This guy is a mad scientist when it comes to drumming

Dennis never looks like he's working. Always makes it look easy.

This guy single handedly inspired a generation of gospel chops guys... Respect .

I am thankful for be part of the incredible Zildjian family. Thanks for the fantastic support.

Wow impressive!! Dennis Ch was one of my favorite players since the early 90' s , and my opinion hasn't changed . What a power house.

Easily one of the greatest drummers of our time. I think the thing I love about his playing the most is that I can't figure out a damn thing he's doing. Astounding stuff...

Too Busy? Not in the pocket? Sound issues? WHAT??? This is a technical master showing us POSSIBILITIES and what can be accomplished if you're in the best of the best league. From a technical drumming perspective, he is kickin' the crap out of this cool track, those beautiful Pearl Masterworks and those sweet Zildjian K's, while maintaining master speed control, sounding great and remaining within the tempo of the track. I grew up on playing less is more and in the pocket grooves, however, this application calls for just what this Demo objective is; "Marketing expensive K's with master talent and Showmanship". Dennis Chambers is one of the best master class drummers of all time!!! Anyone who sent negative comments is over critical... I highly doubt any of them could play close to how Dennis did here or on any of his gigs with legends, especially at his age of 58 years old. AMAZING technique from a MASTER ! If you want to see how it's done live, he's currently touring with Stern, Kennedy, Brecker Group! World class artists show not to miss......!!!

Certain man cannot comprehend groove well enough to appreciate this video.

Dennis Chambers is back.....in a big way!!! Lovin' it!!!

DENNNNNNISSSSS, the MAN, CHAMBERSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw DC at a drum clinic 25 yrs ago...he killed it then too. I left that day thinking "im a 4/4 jerk off'. Man, he hits his snare more in this song than i do in 2 gigs! Rock on DC!

Legendary...thanks Dennis and Zildjian!

I know it's Dennis thang but those hi hat combos sound so good not to have an offcial line set up for them. Who knew two mastersound bottoms would make such a crisp sound? Freaking love it, keep up the good work everyone! 🤝

Legendary.. This man helped start the style we all play and hear today!!! Enough said!!!!

Let's make such a sweeping indictment on Dennis' playing. Remember his body of work. I wasn't in love with the arraignment either but that's how Dennis on THISSSS song chose to express himself so CHILL!! Lol

This never gets old.

He'll always be one of my favorites!

OOPH! Great cymbal sounds! Those crashes! SSSSHHHHH! Love their interval too. So delicious!

Awesome! Love ya Dennis! Zildjian cymbals rock my world! DC

wow love this cymbals! and Dennis solo was next level!!

There was another video on youtube from a clinic he made even before he got sick with this same song, like five years ago i think, and he plays it the same way he does it on this video and for me it sounds brutal; i understand those cats saying that is not groovy but its just another type of playing and in some parts he shows a perfect working groove for the song but is just the way he decide to express himself on this and you only have to open your mind and triyng to see what this legend is making with this song and learn from him, he obiusly knows that is not his most groovy thing etc etc.. but that part of his style is what has made him a legend too, not only the groovy things; i think that what this video represents is that the power and style of Mr. Dennis Chambers is back!!! I'm very happy to see this :)

Thanks for the treat zildjian!!!

Fun fact: Dennis cannot read or write music. He just listens to the song, memorizes, and plays it. Another fun fact: he is from a planet far, far away. He playing is not of this Earth.

He’s sold me the product and he is the reason why I love k customs so much!

The carpets are great

oh Dennis!! only he can do it so special with his crazy grooves

Fantastic.

Master drummer at work!

Great to see him back and healthy!

everyone hating when his performance is actually incredible. would expect nothing more from zildjian fans honestly.

I do feel like the mixing was off a bit I could only really hear the snare😅

He influenced and help shape modern drumming as we know it. Appreciate his mastery. You don't have to like it. But we should all respect it

Anyone slamming Chambers performance pls post your video of your interpretation of this song lol you can't top him I guarantee it.

I love that snare 😍😍😍

Nothing spicier than this. the MAN himself, DC!

This is a video to showcase him and the cymbals, not a concert with a band at Blue Note. The context here is different. Think a little bit more before criticizing, folks.

Incredible

So good 🥁🙏🙌🏻

This is Dennis. He does what he wants.

Love this video but I could barely hear the crashes. He killed it, but who ever mixed it killed it too...🙁

Legend🔥🔥🔥🔥

I can not believe "too noisy, where is groove etc." comments. c'mon guys. this is the master Dennis Chambers himself. If you want him groovin' , go watch another video of him and learn sth about groove...do not get me wrong but you are just being naive with that type of comments. ....

Flawless

One of the greatest of all times!

Impressive drumming, but this sounds more like a demo for that snare drum than for those cymbals.

crazy drummer, you are the best,, big fan in Barzil

Great to see and hear that Dennis is back.... This particular presentation is a tad too busy for my taste, but Dennis is back, no doubt!

