Every gospel chop drummer who cranks up their snare drum and likes to play through the bar line owes this man a BIG thank you!!! You are here because of him!! He's the grand daddy of the gospel chop!!! Long before the term gospel chop existed!!!
True. He used to hang out at Gordon Miller music in Towson Maryland back way way back and I'd catch him in there and just talk drums and drummers for hours. Nicest guy ever!!! Of course hearing and watching him play in person is just an unbelievable experience. When gets warmed up there is no more powerful exquisite musician you will ever see. A prodigy like no other. But to me pearl Master custom drums had a resonance that I never heard or felt with any other drums and I've played or owned them all. The pearls just made me sound way better than I should have. Probably just a personal thing to my own ear but I love those drums.
Seriously. It's unbelievable. There was a point in time where I was just waiting to hear the worst news. Now it looks like nothing happened. What a recovery :)
He's back to full strength. I love seeing my favourite drummer in such great form. I've had Cab 1 and 2 on permaplay in the car for a fortnight since seeing this video. A drumming legend!
As if nothing happend between the 90ies and today, no transplant, no getting older. Very rare that somebody does not loose just a little bit quality & soul over all those years. Wow ! I am blown away ! Just another time by this genius on drums. This solo I haven't heard over decades maybe. Thanx Pearl for sharing and thanx Dennis for performing this one. Ain't nothing but a party ;)
Hey Dennis, you sound great as always. I finally saw you live a few years ago, with Mike Stern at the Newton Theater. Thanks for the chat and the pic, as you were putting your drums in the car. Hope I see you again soon. Play at the Falcon in Marlboro NY
Absolutely one of my favorite drummers. I saw a video of Dennis Chambers and Victor Wooten and I couldn't believe the jam they did with just the two of them. I still have that video in my favorites...... :-)
I remember him looking very different when he did the Zildjian live a few years ago. I don't know if he was sick but now he looks like nothing happened at all.
Great drums, shame we didn't get to hear them more. Dennis's Signature Snare and bass drum yeah. I wanted to hear the awesome toms. A better advert for Zildjian than they do themselves. A shame.
I hear snare drum ,bass drum and cymbals. Doesn't he like his toms? Pearl has great drums and a great tom sound! With other heads other sound, so personal preferences can be made. He can choose the drums he like so .. perhaps use another type of the great Pearl Drums? I have 4 Pearl drumkits and i like them! Hardware but also the sound! Especially toms and bass drum.
@apple I BET YOU GUYS DIDNT GIVE THE APPLE WATCH ULTRA ! THE DENNIS CHAMBERS TEST.. well here it is hope it survives this cause hes fast agile and more fluid than most everyone lol
IS THIS A NEW RECENT VIDEO OR DENNIS OR AN OLD ONE CAUSE HE'S LOOKING REALLY GOOD NOW BETTER THEN THAT ZILDJIAN ONE HE DID A FEW YEARS BACK THE MASTER STILL HAS IT SOMEONE WHO TRULY UNDERSTANDS DRUMMING AND THE SOUND OF WHAT THE INSTRUMENT SHOULD SOUND LIKE THANKS FOR SHARING 💚
His hands are always unbelievable, but what caught my attention was his feet. He said he would splash the hats with the double pedal ostinato but I have never seen it.
You can see it in the overhead shot at 4:31... he lays his left foot across the hi-hat pedal and secondary bass drum pedal to play them simultaneously.

My drumming hero.
He plays all those independent rhythms and chews gum at the same time! His left hand is badass!
Double Bass and hi hat at the same time !!!! Uau !!!!
Dennis is definitely one of the greatest drummers ever, and he's a heck of a nice guy!!! 🥁🥁🥁

One Of The Baddest Drummer's On The Planet. His Chop's Are Always On Point.
This snare sounds amazing
My hero! 🤩🙏🏼❤️
I'm ecstatic to see my drum hero back to his old.self again.......God bless him... thankful that I grew up listening to his playing.........
Seriously. It's unbelievable. There was a point in time where I was just waiting to hear the worst news. Now it looks like nothing happened. What a recovery :)
He is a genius. I think lots of drummer see him as an icon including myself.
yup I do
I could watch Dennis play all day! Truly one of the greats !
The new tom mounts are the best decision Pearl has made in decades.
The tones from those drums...PERFECTION. Pearl, you've outdone yourself. These drums will raise the bar.
Dennis is the man, his skills are AWESOME
Mr. Chambers, I am so happy to see you getting healthy again!!
He's back to full strength. I love seeing my favourite drummer in such great form. I've had Cab 1 and 2 on permaplay in the car for a fortnight since seeing this video. A drumming legend!
That snare sounds so good
One of the most musical recorded drummers. Frim mike Sterns to Santana.. Dennis delivered
And he did this while sleeping, notice his eyes closed 99% of the time, and the dynamics of his playing was angelic.
No eyes needed. Just ears and feel.
Meditative playing !!
Those drums are cannons. Dennis is a skilled artillery man. Fire away!
The Menace! Those hands... I love the tuning on these drums. Such awesome dynamic range.
Good to see the master back in action!

I remember him looking very different when he did the Zildjian live a few years ago. I don't know if he was sick but now he looks like nothing happened at all.
On Dennis’ Ride Cymbal, i notice there is a piece of either Moongel or Evans EQ Pod…. Why? Overtone control maybe?

Anyone know what mics he uses
Iconic
No words 🙌

Great drums, shame we didn't get to hear them more. Dennis's Signature Snare and bass drum yeah. I wanted to hear the awesome toms.
A better advert for Zildjian than they do themselves.
A shame.
Love ya Dennis! 👍👍
Hey Pearl, why do I have to watch random commercials while trying to watch YOUR commercial?
That snare 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hear snare drum ,bass drum and cymbals. Doesn't he like his toms? Pearl has great drums and a great tom sound! With other heads other sound, so personal preferences can be made. He can choose the drums he like so .. perhaps use another type of the great Pearl Drums? I have 4 Pearl drumkits and i like them! Hardware but also the sound! Especially toms and bass drum.

Dennis' performance was recorded on May 25, 2023 in Nashville, TN...
Legend.
His hands are always unbelievable, but what caught my attention was his feet. He said he would splash the hats with the double pedal ostinato but I have never seen it.
You can see it in the overhead shot at 4:31... he lays his left foot across the hi-hat pedal and secondary bass drum pedal to play them simultaneously.
Sounds like a train snare sounds really good
