This is Dennis revealing “Chops Galore Inc” including speed, time sig precision, creativity, etc. Reminds me of way back in the day when Dennis played with Skylab at a local Baltimore club (when off the road). Skylab had Tony Bunn (bass), Jake Shepard (guitar) Paul Saroka (keys & lyricon) - and the musician would all leave the stage and give Dennis 15-25 min. Thanks to whomever for posting this!! 🙏🏾👍🏾🔥❤️

I've learned more about music from watching & listening to Dennis than I think I have from any other source, & I'm a guitar player. Back in the 1990s a drummer that I played with watched Dennis' instructional vids nonstop, & the entire band listened to P-Funk Allstars Live at Beverly Theater CD. Anyway, my drummer had heard that Dennis gave private lessons somewhere around Baltimore. Well, I'm from the Eastern Shore & was running crabs up there several times a week so I went through every phone book up there until I found it. I booked a private lesson (I can't remember the price), but I told my drummer we were going up to Chuck Levins & right before the Bay Bridge I told him what was really happening. He about crapped himself. So we get there, here comes Dennis around the corner & I about crapped myself too lol. BUT... the people at the drum store said only one person could back because it was a very small room & there were 2 kits. I explained that I had paid, & that I'd stand in the corner, but if only one of us could go back that it was going to be me, & I didn't even play drums. Well Dennis gave me this look over top his glasses like, "boy shit," & told me to grab a stool but my legs would have to straddle his hi-hat. I saw everything, hands & feet - including him doing one-footed bass triplets. I've seen Dennis quite a few times since, but that experience changed my life.
