And there you have it. True winners of this vid is us watching it. Represents the best elements for any drummer: DC = Power & Dominance; LB = Rhythm & Adaptability and GB = Finesse & Technique.
Dennis was trying to make a name for himself as as far as I remember this was kind of his first showing on a big stage. Man he just stares down Bissonette waiting to see what he does so he can just do it way better and a thousand times quicker with way more confidence also. He definitely made an impression!
I saw Louie Bellson and Gregg Bissonette play at the then North Texas State University. Gregg was the drummer for the very famous One O'clock Lab Band, and Louie was there doing a demo. I had no idea how lucky I was to live near Denton Tx in 1980 and see both of those legends in the same year. That being said, I cannot believe Dennis Chambers is not a cyborg. What he lays down in this video cannot be real life. Musically I'd rather listen to Louie or Gregg, but technically you just cannot touch Dennis.
Mi favorito es Dennis Chambers, ese tipo no solo es baterista, es un artista en todo el sentido de la definición. Bissonette y Bellson no son cosa menor, mi admiración para ellos también es mayúscula pero... todos tenemos nuestro favorito. Otro que no está aquí es Dave Weckl, otro artista de los tambores y platillos
Dennis Chambers is the only live drummer I've ever seen where his arms actually became blurred as he moved around his kit, such is his speed and facility around a drum set.
@@percyvolnar8010 No, he specifically talked about it in a Drumeo interview last month. ua-cam.com/video/cY5B44G640Y/v-deo.htmlsi=qq1hyyyKTnKOlvpT&t=8m18s
@@elperenza My point still stands. He may have gotten it from that song ( which is black music, btw ) but Chambers can tell you exactly where that 'beat' came into prominence in black music.
Thank you for these excellent uploads! Could you please possibly add this video to its corresponding playlist? It’s the only one that’s missing. Thanks again.
i wouldn't say he embarrassed them. louie is an old skool swing/jazz player and bisonette is a rock drummer. dennis is jazz/ funk. 3 different styles and everyone is there for a good cause and to have fun and that's what the three of they were doing.

Watching these guys trading 4’s and 8’s such a pleasure
Making Louie Bellson play funk is mad funny

Yeah Dennis blew the roof of that gig and it made him instantly famous in drum world - pure fire
Speed and power isnt everthing.Chambers was always a show off but a grear drummer.
My screen just melted...

AWESOME, AWESOME, & AWESOME!!!

With that look at the end, he probably wanted to say: I love the drums!
The ending is unbelievable!!!
Mister Chambers !!!
Mr Bellson
Chambers all the way
Dennis is one of my favorites he's fast
THE BUS TAPES!!!
3:14
DC=GB² 😱
radical action to unseat the hold of buddy rich
Chambers never seems to work up a sweat or that he's putting the least effort into it. Just smooth a silk.....
Greg going into "Da Butt" is amazing
He wasn't 'going into 'Da Butt'... he went into a common funk pattern that was heard in alot of black music at the time. Sheesh.

It's done. Thank you for reminding me.
Steve Smith is not human.👽
Dennis is like a boxer in the ring, that is the différence i know how it fills
Dennis embarrassed those guys holly shit

@@kevsta67 The audience agrees with OP.
This was great, but nothing will ever top Weckyl, Gadd, And Vinnie.
Add Porcaro and I'm good with the list!
@@sasha6009 I think this comment is referring to the Weckl Gadd Vinnie video from this same concert
デニチェンの遠慮無し、容赦無さ過ぎな叩きっぷりが… 🤣
可哀想だけど、年配のルイベルソンとテクニック的に見劣りするグレッグビソネットはちょっと可哀そう…
他に組み合わせが考えられなかったのかしら？
Not for nuthin' But neither of them deserve to be on the same stage with Bellson!!! He's just giving them a drum lesson!!!! They can't play Jazz!!!!
