extremely talented human !!!
I thought for sure it was gonna end with a quick edit to Terry looking all “mad”. Would’ve been hilarious 😆
Amazing set😲😲
The great Dennis Chambers exploring a drumset like a little child for the first time.
This video gave me great joy. It's almost as if I was there exploring the kit
The whole time I watched this I wore a big smile.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That was pure joy! When one genius gets blown away by another genius! I love it!!
This is fantastic!! I love this so much. The look on Dennis' face at 1:36 is priceless!!!
This is a very cool clip. Very rarely do you a master use the signature tools of another master, especially from different musical backgrounds.
That was very entertaining.....I've been a fan of both of them for years.
Imagine being bad in life and your punishment being reincarnating as Terry Bozzio's drum tech
Haha!
Haha even worse...being his drum tech, but not allowed to use any memory locks
or yoyokas snare
How about the monitor guy ( "Can I get more tom 12 in the mix?")
🤣🤣🤣🤣
His last word was priceless!!😆
1:37 “terry. ... I mean why?” My thoughts exactly
Sounds like he said "Terry, you outta your mind"
Why not?
Just love watching ..Dennis Chambers play anything on the drums ..Mr .Chambers is the ..GOAT..glad hes looking real great ..✌
Wait until Terry tells Dennis he was playing on his compact kit.
Probably one of my favorite videos on RUclips.. a legendary drummer behind Terrys kit going "wtf was that", "wtf is this"
"too many options" can make the most focused appear to be a deer in headlights.
This was very fun on another level.
The most amount of emotion i have seen on Dennis Chamber’s face 😂
You just lived all of our dreams! To be able to sit behind that kit and just play with all of those foot pedals has been a dream of mine for years! Thank you for sharing this!!!
I've seen a lot of videos of people attempting to play Terry's kit...this is the first one where someone SUCCESSFULLY played like Terry. It's almost as if the kit has a life of its own and demands a style out of the artist. Bravo Dennis!
This was awesome. Love DC.
So beautiful! Thanks for posting!
Incredibly cool! Thank you for this!

Amazing video, thank you for sharing!
How amazing that Dennis gets on and is amazed and flounders just like any...or most humans would. Kinda reassuring!
This made my morning! One of the reasons I play drums is that man right there 💪🏾👑💪🏾
That was so fun to watch!
Loive seeing a legend like Dennis goiung What the F is this crazy contraption!? Insanity !
God bless you Mr.Dennis Chambers! 🙏
I've often imagined havin' a go behind this incredible kit. This vid fed that curiosity quite nicely! In fact, it would be an awesome series to see a string of talented drummers from diverse backgrounds sit on that throne and hash out some rhythmic excellence! Just a thought..
I get the feeling he wants to play a funk groove, but doesn't know which pedals to use.
We need a Dennis and Terry vid. Life is too short to not see what mayhem comes from that. Both legends, both idols and inspiration for decades to come.
That was awesome!
It's literally like the entire concert percussion ensemble in one setup. That's pretty rad.
I was thinking, "That's not a drum kit, that's a world kit." 😂
Very kool! I love seeing drummers trying other kits. Especially this one. I believe I heard Neil Peart say he played it, before one of the drum chats.
Of course now we need to see the "Terry Bozzio playing on Dennis Chambers" kit" video.
nice player, I am learning from all these great players.
This guy is jamming on enough tin to cover the four year cost of my daughter's college tuition
The guys at Pearl got scared when Dennis said he liked Bozzio’s DW pedal. 😂
Maybe he’ll give Pearl his two weeks notice! Lol I could see auch a beautiful/regal kit built for Dennis by DW!
Dennis used DW pedals for a long time.
Just because it feels good, doesn't mean that the Pearl pedals are any less. I used to play Ludwig pedals (for authenticity's sake) then DW pedals; now I'm on Pearl pedals on a Ludwig kit.
One of the greatest ever
Dennis deserves this kit.
Cheers drum tech, you're THE man.
It looked like a ham sandwich on that hi-hat bell thing.
🤣🤣🤣
I thought the cheese goes under the bun, not on top of it
I went to see Terry's clinic at my university in Baltimore back in early 2000s, and Dennis was one of the guests.
Ohhhh Wooow this Is Amazing!!! Amazing Dennis!!! 💪👏👏 Super Master!! 👍😀
Waw.. crazy set up Terry boziooo..🔥..
What's kind of amazing is that no two things on that kit sound alike!
If you are who I think you are, looking forward to seeing "the center of the universe" with DC next week!! Been waiting a Looooong Time!
Art has many forms of expression.
Perhaps this is one of them ..
Wow, the groove on that outro 👏 😍
1:35 "Terry, your out of your mind" 🤣🤣🤣
The crossover we didn't even know we didn't deserve (but needed)
That was awesome! A healthy Dennis Chambers!
TB'S tech: "So what do you want set up ?"
TB : "Yes."
Can you imagine Dennis Chamber's on tour with Santana playing this kit? Oh, man!
Oh, I'm sure the road manager and drum techs would love that. 🙄 😆
@@WorthlessDeadEnd LoL! Ha ha. True words.
How many Bozzio roadies have had nervous breakdowns? I saw Bozzio perform solo on this kit. Pretty mind boggling.
Oh man that was hysterical!
Es una locura...zapatero a tus zapatos!!! Abrazo enorme desde Argentina!!!

This is great!! Dennis is such an influence 😎
Just like a child the first time they sit on a "normal" drum set
Two dislikes on this video...didn’t know it was possible to dislike a video twice, @Terry ?
;-)
Lololol.love it!!!! Mr Chambers if you're ever on long island (nassau county) I'd be delighted to have you over to play my kit!!!
The multiple smirks on his face from devious to being a kid with a new toy is funny.
Dennis, you look great bro!! Much love to ya!!
