Chad is an inspirational musician and composer. His playing has so many attributes that applies to all the leaders in music, movies, art, literature: drama, tension, intrigue, narrative, surprise… and his flow on the instrument is like mercury. Oh man, those cup chimes, they SING! I could listen to him all day. I often do.

The one thing of Chad’s that I covet more than his playing is his access to the fountain of youth. The man hasn’t aged a day in 30 years!

I had the somewhat incredible luck of seeing Chad Wackerman with Allan Holdsworth. It was in Gävle, Sweden somewhere in the 90s. Clarion Hotel Winn and their restaurant. It doesn't get much more intimate than that. Allan was as good as he could be, but Chad was the talk of the town after the gig. Sometimes life is weird, but fun.

One of my all time favorite drummers!!!

Man his drum set is amazing and Chads playing is brilliant as ever,nice work everyone!! Nice to see you using the massive drum kit!

Awesome sauce!!!

What technique and flow. Wackerman is a beast. BTW, is that a Bitch's Brew tshirt the guitar player is wearing?

MESTRE

Damn, i love how his drums are tuned. What tuning do you guys think he used?

young chad looks a lot like Brooks

great drumming. what size sticks?

Clicked on this video for the cup chimes, not gonna lie.... CW did not disappoint. Wish the tom sound was better though...too much attack from those clear heads.

I didn't know George Lucas plays the guitar!
