Dennis Chambers films Terry Bozzio playing on his kit (DC Archive)

[@nixneato]

I'll make my usual Bozzio comment : I was lucky enough to meet him in Belgium 25 years ago after a clinic with Virgil Donati, I have never met such a class act, I never forgot how nice he was, and how he took the time to talk to me, and called me by name when we said goodbye. The man is a pure legend.

[@prod_adrian]

Donati and Bozzio at the same clinic? Or was he actually just coming through? Both are like the elite elite

[@nixneato]

@@prod_adrian Yup. And they were joined for the occasion by Belgian drumming sensation Stéphane Galland. Lots of talent on that stage that night.

[@prod_adrian]

@@nixneato Wow. Thats one killer clinic set list then!

[@dallasstiles118]

Dennis is a class act too obviously, two gentlemen who love their craft too.

[@geoffreymeuli1457]

I was there. Great moment.

[@violentmorgan]

Just loved hearing Dennis cackling in childlike wonder and amazement..!

[@rickshearer]

🥁One of my all time favorite drummers, Terry. I'll never forget watching in awe when he (in his band U.K.) opening for Jethro Tull in 1979!!!

[@RMGCBG]

Good enough for Zappa, good enough for the entire planet

[@louiscarrillo5873]

so. i found myself mezmerized by Terrys playing. i could listen to this all day. and will. its just plain beautiful once the tones and orchestrations get in the air. very thematic and melodic. love it!

[@riccardomusiu510]

Woow!!! The Best of The Best!! Dennis & Terry... AMAZING!!!! 👍

[@fess04]

He has so much integrity in his plsying and a playful sound. it draws you in and is completely satisfying to listen to and feel . Terry is mighty here man. mezmerizing . really great .

[@PUBHEAD1]

Some people give Terry a hard time for having such a huge kit with so many drums but I dont think it any different than a guitar player have all the effects pedals and delays in their rack or a keyboard player having multiple keyboard with access to thousands of sounds. No one seems to to give them a hard time. The difference here is that terry is using the actual accoustic instruments to add to the sound palette

[@voronOsphere]

Terry Bozzio has influence me since I was in the 6th grade!!!!!! Thanks, Drum Channel!!!! And thank you, Terry!!!!!

[@rhythmfield]

Terry is a genius - he plays real music and composition on this incredible instrument - I view it as one single instrument, not a random collection of sounds. And the tunings are wild - it’s an orchestra, he’s created a musical world, and he’s been working on this concept for a very long time now. Long live the GREAT Terry BOZZIO.

[@lincolnadams83]

The melodies that Terry is playing is an eye opener and reminds me of Bruford with his electric kit and Earthworks. I have a new appreciation of Terry now!

[@abcdefuuu]

It’s amazing how much he’s able to achieve with such a tiny drum kit.

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Two Masters !

[@andrewjacobs5579]

Staff I'd like you to welcome Terry to the team! Also note we no longer have a lunch room

[@JiTiAr35]

Dennis and Terry : 😁 and 😁 Terry's drum tech : 😢

[@susrev88]

*terry's 3 (three) drum techs

[@jceedrummer]

Terry is taking the drums into uncharted… but extremely important, waters. Amen 🙏🏼

[@gadymarcus5297]

Wow phenomenal sound.

[@Rockin_Ross]

This is one of the few videos where I’ve seen Terry compose something on that kit.

[@MilanSavicDrums]

So good hearing Drum Gods nerd out about gear 😄

[@Krustoffalone]

I would have so much fun on this kit!

[@mcfly3510]

You know...just... Even in this improvised parts you can hear of the bigger picture that is in Terrys head

[@RandyHanley]

Such a great video! thanks for sharing.

[@thedrumheroeschannel7418]

Great friendship and respect to each other 👏👍🏻

[@darkdancer72]

What a great concept!

Now that's a DRUMMER !!😁👍🏻

[@tinderbox218]

It's like a drum grand piano Imagine being his drum tech on a tour 😳

[@alexr4151]

If he takes this kit on tour, I hope to God he takes multiple techs with him!

