- Every story is told based off one idea - not a hundred ideas. As drummers, we have a story to tell. In this lesson, Dave DiCenso talks about taking one idea and diversifying it with multiple creative devices to expand your repertoire, as well as create practical grooves and fills.
Dave DiCenso is a Boston-area drummer whose talent and diverse musicality have scored him a wide range of drumming achievements. Having performed with artists such as Josh Groban, Steve Morse Band, Hiromi, John Petrucci, and Duran Duran, Dave is a widely sought-after player. In addition to his performing abilities, Dave is also a Professor of Percussion at Berklee College of Music.

For me he is a top level drummer/musician.
Dave DiCenso is the four leaf clover of drummers. Everyone wants to see him so bad but you only hear of his special appearances once in a lifetime! To me he is up there with Vinnie, Weckl, and Gadd. This dude is a LEGEND!
Definitely bragging here: I took classes with him at Berklee. It changed my life!
Dave Shaffer whoa! awesome man!
You hit the nail right on the head!
I Totally agree with you!
Ive been honored to study with him for the past 6 months and the guy is definitely up there with Vinnie bro!!!!
He is insane!!!!!
TOTALLY AGREE!
Absolute BEAST - One of the finest players on the planet today!
Honestly, that's the most useful Drumeo lesson I've seen so far.
Glad you enjoyed it! Dave is so awesome.
Dave's a savage
The solo starting at 37:50 is one of the best I've ever heard. I can't run out of superlatives when talking about Dave....such a special player.
It's absolutely hilarious reading the posts/threads about how, in essence a) Dave apparently doesn't show true emotion, like it's all some kind contrived vibe being emitted from his soul, and b) Dave can't keep, or at best, has trouble keeping time.
I've seen him play in several configurations, including the Jon Finn Group back in the 90's and in solo clinics over the years.
Let me give you MY impression of Dave, as someone who actually knows the man, as opposed to those who think they are somehow blessed with the uncanny ability to read someone, from all of 60 minutes of a UA-cam video:
1. This cat POURS OUT EMOTION from EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING. I've seen him with buckets of sweat pouring down his face, after giving everything he has during a cut/solo/whatever.
2. This cat absolutely LOVES what he does. He's an extremely accomplished musician whose catalog speaks for itself. Dave's arrival at Berklee as a teacher ushered in the first rock drumming program, at what has traditionally been primarily a Jazz college.
3. In a world of other 'Drumming Gods' being worshiped and compared, in countless and countless other videos where everyone has to speak about how awesome their favorite drummer is, and use that as some sort of platform of mental masturbation with which to denigrate other drummers, Dave is the exact polar opposite of that. Speak to him IN PERSON, about other drummers, and you'll get that from him right out of the gate. He exudes respect for his colleagues and for the art form he's spent his entire life learning. He's about the music, not about music being some sort of sporting event or competition.
4. He keeps amazing time! He is totally jacked into the groove and where the pocket is, whether he's playing outside it or so deep inside it that, if you were to enter it, you'd never be able to escape ;) I've seen/heard him do some of the most amazing things, and I'm like "YES, that grooves so damn hard (like at 1:01:47-1:01:57, and yet it's so tasteful and on point with what the tune/jam is calling for at that moment."
5. He's a good friend and is one of the most approachable and humble cats you'll ever meet.
In short: Dave is the real deal.
Peace.
Amen to that!
Exactly. It's amazing how some of these dolts managed to get it EXACTLY WRONG. If you watched this video and came to the conclusion Dave isn't an expressive pocket player from hell, you're not listening, or you don't have a mind for music. This performance was incredible, and Dave is an absolutely astounding player who can play, and feel, any kind of music he chooses to take on. Not only that, the exercise he was teaching in this video is fantastic, and totally practical/useful.
I totally agree with your comment about Dave's class, just wondering where these negative comments about him supposed to be. Don't see any.
Yeah I try to tell people all the time music is Art it's not Sports
So have your proposed to him yet?
DD eats, lives and breaths drumming. His expressions are not only real but demonstrate a deep passion for what he's doing. Nothing fake about this guy - even in his early days with TTS, he was always expressive and became one with the music.
Absolute legend. This guy is one the 'Holy Grail' players. Nothing but inspiration to me, his solo at the Modern Drummer Festival was off the scale.
I agree ..very unique and creative ...his solos are so musical ..they become addictive ..no one sounds like this dude ...his drumming skill is up there in rarified air ...beautiful
My absolute favorite drummer!! Totally unique player who is not known by nondrummers... Love ya Dave!
My favorite part is the whole lesson! Dave's plane is unbelievable. This is probably my favorite lesson that you guys have shown. I've seen about 95% of your lessons and this one just connect with me for some reason.
"Every exercise you do should groove." Good advice there. I think sometimes it's easy to tell yourself you're just playing an exercise, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't groove.... but that's not gonna help us learn musicality. Great video Dave + Drumeo.
