Dennis Chambers looks like he got up from this and went straight to grill some mean rib while cracking a cold one. Absolute dad style.

[@patrickdavid6525]

Hahaha!

[@ashimotoakai9599]

Reminds me of Robert "Beatdown" Brown

[@drumdog]

Dennis comes in with that shuffle pushing the 4 and Victor just holds it down like nothing happened! Both metric powerhouses 👏

[@brandonpryormusic]

Dennis’s metronome is his gum

[@jeffreyfoster4260]

😄

[@seitn]

true

[@DAVIDCARDWELL1]

I noticed that some time ago. 👍🏾

[@toddwalkerdrumstudio]

"Bazooka Dennis"...........!

[@banditY2K]

I wonder if he could still play without the gum??? lol

[@brandtlego]

One thing a lot of people don’t appreciate about Dennis is his ear and how quickly he can absorb a song and own it. Similar to Buddy, he can hear a very complex song one time and then play it like he’s been playing every night for 10 years. He’s a beast on so many levels...and a super nice guy. Glad he’s well...we almost lost him not too long ago!

[@kevinporter6426]

AMEN TO THAT. A very humble dude

[@QCRSK8]

He is in such control it's just ridiculous. Just effortless. Some people cant walk & chew gum. Every ghost note is so clean. He still the GOAT...

[@toddestone1]

Is Dennis ever challenged? He always looks like he's thinking of what to order for lunch.

[@krisbardin9831]

And chews gum at the same time!

Chewing gum in alternating 7/8 and 19/16 while playing in any time signature

[@christopherschmitt1306]

Everyone is saying this but do you all know many musicians did this???? Especially jazz. Jimi Hendrix always had gum in his mouth just a fact peace and love to all my soldiers brothers friends and musicians

[@jasonsams4258]

Two5two3 What do you mean anytime signature? Dennis is the time signature :)

[@toneyrockstv]

It’s just feel... no ones up there spewing mathematical equations.

[@axeman2638]

Victor Wooten's smile and the obvious delight he gets from just playing is so infectious and a real inspiration. This is what musicianship really means for mine. over 9000 thumbs up.

[@gustafsone]

My favorite musician of the current younger generation is Cory Wong. Not only is he one of the most versatile guitarists I've ever seen/heard play, he has the same happiness towards playing that we see in Victor all of the time. He will often visibly lose his mind when one of his band members does something crazy and unexpected. Lose his mind in a good way, though, not in a Buddy Rich way, lol.

[@CaptainOhWow95]

Yo the insane timing of that beat at 9:40 makes it one of the FILTHIEST drum beats ive ever heard!! Dennis is a wild man lol

[@DavisSchulz]

dennis is a beast!! so crazy, they are all beasts. love it!! so good

[@eemelin6660]

I love how Dennis is still old school in that he can pull from the jazz tradition in a way many younger monsters of the instrument just can't. He has the monster chops with a huge range of sound and dynamics.

[@reah7213]

Im pretty sure ive never heard dennis actually " swing" he can annihilate some latin rhythms, but definately have never actually ever heard him "swing" so....huh?(btw I dont count a 1/2 time shuffle as swinging, which dennis can beast. But still.)

[@Rangoslap8]

He is undisputed wide range champ.

[@Rangoslap8]

I heard him do Buddy Rich memorial concert.....with Neil Peart......music demonstrated there is a God in Heaven that likes drums...and they did swing Big band . Slow pitch under hand to a MLB player.

[@RocknJazzer]

No. I've no idea why you say that, and don't think you do either, dennis has very little jazz tradition or old school anything in him to pull from. Been listening to him since the mid 80s. He is and was of the new school 80s/90s fusion chops playing style, not old school trad jazz or even 70s stuff. He's great love him for what he does, but he has little to no 60s or 70s jazz in his playing, feel wise or technique wise...that is totally not what he is about and he doest pull from that at all. Younger players actually pull from that way more than him...so many gospel chops guys and berklee players pull from that, but not dennis. Like everyone, he will say yeah they love tony or buddy or elvin or roy or whoever, but that doesnt mean they can or do or want to play like them. Dennis made his name as new school 80s 90s technical funk fusion chops guy w sco, then others after. He is a modern player in that way, modern being 80s 90s chops. He is not hired to play bop, doesnt play that way. Sco picked him because he was not a typical jazz player, sco wanted some new school 80s funk for his fusion then, that is why he picked dennis. If sco hadnt, then we prob would not know dennis today, as sco gave him his break into the 80s jazz fusion community, dennis's playing comes mainly from funk and billy cobham. He said so himself in many interviews.

with the Buddy Rich Band. nothing too deep, but sounds pretty on it to me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKfYgJ-OhdCnftk

So happy to see Dennis back in top form. I know he was battling health issues for a few years there, but he looks back to his old self. The master.

[@rmoraespinto]

So great watching Dennis in good health and full form chewing his gum as usual!

I'm still trying to get walking and chewing. I tried to do that roll in the first section. Not allowed to practice without safety glasses anymore :(

Everytime that I watch Dennis Chambers play drums I am more and more impressed. I mean the way he finesse the sound out of his drums is nothing more that incredible. If I was going to play drums, I would study this man playing style inside and out. I really wish some of the so called "church drummers" would pay a lot so attention to his playing style! He plays and gets his message across WITHOUT tryin to kill the drums!!!