[@sticktrik]

Alex R No! Just Terry and another tech! They set up all that monster setup,themselves!!!!

[@Vitor.Portugal]

Increasing sound sources, increasing possibilities!...

[@Kzrak]

Terry is an OG

[@emlix1]

Terry's tech must be the best paid in the business. If not, he should be. Imagine tuning all those?!?! It takes me half a day to tune my 6pc Tama Superstar Hyperdrive.

[@zombywoof1015]

Anyone but TB would need a map to figure out how to get behind that monster kit.

[@trafalgerdavis7839]

that kit is easily in the small mortgage range of insanity prices.

[@michaelsage74]

That’s easily 200K worth of gear right there.

[@andybaldman]

The video title makes it sound like this would be Bozzio playing on Chambers’ kit.

[@jplimabaterista4653]

Thank's DC Chanel

[@JorisvandenBergNunchaku]

Does anyone know the solo / piece that he plays at 3.50?

[@johnwilmer2551]

He should do the next Bond soundtrack

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

Terry using REASON !? What !? Also the kit is MAD ! ! !

[@drumgk]

Terry’s opening part reminds me of Neil Pearts opening part to show me don’t tell me by Rush.

[@aakkoin]

Maybe the toms are tuned to specific pitches, but his melodies always sound quite random.

[@geralddrums]

Das ist wirklich ein super mega XXL drum kit, größer als mein XXL Drumkit. Kann man bei Interesse auf meiner Homepage ansehen!

[@DavidLee-wj9sp]

I met both at Jimmy D's clinics.

[@BigSwoleMusick]

So this is how they got the sounds for the game DR. MARIO, 😎

[@carolinedukekeen7833]

It would be cool to sit and improvise on a drumset so seemingly limitless in order to determine an optimal number of sounds for "a more pragmatic" ear.

[@papalazzzaru]

"Anyone seen my tuning key...?"

[@Scratchyjackscratch]

Cool !!

[@perefectflow]

Dennis had to go around the block to get a behind the kit view LOL

[@drums4metal]

His kit is like a honeycomb

This looks like the perfect time to bust out some yyz or Tom Sawyer

[@Ojb_1959]

I’m told this kit came with 50 cowbells. 😆

[@tonewall1]

like watching Buddha play the drums.....amazing.

[@russellparratt9859]

What does it look like when you cross a drum kit with a typewriter?

[@SuperQdaddy]

Wanted to Dennis mess with that set..lol

[@Jcurtisjr1506]

You need to get Thomas Lang behind that kit. Now that would be interesting. Haha

[@papo1515]

That is the Frankenstein of drum kits, I think it's hideous and impractical, I tried listening to one of Terry's performances and couldn't get pass a minute and a half, reminds me a kid playing with his mother's pots and pans.

[@Jcurtisjr1506]

@@papo1515 I hear you dude my thoughts exactly.

[@edwardglenn9310]

Sounds like a whole tribe drumming but just 1 man.

[@flashingarrows]

He could open up his own drum shop and just sell his kit,

I know that Terry is mostly playing some pretty intricate stuff here, but I feel I could get on that kit and make the same noises.

Are you really saying you could play like Bozzio?

nuts

A blind person could play that kit. You can’t miss.

[@iternityhuman1782]

Sounds like African drum music!

The whitest thing and the blackest thing. Sorry, I'm with Dennis.

[@CutandShoot5x5]

Neil Peart on steroids!!!!

[@brandtstone2791]

I’m sorry I just think that set is ridiculous. When Terry plays on a normal kit he’s just fine,but it seems like he’s lost and playing just random stuff that makes no sense.

[@rsmith7994]

👏👏👏 Sometimes, just because you CAN do something, that doesn’t necessarily mean you SHOULD. IMHO.

[@jamesfitzgerald1840]

@@rsmith7994 Agree, I just don't get it. I don't hear any cohesiveness. Sounds like a young kid who has no idea what he's doing.

@@FootmasterSeattle 1. No one downvoted anything. 2. The presumptuousnes of your imputing simple-mindedness to those whose opinions differ from your own merely highlights your own ignorance. 3. FYI, I have never been a fan of either Ringo or Lars.
