    Chops aside, his beat placement and use of space is really what impresses me. Hats off to Dennis Chambers on this one

    Dennis for me - everything! The first time I heard it on the record with jazz festival in Munster, afraid to make a mistake somewhere in 1987. And already in 1997, listened and looked him in Moscow at a concert during the festival Zildjian days. It was just amazing !! Let Dennis knows his revered and admired for the former "Iron Curtain" ;0)))

    @archologyzero 11 лет назад

    You are so welcome to your opinion, but there is a reason why Dennis is one of the best, and one of the best teachers out there. Most of those drummers who I'd guess you think dont suck, wouldn't last ten seconds in a drum duel with this man, and there are very few who can reach this level of stone cold, level headed groove. Obviously you are NOT a drummer. Because what Dennis is doing here? Is what drumming is all about. And this is the easiest explanation of his enormous discography.

  • @gretschbasher
    @gretschbasher 12 лет назад

    I agree, I used a double pedal a lot back in the 90's because it was the cool thing to do, just to realize I was over-using it. I switched to a single pedal and my doubles and triplets got a lot tighter, but I wanted that extra option of a double pedal, so this year I bought one, I rarely use it but it's always there for flavor.

    Just look how much fun he and Gary are having! It's the joy of the groove, and there's nothing boring about it. Really neat hearing him keep such excellent time with such musicality; the interplay between the musicians was wonderful to watch. I'd rather see that than ostentatious, showy performance any time.
