What gets me is with that kind of blazing fast hand speed, Dennis doesn't even use any of the traditional sticking tricks like the Moeller technique or for that matter he doesn't even hold the stick at it's fullcrum, he holds it all the way down at the butt of the stick and his speed comes from 100% pure hand development and muscle twitch strength. I mean, look at the dude, ... built like a powerlifter right? I've shaken his hand several times and I can assure you they're bear claws.
Agree with this. However, Dennis's solos with bands could improve a lot in terms of construction and building them in relation to the music. In terms of speed around the kit with accented single strike rolls, Dennis may be the fastest and most powerful drummer I've seen. Evelyn Glennie and Jeff Tain Watts also play very fast and great power too, but with less effort.
My friend for some 20 years (Dennis) is akin to the undisputed FATHER of modern / solo drumming MAX ROACH. Max's piece "DRUM CONVERSATION" was the seismic shift in drumming.
right joe this guy called dennis is the best drummer in the world,Dennis has Cv that you and i would die for.he tours records more than most and teaches at his clinics, when drummers are asked about who influneced them to take the drums sir dennis chambers name comes up all the time, his solos show how different his style is.So Joe good luck it is a criminal offence to be jealous uninformed. you tube has hours of evidence of DENNIS CHAMBERS
This one defines everything about his style that is great. I personally don’t like to watch him jam with people. THIS is DC. Raw chops at light speed. Grooving with his damn self.
the michael jackson/jordan of drumming no other drummer can match this clinic this is like his motown 25 when mike first did the moon walk to call this mn a great drummer would be a under statement his the GOD of drumming other drummers are masters and great
Dennis Chambers is a great great drummer, and a mixture of Buddy Rich and Billy Cobham. I think he is the greatest natural drummer alive today. he is a kind of new Buddy Rich just in a different style. he does impossible things on the drums in terms of speed and idears. But still there is yet only one drumgod in life and that is Buddy Rich.
thats impossible...best drummer ever is/was and will be is cobham..no doubt ..you are mistaken "drummerboy".....buddy rich? get outta here nuttball!!!!
TOO TOO BAD looks like I upset you.wow, all that silly language....now i know what upsets you ...putting gays down......dont be so scared...they dont bite.....every paragraph ,you speak against gay people are you ok or just bi-polar??
drummerchef851 and getting back to drumming.right:COBHAM,LENNY WHITE, TONY WILLIAMS, DENNIS CHAMBERS, AND OMAR HAKIM..ARE ALL BETTER OR AS GOOD AS BUDDY RICH...YOU ARE NOT A DRUMMER..YOU PLAY THE CLARINET...ALL THAT BLOWING HAS MADE YOU A LITTLE,SILLY KID!! AND IGNORANT AND YOU BASE EVERYTHING ON CONJECTURE DODO-BIRD!!
you no nothing about drumming sir....you must have the albums with narada m. walden not billy c.........cobham was the best in the 70's and 80's in all types of jazz-rock music...a close second was lenny white, then tony williams ,then dennis chambers.SURE DENNIS IS GREAT, his work with stern,carlos santana, j. scofield is amazing,but my preference has always been billy cobhams power and versatility...so if u find billy boring u must be a concert piano player not a drummer,SIR !!!!
not impressed!!! fast yes, interesting licks, no. He plays slow easy beats and then tries to dazzle with a speed lick. If you watch close enough they are the same patterns. And that crap at the end with the different rhythms only impresses himself. It's garbage you would never be able to play with other musicians. He is a great drummer, I just don't care for his style........probably my opinion and my opinion alone. But I'm O.K with that.

The greatest drummer of all time
still cant get over how relaxed those hands are. rebound mastery
One of the greatest to ever do it… A true living legend…
Stood right next to him at a clinic he gave in Chicago around this time. Simply mind blowing.
Look at the faces of the audience, smiles, laughter, disbelief. DC on fire!
I've watched this so many times. Still love this like crazy!
probably one of his best, if not, his best solo I have seen

@@brewbeer5569 Dennis Chambers is likely the king of least effort yet playing fast and powerful.
Exactly!! I've watched this a hundred times. Frightening!!
Damnit..that chewing gum never gets old.
super rapido y con un sentido del ritmo que en pocos tienes......pues si....uno de los mejor em absoluto
I remember this video from years ago! So influencing!
Man what a gift!!!

the michael jackson/jordan of drumming no other drummer can match this clinic this is like his motown 25 when mike first did the moon walk to call this mn a great drummer would be a under statement his the GOD of drumming other drummers are masters and great
One of the best his solos...I just don't know why tom heads are so high tuned?Dennis is one of the greatest...will always be.
@@DW_drumsAmen to that. And they sound better than muffled drums.

I never liked the way Dennis tuned his drums, but man alive isn’t he brilliant
So good it makes me laugh

Grande indipendenza cassa rullante piatto
Bruner Jr's predecessor
What did he had for breakfast that day…..?
4:06 - 4:15 !!!
Some of, if not the greatest soloing I have ever seen bar none. That shit is AMAZING.
4:13
Killer groove and dynamics but what about his bass drum sound? Chambers makes it sound kinda unique
2:50 to 3:05?
His Execution from 2:57 - 3:02 #spoton

Chambers is unflinching
Jesus
2.00. Now you see the importance of Gadd
True, he used a bit of that here.
cobham tops buddy......you knew that!!
those SIMPLE rhythyms are poly rhythyms.NOT simple.
My gosh those rack toms sound pitiful!
Never heard them sound that bad before.
The snare and kick sounds good, but yeah, toms sound terrible.
Sounds like he’s using paper heads.
Le falto hacer un globo con el chicle nada mas
You´re obviously not a day over fourteen.
I have the albums with Cobham like Birds of Fire.
Your OPINION is not a universal fact. It´s just your prefered taste.
how did you know that einstein??
THE BEST DRUMMER EVER (AT AGE 30) WAS/IS BILLY COBHAM PERIOD...JUST CHECK OUT HIS RECORDINGS WITH MAHAVISHNU. U WILL SOON CHANGE YOUR MIND!!
mviking52 chambers would smoke cobham..kid you not.i no all the greats and dennis and vinnie couluta are the top
I love his solos and speed and style....yes, BUT THE DRUM G-D IS STILL BILLY COBHAM!!
The Drum G-D is Buddy Rich, Dennis and Billy are demi G-Ds, the rest of us are just Priests leading the flock. Praise the Lord!
thats impossible...best drummer ever is/was and will be is cobham..no doubt ..you are mistaken "drummerboy".....buddy rich? get outta here nuttball!!!!

Awful tom sounds, but drummer is great ofc
No, Cobham was never interesting. And yes, I have the Mahavishnu Orchestra albums.