Not only a fantastic drummer, but a great and humble soul, also. I've contacted Dave via email in respect to some exercises in his "universal rhythms" and the guy comes back to me responding withing a few hours in a polite and respectful manner. That is a sign of greatness. This is one of my favorite drumeo lessons.
Unreal, Dave DiCenso is one hell of an instructor, what a great attitude.
Dave's musical mind is astonishing. The speed that his mind works is very special. He's such a real cat, man. So advanced. So fluid. So natural. Watch his motions and how his body translates and absorbs his ideas as he executes his ability to make music while telling a story behind the drumkit.
I loved how he refers to drummers as storytellers, very cool perspective. Dave is a fantastic teacher, I enjoyed the entire lesson!
Dave discenso and Gavin Harrison to me are the 2 drummers in this world that are taking drum solos to another level..like a mozart master piece on drums ..wonderful and magical playing indeed
I love watching Dave's intensity that he pours into EVERY NOTE. Every note matters. Killer.
THE MAN!! One of the best players EVER.
The best part of the lesson for me was that solo at the 38 minute mark. I watch lots of performances all the time, and I'm not always easily phased and that made me feel really inspired. What a knockout, Dave rules.
I've been waiting for this lesson FOR YEARS
World Class right there. His live solo with Two Ton Shoe is legendary! Cheers, Dave!
Dave D makes the best drum choices on the fly. It's some pretty adult decision-making going on throughout his playing. So damn musical.
i just love how Dave TALKS about drums (not mention his incredible playing) - he has such a great understanding of the mechanics and the fine details of how and WHY we do the things we do. one of the best teachers out there!
My favourite part was Dave's left foot dynamics during his first solo, I had never heard a ghosted hi-hat played with the foot before !
Simply the best 6 stroke roll lesson I've ever seen. I've got plenty to practice for months and months. Thanks!
My favorite part of the lesson is where Drumeo features yet another of the absolute G.O.A.T. and gave us an hour inside his head and playing.
Thank you Drumeo. And thank you so much Dave.
Dave Dicenso is next level!! One of my favorite drummers of all time!
When I was at Berklee, Kenwood Dennard was my private teacher. And Dave’s room was right across from his. We spoke occasionally.
And, once in a while, he complimented me too. He was a genuinely nice guy. And it was a pleasure to meet him.
Love the way he communicates and gets his concepts to the student. Very effective and deliberate.
This drum solo is so unique and CRAZY! I love this. Just when I thought I've heard all of Dave's playing, he can pull out anything!
the fav part is how he not only demystify the rudiments but opens your mind to counting subdivisions whatever note value it is. i listen intently to all his words like a son listening to his father. congratz drumeo for great lesson and thnx dave dicenso. more power to all of you!!!
Daves feel is so incredible and always makes me pay attention when he plays! He has such authority! I want the whole book! Im going to rewatch this lesson!
He just puts a whole new spin on rudiments which helped me to understand them better and how to orchestrate them better on the kit 👍
DiCenso is giving us so much here... great lesson Drumeo, I've been coming back to this for days now. Thank you to everyone involved in these amazing, FREE lessons.
Dave is a master. One of the greatest of all time in my opinion. Thanks Dave!
I have the biggest smile on my face watching this.
Wow, that was one of the best drumming performances I've seen in a long time - Love this guy's style. So much power and a unique style.
Dave is one of the premiere drummers in the world for sure. His soloing is top 10 in my opinion. He rivals the likes of the king of melodic soloing, Dave Weckl. This is a guy you can watch play for hours and never get bored.
I love how he encourages us to get as much as we can from one rudiment. It's helped me to try and find ways to get more out of the small concepts I already use as a drummer and getting more mileage from these concepts.
His creativity and energy is mind blowing!
I just love how fluent and dynamic Dave's playing is. HUGE inspiration!
Definitely loved the exercises. Way out of my box and past many things I've heard of before. Thank you so much, Dave!
that first track has to be the finest track ever recorded at Drumeo. Insane.
Love listening to your playing Dave. So glad that Drumeo brought you in to do a lesson. So great to see your knowledge taking you so many different places, man! Keep on groovin' on!!
Love the intensity with which you play!!
I've had the privilege of meeting Dave, such a nice guy. Love his playing.
one of the best all around drummers ever!!! I used to see Dave at berklee when I was studying there, and used to go and see his band "2 tone shoe", back in 1998, he blow my mind, and still does, AMAZING player and teacher!! congrats to him and Drumeo for having him!!
Seeing him play in the beginning was just amazing. He is so active when he plays
Underated Drumeo lesson. Dave is a great modern drum master and you gotta love his drumming skills.
This was amazing: awesome hand speed and control, composition excellence, and the most fun game faces I have ever seen!
