Dennis is truly the master of precisions.

[@mrd3968]

The sickest thing he is doing is the musicality he adds with his foot control. Absolutely insane!

[@ps91worshipdrumsrr]

Love how he effortlessly switches grips.So much finesse and control...

[@k.fdrums]

An incredible drummer with a wonderful Pearl Masterworks kit. Perfect Combo!

[@PearlDrumsUS]

Dennis Chambers with the Masterworks Series... buff.ly/1vhGrGv

[@maisonguidry]

That prototype K ride is beautiful

[@gb4477]

Mind-blowing!

[@ferdinandwang1165]

IN 2007, when Jason Bonham was asked, 'If you were unable to perform with Led Zeppelin at the O2, which drummer would you recommend?' He said, 'If I wanted to see Led Zeppelin, it would preferrably be a drummer with a swing feel. And - you know what - Dennis Chambers. I think he would get it, where a regular rock drummer wouldn't.'

[@gringochucha]

Dennis is the boss.

+Pearl Drums But Dennis Chambers is awesome

[@stephenvaldez8097]

hey guys what is his snare size? he always has a nice poppy, cracky snare

[@lincolncross6355]

In addition to being a fantastic drummer, he is one of the nicest guys around. The few times I’ve been in his presence, he was always so cordial and humble. What a gift to our drumming world Mr. Chambers is♥️

[@ananlama1]

Dennis back to original shape ..............i think and hope he is fit

[@steffenbrix]

The complex, dynamic, unique, musical way of shaping everything is absolutely FANTASTIC. I LOVE Dennis!! My all time favourite. And this Leni Stern tune is just amazing. From one her best albums ever ❤

[@loadofcrap1]

I’ve just been on 5 date tour with Dennis as his drum tech. I enjoyed every performance, his power, groove and original interpretations of the tunes. Not to forget a great and humble guy. Thanks Dennis I wont forget this.

[@giovanideparma3500]

My favorite drummer

[@kallewille]

I know Dennis Chambers is a great player; if anyone were to ask me what I thought about him, I'd only say great things. But seeing this is like learning it all over again. What tasty playing! The touch on the cymbals is extraordinary. Thanks for sharing!

[@osanan]

When was the video recorded? If it's a new recording, I'm happy to see that Dennis is well. :) Nice video, by the way.

[@DavePainkiller]

Beautiful sounding kit, love Dennis' work on the kit.

[@leovigiloesparza7412]

Impresionantes tanto los instrumentos como el maestro Denis Chambers. Gracias Pearl por hacer esto posible. La música también es hermosa, y el maestro Chambers nos demuestra como hacer música. También gracias a Evans y a Zildjian.

[@funklover24]

Dennis - one of the monsters. Does anybody know who is playing the other instruments?

[@misterfunnybones]

+funklover24 The album features Leni Stern - guitar, Bob Malach - sax, Russel Ferrante - keys, Alain Caron - bass, DC - drums, Didier Lockwood - violin

[@nitaicohen783]

[@jeffsullivan1433]

What kind of K ride cymbal is that? Incredible all day ! True Master

[@marky482]

this was really one of the best performances ive seen so far!

[@PearlDrumsUS]

[@derricktrahan3645]

NOBODY CAN DO WHAT THIS MAN DOES !!! He's the Greatest of ALL Times !!!

[@b-sideplank]

Can anyone explain why he switches from traditional to match and vice versa? My understanding is that this has no particular purpose and its done just as a habit. Because you can play powerfully with a traditional grip and softly with matched grip and its certainly not an issue for him. What a giant of a player!!

[@cayamadrums]

I personally think it has to do with ergonomics.. He does it every time he does those triplets in the hi hat and snare, which helps to play more comfortable and also it affect the sound , because the muscle memory let's you control different your out come sound.

[@rocklandmusic]

Jazz players use traditional for the subtle light touch you can get cuz the weight of the stick is diminished being that your hand is underneath the stick while in matched grip its only your fingers that are underneath the stick...plus it's just fun to work on your weaker hand giving it double the responsibility...plus being a fan of drum history...that's how these guys back in the day played before a drum kit exsisted...it's a feeling thing mostly and its all about just being a versatile drummer in the end

[@thebeatsmith6594]

I ask him the same thing a few years back cause I tend to do the same....he told me that it happens when he know he about to make a fill and needs the power of matched grip....I do it because I seem to hit the rims a lot with traditional grip because of my high setup.....

[@b-sideplank]

TheBeatSmith Wow! Great information. Thanks.

[@familytreemusic]

Saqib Saqib i guess it's a matter of language: be-bop or swing licks call for traditional grip for most players

[@damianquadro]

Dennis is to me one of the true greatest of all time...his pocket is the best!!!! Has anyone got an idea of what ride cymbal he´s using? Thanks!

[@bateristapedro6215]

Damian Quadro facts

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

Damian Quadro Looks like a BIG "K custom" brilliant finish and it appears to be a 22", also, based on the sound and genre it's on the heavier side...

[@masecardrums]

That's a 22" K Custom Medium Ride

[@starbeardiesyoung]

I have to admit I lost a bit track of Dennis Chambers, but this performance was absolutely great.

[@davidmichaelsen9805]

Love Dennis playing

[@MattDeloff_Online]

He is amazing. Man I ant a kit like that. I play Pearl but I wanna upgrade to a Reference or Masters so bad.

[@metothemoon1227]

Sweet mother of pearls!!! 2:48 to 3:00 !!!!!!!!

[@eeliabe]

Woww!!! incleadible... Chambers ia a legend! Nice ride cymbal sound

[@Aaron_Gentry]

Dennis is totally a badass

[@supadisseur4713]

Is that double or paradidile he plays on the high hat and the cymbal ?

