This changed my drumming. Thank you Aquiles.

Awesome to learn about Chris. We all love him so much. Although Berklee told me "um, not now", I went on the road as a pro drummer with a fresh high school diploma at 17 with a bunch of Berklee grads. 5 years later, I wanted off the road for a family and jumped on a bread truck for 43 years, with gigs only on Saturdays. Retired now, except for gigging, I feel liked my life has been a great dream come true!

The interviewer spent way too much time in his youth watching ‘Spinal Tap’.

Way to go Tommy. When online adolescence kicks in too hard, it is the job of us adults to get the perpetrators to bring it down. Hormones mixed with egos are a potent concoction especially when it can hide behind a keypad indoors. We cannot - must not get too angry and emotional about it, but we can instruct and advise. By choosing and selecting our response carefully we must seek to diffuse and re-direct. It ain't easy, but I think we must make it our responsibility to lead by example. The youth of today, are the adults of tomorrow. They don't have to follow the same mold as has been the case for two or three generations. By the way, I love your instructional drumming videos, they are just brilliant. I have been drumming since I was around eleven years of age, and at sixty-seven I have a lot of drumming behind me, and I still play every day. I would also like to give something back and explain some of the things that helped me along the way, and we'll see how badly I get trolled when I open my drum academy.

Crazy I been a fan of Chris's for so long and I never knew he was from Saginaw. I knew plenty of folks from there coming up just 30 minutes south in Flint. Being a drummer and going to Berklee as well it just doesn't make sense for us to have not crossed paths at some point. Great dude tho...thanks for sharing.

I used to follow this guy but he is typical east coast drum corps douche bag

She's just great😊

He was a great inspiration and one of my favorites. God bless you Dom for your contagious enthusiasm and positive energy. RIP

This fool kicked people who had respectful, valid criticism. He too fragile.

Love this

You can’t write better satire than reality sometimes.

Imagine becoming *the* Steely Dan drummer. After years of speed-dating, they found their keeper. I attended a Keith Carlock drum clinic in London a few years ago, and sat about 10 feet from this genius. Extraordinary power. Extraordinary precision. Just brilliant.

Simply Brilliant Woman !!! Drum Extraordinaire !!! Keep the Rhythm Alive !

keep teaching ,,, carrie on as crosby stills n nash sung.

Are you married Anika?

Don’t worry about age Anika. Look at Jeff Beck and Vinnie etc. Just don’t look at Biden!

Great man. RIP Dom.

Wow❤

I don't really know how to describe what I'm feeling about what Anika said at :48 in the video. I think it's the sad reality of the UA-cam influencer watering and dumbing down people with scantily clad, click bait videos to get a million subscribers in as short of time as possible. Unfortunately, it seems like Anika is very aware of this terrible phenomenon and is feeling as though if she isn't this young, hot, woman putting out videos where she shows off her bare feet and as much cleavage as legally possible (this is inferred, of course), she will become irrelevant. Anika, I want you to know that that will never happen to you. I remember watching your video, Alter Ego, many years ago. At first I was like, "Oh here's another pretty girl playing the drums video. Probably will be an exploit fest." Then I realized, "Wait a minute, she's fully clothed. Somethings different here." Then you started playing and I literally fell back in my seat with my mouth on the floor. "Holy shit," I thought, "This girl is a player." And you have been blowing everyone away with your playing ever since. Honestly, as much as a solid paycheck is a great comfort, you owe it to all of humanity to show off your amazing talents behind the kit. You are an inspiration to current drummers and you are paving a road for the kids of tomorrow to take what you have done and build off of it to inspire the future of drumming. Those dumb, half naked, influencer drummers will be forgotten in a years' time. Your legacy will live on for generations of drummers.

So why did you put down Nickleback and by association one of the finest drummers .

l play Timbales (cuban drums) in a Salsa Band and l watched all of the "The Sessions" videos, all of them. Watched Dom not only because he was a great interviewer but because he was a great human being. So freaking loving of music and loving of people. l am mourning his loss greatly. l'm gonna miss that guy! RIP.

hahaha, grinning, haha, interesting, hahaha, absolutely, absolutely, I did this, I did that, while smiling, speaking more slowly to feign being interested in the subject and then, ofcourse, start talking about myself, showing lot's of teeth, and start getting excited about something, haha, and then wrap it up with a generic statement, while nodding my head, laughing, haha, so incredible

Awesome.

Thirty Years ago I had the pleasure of spending a few hours in his company and the experience is as vivid as the evening itself. A kind and generous man.

Never told that youre Barefeet would be Supergreat !?? 💕👣

Great guy gone too soon

He was the best 😢 Tearing up watching. Such an inspiration. ❤ Thx for posting 🙏

Dom's enthusiasm and joy about drumming is absolutely infectious. What a great loss. RIP SIR!!

I saw this great drummer for the first time together with Benny greb and making fun together with many more drummers. Have checked him out what a super inspiration that man was Rest in peace 😢...this man must get a special place in heaven.

Inspiring man. RIP🙏

RIP. I don't think he fully knew what an inspiration he was.

RIP Legend

RIP. I'm a guitar player but he resonates with me. Love this guy.

such a powerful and motivational speaker, for life itself,

STRONG WORDS, now that has happened, im truly sad ...

I'll never forget the inspiration this man gave me while at a drum clinic in austin texas, i ended up winning a sabian cymbal signed by him, a sabian banner and a private drum lesson with him the next day. that was 30 years ago and i've never felt like that again since. RIP Master, say hi to the Professor for me.

Today is everything Dom for me on YT. It sucks. He led a good life and contributed so much to the drumming community and to humanity.

Rest in peace dear dom. 🙏🏽 😢

RIP the Drum King

Dangnabbit Interwebz!

Didn’t know Steve Smith knows that music. Very interesting interview. The interviewer is also good and cool to just let Steve tell his stories.

This buffoon really needs a slap to put his ego in place! 😂

This guy is a bullying fascist who doesn’t believe in freedom of thought or speech. I don’t care how good his chops are, I have no time the thought police. He’s a disgrace of a human.

Tommy Ego

This is silly 😆

I once read a you tube commentator troll sonny payne on his 1962 drum solo with count basie when he finishes off with the most incredible stick tricks and this guy was saying he (sonny payne)can't hit da cymbals that guy needs to move out of his mother's house 🏠

After drumming for 37 years and the pandemic sending me broke financially I lost motivation but now with a few simple ideas without any big plans I'm just going to do something different than what I've been doing for the last ten years which has been music from west Africa I'm a bit tired of djembe anyway and will get back into playing kit and see what happens from then on

Jost great drummer!
