I'll never forget the day I found this video three years ago..completely changed my perception of drumming and what it can be..so many drummers do this kind of thing, but to me chris is the true master...and it's always a treat to hear him lay back on a simple groove when he does it every once in a while lol..such an amazing feel
One of the GREATEST ever. The rythyms and patterns he comes up with are out of this world. He plays between the beats BETWEEN the beats and makes it look effortless.
I feel you on that. I know it's real but at the same time its like its so good that it just SEEMS unreal. I been listening to him for a while now and I tell you he's a beast. I would listen to him and Chris Coleman all day.
I've admired "Papa" Jo Jones and Chris Dave for their fun-loving swagger behind the kit. "Papa" still is the man, but this guy is perhaps my favorite modern drummer. He just plays with freedom.
gospel drummers, although he isn't playing in a gospel setting, I believe he is exhibited some of the characteristics of gospel fills...but they seem to be a culture unto their own, creating a very specific and complex feel within any kind of musical theme, jazz, rock, latin, etc
@ThePhodut Yeah, I just got into the old jazz stuff, and I noticed chris doing a lot of things that Tony used, and the swiss army triplet is a well used tool in tonys tool box.
i feel like people give j dilla too much credit on chris dave videos like more than like 0.0001% of what he's doing he had to derive from j dilla's drunk groove
@@jonasdamion1627 a good reason they do that is because chris dave plays a lot of his tunes. Take this video at 1:46 for example, before it almost goes full "raindrops on roses" they are playing dilla.. if they never played jay dee probably people would have less to say. They play jay dee because there is obviously love and mutual admiration.. dilla made music that was a nod to the drummers who played jazz but loved funk hiphop and dub. His whole style was in that connection and that awareness. He was a drummer too but he couldnt do what chris does. So understandably the drummers following his body of work and immediately connected to his lineage, would return the nod, and here some person always thinks they are smart for pointing it out. But the connection is fact. There is an obvious dialogue. Chris Dave without dilla is something you can't imagine.. Hitchcock without edgar allen poe, well, maybe that too
inside chris dave is a metal drummer waiting to explode and play blast beats all day! haha im joking don't crucify me, i love playing in 7 and i love this guys style, also the mix of his style in the jazz trio setting, his work with Tony Grey was ill too
yeah i think he can just kind of tell. when i jam along to this song, it helps me to think of the bass groove, like from the beginning to 49 seconds, and use timekeeping that way.
yeah cd is the man! it must be a blessing/curse to play with this dude... no matter how dope you play (robert glasper is playing some beautiful shit in this clip) i think people just watch chris the whole time. i do... i feel like this is how dave chappelle would look if he played drums
@Timbalero561 agreed but i'd have to add Jeff Watts ;) I saw Chris 11 years ago with Kenny Garrett and he was already killin but i'd never have imagined he'd turn into...that!!!!!!!! 8P This guy truly is somethin else! his trio with Foley is absolutely insane as well...
I return here 14 years later and it’s still 🔥🔥

