[@tshtonahomas]

Yes sir! Throwback track. Dennis Chambers & Tony Royster Intro

[@caliyork07]

Man, this guy has put in some serious TIME to get this good. And he's ambidextrous, which opens up all kinds of fill avenues to go down. Plus that hat is dope. 10/10 would watch again.

[@Niloy63]

DYNAMICS!!!! This dude has a badass groove!

[@nameloss]

wow this guy is STUPID good!!!!!! how am i only hearing of him now!????

[@rorymeader7979]

Believe it or not he is my drumming teacher

[@L1AML0V3SDRUMS]

I was lucky enough to meet Dexter earlier this year, really nice guy.

[@goncalomartinsdrums]

This guy is amazing! The musicality, the approach, the taste... fenomenal!

[@BlackSpiracyNews]

Dope!!! I remember that song from Tony Royster's drum video. What a throwback!!!

[@ColinWhite1]

[@theHumanBryno]

[@wdrumz]

Fricken sick.. There is nothing more appealing to the ears and eyes than a drummer who has full control of their dynamics, groove, and pocket imo. Damn dude... Just wow. May I touch your hat kind sir? Maybe it's powers will rub off on me haha.

[@imacashew.]

Are those pencils condenser mics on the toms? Does anyone know? Thanks ✌🏻

[@BorgoDrums]

They look an awful lot like Line CM3's!

[@crusharush]

Look a bit more like sennheiser e614's to me, but I'm not entirely sure

[@dwaynegrampsparkinson1177]

What's the name of the track ?I remembered it too from Tony earlier videos .

[@jxshbrxwn23]

[@m00py1]

Like butter

[@ernestlmorellsr]

...Heard T.R Jr. did this number some 20yrs ago

[@WillsMusicRoom]

Great Performance but a shame the name Bob Gatzen is nowhere to be found !! Give credit where credit is do; it's his song ! Bob Gatzen, Bob Gatzen, Bob Gatzen - one of the greatest minds of our time !!

[@brice3513]

Remember the name of the song? I'd really like to see Gatzen's Version.

[@WillsMusicRoom]

Sorry, I guess I left that part out !! The song is titled "Intro" but not sure you will find a version with Bob Gatzen performing it. It was featured at the beginning of "Common Ground" which is the Vid featuring Dennis Chambers & Tony Royster also Billy Cobham.

[@xXEvangelXx]

That's a very nice hat. I wish I could afford a hat like that. But I can't. I don't have the chops to get paid. Good on Dexster on having the chops to have a hat like that. This is funky. Oooh! Groovn'! Yummy ride ostinato! The returning fill motif! Fucking take me home tonight! FUCK ME SIDEWAYS

[@jsk8654]

At the beginning he reminded me of Harvey Mason

[@stefanoricchiuti3726]

Thomas Pridgen brother? same groove, same sticking... :D

[@billiondollarmindset3057]

Please anyone who has a link or knows how to get the track should help me out?

[@Niels_Mortensen]

[@David-kd5mf]

Drumming is great but what is up with the synthetic nonsense he is playing to?
