Chad's playing is a pleasure to the ears. Space, melody, ideas, and rhythmic complexity without getting in the way or overplaying.

Chad's Father Mr. Wackerman was my music teacher in Seal Beach Calif. 1963-64 he was a wonderful teacher.

His dynamics are incredible. Doesn't just hit as hard as he can; he's very musical about what he does and how he plays. For this reason, he and Gavin Harrison are my two favorite drummers. Technicality, musical ability, dynamism, and just class-acts overall.

Those cymbals are just beautiful.

incredible, he is one of the best, really technical and musical at the same time, love the 3 crashes....miss the chimes here....

God I love Chad's execution. It's so technical, if he wants to, and so freaking relaxed. Just go back to his first live shows with Zappa. The same focused and relaxed playing. My favourite of him is how he follows the music he's playing with. He takes a step back when needed and fills in when it's appropriate. His solo albums and the albums with Ed Mann clearly shows this. Oh, don't forget 'Charming snakes' by Andy Summers.

one of the most modern drummer of XX century.....

One of the most musical drummers I have ever heard

So musical

i like drummers with an ear for melody and harmonics as well besides their rythmical versatility. fz knew why he took him in his band.

Fantastic.

Chad is bada**!!

Cool, thank you, uhmazing cymbals and one of best drummers, score

He was pushing 50 a minute ago ;-)

Anybody else think Wackerman looks like Bobby Orr?

It’s funny to me, to see strong, harsh criticism about this great drummer, from sad people who sit on a computer keyboard in their mother’s basement somewhere in Nebraska at the age of 50. These are probably people who play like shit, but freely took the time to criticize others instead of practicing like they should be.

What's this, Chad's developing a few grey's? Nooooooooooooooo!

Eh. He's definitely good. But just didn't tweak that nerve some drummers do.

he's a great drummer, but that was awful