[@747jpdrummer]

The most melodic drummer of all time!

[@PearlDrumsUS]

[@grooveskin]

Flawless

[@JFARRELLinc]

Is that rack a shortened version of the curved Icon rack? Anyone know how to get one like this?

[@PearlDrumsUS]

This was before we had various rack bar sizes and you can find the current ones at pearldrum.com/products/hardware/drum-rack-accessories

[@geno121]

By golly-what a smooth, smooth cat.

[@Max333A]

Amazing performance!

[@metothemoon1227]

Eargasm!

[@metothemoon1227]

Eargasm!

[@megyalilaballad]

Excellent. His musical choice of cymbals is spectacular. What colour code is “Black Diamond”? I plan to custom order a set in the future but cannot find more examples of this finish anywhere online.

[@funkslave9425]

Monster!

[@rugby07champs]

what ride is that?

[@PeartDisicple481]

What’s snare drum you like the best the 14 x 5 or 14 x 6

[@Groovix2020]

Which Hi-hats cymbals is he using in this video please

[@WhenFloodComes]

1:18 wtf!!!

[@74choppzilla]

that is one of his trademarks.he does similar things like that between his snare and ride too :)

[@NickRusDrum]

FOOT CAMERA...........??????????????????????????????????????

[@legosecologicos]

esse dennis toca demais é um dos melhores batera do mundo na minha opinião

[@japaobatera4476]

Dennis chambers incono da batera sou fã desse batera.

[@tagusan8999]

I've always been curious about what ride Dennis uses. It has such an interesting finish with brilliant at the bottom and traditional on top.

[@ohrid59mk76]

I have a Zildjian K custom medium ride , brilliant at the bottom , traditional on top !

[@isdaisdadaisdais]

What cymbals is Dennis using in this video?

[@BBT609]

Zildjians Mainly The A Zlidjian series. The ride is a KCustom Brilliant Ride. Hi Hats are 13" Mastersound.

[@drummaman1]

isdaisdadaisdais here's what I THINK he is using: 13" A Mastersound Hats ( both cymbals are "bottoms"), A series thin crashes 16", 18", & 17" from left to right on his kit, 22" K Custom Medium Ride, 20" Oriental crash of doom (he designed that cymbal with Zildjian)

[@chazerstream2496]

What song is this I love it

[@kessiodrums]

Legend 😍🔥🥁

[@voldmerot]

Very nice playing.

[@Laurenttahiti1]

Rien à dire, Dennis you are the King!!!

[@josejodar85]

[@denneilchambers2897]

[@gorkembir7977]

[@jpabloh13]

[@WGund]

Perfect!!!

[@p.p.1708]

😍😍😍

[@p.p.1708]

😍

[@peeblesdaniel]

Pearl, anyone, is there an MP3 to this performance?

[@misterfunnybones]

+Daniel Peebles Artist: Leni Stern | Title: Bubbles | Album: Like One. I recommend the full album.

[@malocchio4264]

+Daniel Peebles yes. There is.

[@aarthoor]

So what is different with those shells that makes them Masterworks? They look like Reference drums to me.

[@PearlDrumsUS]

You'll find that the shell composition recipes at the end of the video which will help show how this kit is different from a standard Reference Series kit.

[@drummer9990]

Masterworks are also custom drums.

[@aarthoor]

Ah yes, I see they are a bit different. I would be interested to see more successful options on videos like these. It's nice to be able to have such a say in your drums but possibly easy to make a mistake, do Pearl offer advice on this or maybe info on what has been successfully tried?

[@PearlDrumsUS]

aarthoor The Reference Series was the springboard from what we learned from the Masterworks Series. Take a look at the shell recipe used for the Reference Series and the wood descriptions on the Masterworks page at our website for more information.

[@jonn443]

😲

[@rosenilsonjunior9234]

mestre da independencia

[@drJacoby90]

What song is this?

[@rudolfspijkerman2510]

Bubbles from Leni Stern , Album is called Like One,, great music!!!

[@saydiecrofilde5364]

what's the title of the song?i wish to see a live band with him on drums.

[@sasha_prisyazhnyy]

John Scofield played with Dennis on a few records. There are some videos on KZbin from Dennis' instructional DVDs "Serious Moves" and "In The Pocket". But the music is different from what you hear there. Also there is an outstanding video of him playing on Return Of Brecker Brothers. It is also worth seeing definetely.

[@saydiecrofilde5364]

Alexander Prisiazhny thank you so much for the info dear!will definitely watch all of what you said :) can't wait to hear more music from these kind of musicians :D

[@sasha_prisyazhnyy]

No problem! Hope you'll have a good time by listening to these records!:) This song, by the way, is called Bubbles by Leni Stern from her Like One (1993) album.

[@saydiecrofilde5364]

+Alexander Prisazhny i just watched this again and saw your reply lol.thanks dear!:)

[@sasha_prisyazhnyy]

No problem!:)

[@chrispeterson73]

I love the look of the batter heads but not thrilled with the sound. I'm guessing those are the Evans black chrome?? Not enough highs or "attack" for me. Too bad Remo doesn't make a black chrome Ambassador. :(

[@drummaman1]

Chris Peterson the way you get the "black chrome" look is the clear ply over the ebony ply. The only way to do it in ambassador thickness is to have two super thin plies, that I don't think are even possible to make.

[@blakedmc1989HD]

those are Evans G2 clear! i love tha sound of them! those are my prefered heads

[@roybeckerman9253]

Would like to hear him play a 4 piece kit, to compare him to the old jazz greats, like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. Like for like.

[@PearlDrumsUS]

[@fartsare2023]

I'm a dyed in the whool metal drummer amd always will be. But this guy always impresses me and its a joy to watch and hear him.