4 years later.. Still my favorite drumming vid
Know the feel bro...
Matthew Britt seriously tho I look a drumming so differently now
It is highly suggested that all metronomes practice with a Chris Dave for tempo and rhythmic accuracy.
His approach to drums takes the word "standard" out of jazz. There is hope for true evolution to modern jazz.
One of the GREATEST ever. The rythyms and patterns he comes up with are out of this world. He plays between the beats BETWEEN the beats and makes it look effortless.
I just got hip to this guy like 2hrs ago. How is he that good? No one should be that good!
been there
Why ? We need more advanced musicians than ever for technology at this point
@@jungleninja8415 word
This video got me into music production. Changed my life. Found this like 7 years ago
Chris dave doesn't have a tight pocket...the pocket has a tight Chris Dave
rah lol
at 2:09 how he plays the hi-hat is so sick. Not only how he can come up with such ideas but the skill to execute like he does...second to none!
two sticks.. one hand... *mind blown*
His subdivisions and feeling of the beat are so crazy. Glasper sounds great too. Cool stuff here
Every time I watch him I learn something 🤛🏽 thanks for posting.
Chris Dave and Mark Giuliana are the most innovative drummers that i have ever heard!
That's what my drummer says. Anyway we are now restructuring my book to fit into this intentional polyrhythmic deal.
Check out Yussef Dayes...;-)
That would be some serious dynamics!!!Which only guys like these utilize anymore what a pleasure chapeau c'est magnifique et encroyable
Some drummers are on time. Some drummers chase time. In this instance, I think time is chasing Chris. Wow.
Probably one of the more creative drummers I've ever seen.
this dude is innovative. truly innovative. his chops are out of this world, too.
Like Adam Deitch said...Dave is the most profound drummer on the scene.
Deitch is another groove master. Both big influences for me!
I feel ya.
Redonx. And in 7/8 the whole time?! What a beast!
so much soul and technique at the same time.
This cat has an amazing sense of time and unreal chops
pretty special. thanks for posting.
I feel you on that. I know it's real but at the same time its like its so good that it just SEEMS unreal. I been listening to him for a while now and I tell you he's a beast. I would listen to him and Chris Coleman all day.
his dynamics are ridiculous, one of the best jazz players out there
I'm going to fucking lose my mind if I listen this any longer!
Definitely an acquired taste. Not for everybody but hey thats what makes the world go round. To each his own.
This is the perfect video for up and coming drummers. You don't need a 28 piece kit to blow minds.
this is UNREAL BEAUTY!!!
Chris is a drumming young genius. Truly awesome. Brother Michael L. Ellis
That drummin at its BEST!
yeah!!!!!!! had me on the edge of my seat!
Amazing.
He is the one of the universe..
Holy Balls!!! This guy can spazz out LIKE FREAKING CRAZY! Amazing drummer!! I'm floored. :D
the calmness on his face LOL!!! its like its just so easy...
The name of this song is Jelly's Da Beener. off of Robert Glasper's album titled Canvas. Released in 2005. The bands name id The Robert Glasper Trio.
so true man, i strive to be a good musician like chris.
I LOVE CHRIS STYLE!!!!!! my ultimate drum hero
wow, i cant even break down his concept and style lol, one day... this guy is my favorite drummer
OH MY STARS I ADORE THIS MAN SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!
Sick, Chris is the boss of rythm. There are only a few drummers that can create such an amazing vibe.
Jamire Williams has a video playing this same song... I don't understand the comparison of these two very different styles. Love them both.
I can Hear God when he speaks through the spirit of music. Thanks Chris remember the Howard days.
1:44 that melody makes me feel so nostalgic I love it so much...
I don't even try to understand the rythm here! That Chris Dave guy is sick!
!Nat!
I remember when i first saw this vid and i was like " wow! jazz can sound like that?!hmm. Some real innovaters right here.
First vid I've seen him crack a grin in.
awesome playing
I've admired "Papa" Jo Jones and Chris Dave for their fun-loving swagger behind the kit. "Papa" still is the man, but this guy is perhaps my favorite modern drummer. He just plays with freedom.
mindblasting, extraordinary, exceptional. \m/ rock on!
You can't learn this in a book. It's all feel.
Don't worry about all these technical things. Just feel it.
robert glasper. great musician.
That's probably the BEST SNARE I'VE EVER HEARD!!! X-)
wao true talent here amazing taste
Speechless...
This is that Jelly's da Beener joint. LOVE it b/c Dave has his way of controlling the time in a refreshing way... you still feel a groove...in 7 =)
Very, very nice playing.
first vid i ever saw of him 8 years ago
Chris u betta play
Yeah, agreed, Mark Guiliana and Chris Dave is where its at for drummers.
saw him with bilal at yoshis in SF. incredible.
It's focus, this cat has 24/7 access to infinite intelligence because of that stare.
this cures my headaches
amazin!!
Awesome :)
gospel drummers, although he isn't playing in a gospel setting, I believe he is exhibited some of the characteristics of gospel fills...but they seem to be a culture unto their own, creating a very specific and complex feel within any kind of musical theme, jazz, rock, latin, etc
How is that even possible to side stick that quick. No one plays like him
He teamed up with Pino and D'Angelo for D's upcoming comeback tour!
That just good ole' inovation.
@ThePhodut Yeah, I just got into the old jazz stuff, and I noticed chris doing a lot of things that Tony used, and the swiss army triplet is a well used tool in tonys tool box.
@eeeyyyeee Don't know what kind of kit he uses, but the cymbal you are talking about looks like an O-Zone crash cymbal with rivets in it.
I wonder if he realises how fucking cool he looks.
the 1st video i saw of him
The whole joint is
Sounds like some Jay Dee drumming, fantastic stuff
i feel like people give j dilla too much credit on chris dave videos like more than like 0.0001% of what he's doing he had to derive from j dilla's drunk groove

@@metalworker87 facts.
Exactly 💯✌🏾🤘🏾😅
@@jackxavier3915 Word and TY!🤘🏾💚🙏🏽 #facts! #jdinspired🎼
LOL " ahhh so superman was black after alll" I like dat
it's not drumming it's art
inside chris dave is a metal drummer waiting to explode and play blast beats all day!
haha im joking don't crucify me, i love playing in 7 and i love this guys style, also the mix of his style in the jazz trio setting, his work with Tony Grey was ill too
my guess is that he can just feel it. i think that once you are as familiar with the drums as he is, you just feel where everything lines up.
amazing
next level
yeah i think he can just kind of tell. when i jam along to this song, it helps me to think of the bass groove, like from the beginning to 49 seconds, and use timekeeping that way.
0:53 Gotta love that smile that says, "Yeah, I know what you just did."
LOOOOL.
Chris Dave is so great....real awsome drummer....BUT STILL THERE IS NO NUMBER ONE CLEAR BEST....DO THE RESEARCH
Very nice
yeah cd is the man! it must be a blessing/curse to play with this dude... no matter how dope you play (robert glasper is playing some beautiful shit in this clip) i think people just watch chris the whole time. i do... i feel like this is how dave chappelle would look if he played drums

unreal.
if you listen to the hi hat when he gets to the max tempo, it's in time
That guy gets alot of gigs.
Johnston Middle School's Finest
@PatrickManzecchi he is chris dave..there will never be and never has been another chris dave..just like there has been and will never be another tony
homeboy went to my school HSPVA!!!
Didn't want to influence other people's ideas with my own but what you said is the same thing I thought.
crazy!
1:00 that kick comes in so sweet...ah make me drool more lol
dont know about y'all but im hearing melodies coming out of those drums
Seriously... this guy is the new Tony Williams. Period.
@jrock162000 1 word this is a good example of a great perseption of time
You just nasty, Piano player showin off at the end. love it
7/8. right on the money.
he's too creative