I like the 2 bottom cymbals on the hats sounds great.

Id love this chart😍

I feel like these cymbals need more publicity or something. A Customs are still wildly popular, why aren't there as many matching "K" counterparts?

drums sound really good....especially the snare

OG at work!

El capo máximo. Genial Chambers como siempre.

Wow!

Incredibile sound!👍

Nossa senhora! fã demais desse cara.

Bateria levada a sério. 👏👏👏

nice 👊✊👍👏👏 grande , Dennis maestro

Perfect

Paul Daluz, yep totally agree! You clearly have an understanding of your craft and appreciate others also. Unfortunately some other people don't.

Still the best drummer around. There are many other great drummers, but Dennis is simply the best

Mario cart level music: brought to you by Dennis Chambers

F**K IT! Zildjian should just ship out the 13.25"K Custom Hybrid with the two bottom cymbals like Dennis here has them configured. They sound so crisp and defind. Also can be played light. I wonder how they would do in a rock setting maybe thats where the 14.25" comes in. I bet that would sound amazing. 🤤

It's an artist spotlight, so it's really supposed to be somewhat of a solo, that's why it's busy. And its just the style of music, all the cuts are so clean and on time even though they're pretty fast, he's in the tightest possible pocket I'd say. Not to mention my favorite little drum lick at 0:22 that he kept repeating... so good

It's afro Cuban jazz. That is very busy music with many changes. Those of you who can't hear the "pocket" obviously do not listen to Latin music.

QUE MONSTRUO !!!!

l Daluz, yep totally agree! You clearly have an understanding of your craft and appreciate others also. Unfortunately some other people don't.

incrivel, esta ficando mais velho, e melhor a cada dia, é até dificil acompanhar olhando o video rsrsr

Master!!!

Awesome :-)

am i the only person that didnt care if its too busy that u just love the playing? lols

great snare solo

The top view down is the best angle, only one you need, best view of everything. I wish all drum videos were shot only that way.

fukN smoKN!!!!BADASS!

Grandioso, un tocco eccezionale!

The Master!!!!

Feels like one big solo, but it's alright because he's killing it!

holy shit that ending is insane!!

👍🥁👋🎸👍Super🥁

He loves that snare :)

Love the sound of the crispy 13 inch K custom hybrid hats... (perhaps because I own them too).. this exact sound is why I chose them.. Rest of the cymbals also sound awesome, but I lack the funds to purchase them at this moment.. I'm happy anyway :)

Always been a fan of D.C. Mainly for his snare drum tom work. The whole time I just wanted a hi hat snare groove to nod my head to, didn't get it here. There are plenty of videos for that though! :)

While I agree this is way too busy and not as tasteful as we're used to seeing from Mr. Chambers, you all have to realize that the man was sick for a while, and now that he's healthy again he's got a lust for life, and it shows in his playing. From what I've read, his peers all say he's as good as he's ever been, which you can obviously tell from the video. I'm just happy to see him healthy again and back in full form. Let him enjoy himself!

he killed it....more notes that i will ever play in my life....i wish he went for more an open sound, his drums always sound dry and compressed to me....but how you can not like him

Dennis Chambers referência pra nós bateras!

so basicly welcome to sonor drums as you can see we make the drums in a unique way just so you don't need cymbals anymore the drums will do it for you!

Then there's Dennis Chambers. He'll do whatever he wants, whenever he wants...even if it's throwing in everything AND the kitchen sink!

um am I supposed to go back to my set and play drums still after watching this cause I don't want to 😂

Queria ver esse Mestre tocar algum dia!

Saving the best for last at a pro level

Amazing Dennis Chambers ! Glad to see he's back Maybe the title of this song is a bit strange... " Do you think it's true with all K Custom cymbals" But that's cool

You know your kit, when you can play a song as complex and busy as that with your eyes closed the entire time! That's what it looked like to me, when they cut to the frontal footage of him. And it looks like he's using a combination of the Moeller technique and his own technique when he was teaching himself how to play drums. I noticed his left hand rolling over and an extension of the index finger like that in the Moeller when his right hand was on the other side of his kit. When he was on his hats his left hand seamed flat to slightly turned over to utilize his fingers for ghosting and a slight, ever so slight wrist movement to slap the hoop and head. I do that only I have about 6 or more inches of space between my hi-hats and my snare head. I honestly don't know how he's able to get such a fat sound out of that snare with such little movement of his left hand. Amazing! And I say a like...hybrid of the Moeller technique from watching JoJo Mayer's video on the subject; for both traditional grip and the modern day match grip. It truly is a fascinating technique if you take the time and dedicate yourself to perfecting it like JoJo has, and of course the inventor/creator of the technique.

A great snare demo😂

fantasztik amazon 😉😱😱😱

Where do I go for find more music like this?! Obviously only with drums as good as this.

MEEGAA ! WOWOWO AWSOME !

he's a machine

MY fav drummer is Dennis and Weckl

Give me that overhead view allllllll day.

Those Hi hats sound WAY to bright !!!
