That is one mean mullet. I can't even hear the drums.

He plays DIXON drums in Ringo’s All Starr Band these days.

Chambers never seems to work up a sweat or that he's putting the least effort into it. Just smooth a silk.....

Ok Louie...I hear you...

Bobby Shew lead trumpet. Blows me away!

i would put spot moon gel on snare...would be great to see loo play with slip knot...2 kicks wicked...

Eric Marienthal on alto sax? ❤

Mister Chambers !!!

….AND the fact that he plays BOTH traditional grip as well as matched grip. I would have loved for Buddy to try and tell Louie that “he was holding his sticks wrong.”

Holy shit.

Indurance and perfection of rhythm...top dog

La parte de los gritos no sé si era necesaria😂

One of the greatest of all times !!!!

Playing the melody on the drums. Sharing accents with the horns. That's Buddy's signature. Mr Smith did the research and the practice. Great job of emulating, sir.

You don't see a lot of overweight, out of shape, big band drummers..🙂

self-taught!

Bello/Magnifico.🙏✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️

Besides being one of the greatest drummers of all time, Maestro Bellson was the kindest man you could ever hope to meet. A legend in the truest sense of the word.

There's a man who loves what he does and does what he loves well!

Still have the VHS tape of this memorial concert, but no VHS player any longer. lol

A classic like this one certainly deserves to be in hd both sound and image !..... Good work and thanks

The drummers are great, but what about that bass player?!!! That dude is setting a pocket, too.

This was great, but nothing will ever top Weckyl, Gadd, And Vinnie.

Great drummer he is, even with the Billy Ray Cyrus inspired mullet, go Greg! ;-)

I love this guy! Total class act all the way. Burning 🔥 up the kit -- and all while wearing a tux. Hats off!

Fantastic! When Chambers plays it just all seems to come natural without even working up a sweat.

As I watched, in the beginning I said to myself "nothing new here that I haven't done back in my twenties and thirties - essentially one long snare drum roll at various speeds interrupted by occasional tom and cymbal attacks. Then at 4:16, we get into some serious cymbal work (that you don't see very often), and surprisingly, among this (if you are very attentive you will catch it) a small tribute to John Bonham from his Moby Dick solo. Also a nod to Zeppelin and Bonham's tom/bongo solo work in "Four Sticks" at 5:08 (did you get it - literally four sticks). A great drummer to be sure. But after thirty years of drumming, almost continuous snare rolls used as a solo make me yawn.

Out of all the Drummers in this Tribute, he fits the best!

Dennis Chambers great musician

Business in the front, party in the back...😂🥁😎

My very first album I ever bought was Explosion, I was 16 in 1975. Wore it out!! Got the cd thirty years ago and now I'm a old man. Where did those years go Louie??

I think Mr Bissonette did his musical homework. He quotes Buddy by occasionally exchanging the downbeat to upbeat emphasis, especially around cadences. He also dupes the sax section's sfz's and fp's on snare during their soli. Those were both very Buddy things. Nice tribute, Mr Bissonette. Thanks.

THE BUS TAPES!!!

One of the greatest of all time ON ALL FRONTS! The world needs MORE Louie Bellsons!

Bissonnette is so versatile and tasteful. His skill on the drumset is world class. And well, with all that he does in this performance, his sense of timing, his dynamics and his swing (after all, he's a jazz player and has played with the likes of Maynard Ferguson), his most impressive feat in this video, was balancing a cat on his head. Bravo!

That’s a lot of kick.

Dennis Chambers is BAD MAN....

The man, the mullet, the legend. And the mullet again.

uh...the metal years!!! hahahaha.

There one of two reactions to watching this vid: either rush to kit and start practicing or ... just give up 'cos I'll never be anything like as good as this !!!

awesome! is he playing a remo kit? i didn't know they made drums, only roto toms, & heads. sounds great.

THE BUS TAPES!!!!

A-mazing ❣👍🏆

magnifico he must ve been deaf as fuck playing that many years with no ear protection

Batteur extraordinaire, très rapide, très puissant, très technique, seulement là, il en met un peu trop ! d'accord, c'est son show, mais dans l'accompagnement, il charge énormément au détriment de la musicalité. Le kick est présent du début à la fin, sur chaque temps et trop fort. Ce n'est que mon avis, mais il a manqué d'un peu de finesse.

He is the reason I play. Been playing for the last 60 years. Been touring for the last 35 still am. Thank you Louie, love you man R.I.P. Ambassador Jenks

I met him many years ago Super nice guy. I’m just amazed at his playing for any age, but he’s older here and doesn’t even break a sweat. Inspiring is all I can say. What a talent.

Could you imagine if Buddy used a double bass kit?

Best forever