Wow, the control and dynamics are amazing, powerful when loud and equally as strong when soft
One of the best in the world. LOVE Dave.
Very useful hour of lesson, thanks drumeo, thanks Mr. DiCenso.
The most, no - the MOST informative video on Drumeo! I've never heard about Dave, but this information is amazing!
This guy is truly amazing, as is this lesson. Amazing job.
What a killer player and always fun to watch him perform.
I love EVERYTHING about this lesson!!! :D
what i liked the most was the part where he explained how he pictures the same idea shaping with the different creative concepts, using the count to give sense to the displacement and resolution points, it was sooo revealing thank you!
Great to see Dave on Drumeo! Love his feel and great ideas! Can't wait to try them out!
Incredible!! That feather touch
Animal..one of the best...beautiful sounding kit too
I stopped playing the drums in 2005 and I haven't known Dave till today. Best video so far, best lesson so far. I feel to wanting return to playing the drums again!
The best Drumeo lesson. Dave is one rad drummer.
First of all, I love the kit. The wood finish just looks amazing. The lesson was great, quite refreshing to look at the bars from back to front ! :) Thanks guys
Just fkn Awesome! Saw Dave 2years ago in NH accompanied with organist....The show was mind-blowing...
Dave is an INCREDIBLE teacher. Maaaaaan.
I'm incredibly jealous of all the drummers at Berkeley, they are super lucky to have Dave, he's a fantastic teacher.
Berklee*
Very useful lesson from a GREAT drummer and a wonderful human being !
yYES!! You guys brought Dicenso, ty so much, i just know its gonna be great!!!!!
One Ti-Ta & ti-ta Two Ti-Ta & Ti-Ta 3 Ti-Ta & Ti-Ta 4 Ti-Ta & Ti-Ta. Very easy to speak 16th note triplets this way. has worked for me and my students for 45 years.
i like that there is a force and momentum greater than the super-fluidity of the limbs at work, it's the grace, and the communication, and the way playfulness is not lost in the midst of the warrior executions.
I like and appreciate Dave's comments about the pursuit of being a "musician". I want to learn as much as I can about the interaction and structure of different musical instruments in a musical construct. I love playing drums and I really enjoy learning the different aspects of being a more learned drummer and musician.
Fantastic! great feel and creativity!
Great insight. I love his feel and grooviness on the kit. He and Benny Greb are my favorite clinicians!
this guy plays with his entire heart and soul...
wonderful!
That applications of the rudiments are awesome!
This is legit drum lesson where Dave directly jumps into the lesson with sheet music, without the host needing to remind Dave why he is here for, which happens in other videos. No offence to others. All videos are great on this channel.
I love the first 3 exercises starting with minute 13 displacement... I'm a new drummer and I didn't know that a simple exercise like a paradidledidle could be applied in such beautiful grooves. Thank you drumeo
Great drummer, fantastic lesson.
Exellent musicien, un des batteurs les plus intenses que j’ai entendu, frappe solide et bien balancée, beaucoup de feeling, j’adore
You introduced me to a whole new way of playing rudiments!! Thanks
love his Snare and bass sound,also his sense of humor!
Love this guy! Embarrassed to say I haven't heard of him until now. Great guy, beautiful drummer and musician.
That demonstration on displacement was just killer!
Amazing drummer, groove, feel, dynamics. My drum practice sessions are much more exciting after watching this lesson.
Incredible Dave!All the best from Brazil!I'll buy your book.
One of my favorite feel drummers.
Wow! I love this guy! Great lesson!!! Very interesting rudimental conception. Two beatfull solos and your crazy way for playing! Greetings from Brazil!
Jeez i have learned more from dave than any drummer over the last 15 years!! Love this guy
Everything Dave does is grooving!
Very interesting and creative. Love to see him play more. I did learn something ... tqvm
Dave is a very unique drummer. I have his Universal Rhythms text and it's an eye-opener in using the 5 common rhythms and embellishing and making variations on them.
My favorite part of this lesson was hearing Dave articulate his approach and concepts. This is just as important as the mechanics of drumming, which is philosophical as well.
...that´s absolutelly unbelievable guys...I just can´t thank you enough for that
Dave is criminally underrated
This guy is my new idol. Absolutely.
These guys are the reason that I'm getting so into jazz style drumming
My favourite thing is his emotion and passion in everything he plays.
Man , this cat is beautiful . And he is real . great educator . really fun to watch . I remember him from that Modern drummer Festival . Never a boring moment in his Solo !
Dave is amazing, thanks for bringing him! My favourite part was probably his thoughts on how drummers/musicians are storytellers, and how it's much more useful and interesting to have few ideas and explore them in many ways, than to have a ton (two ton :) ) of them. A book or a movie mostly is built off one main idea.
my favorite part of the lesson is going over the bar line and moving around the placement of a resolution. super cool concepts to get familiar with
