[@tylermackey6495]

Can We get more of this? I love circus music

[@BjorgenEatinger]

How in the name of heaven do you remember all those different parts? It's like playing one massive long song.

[@ChazChambers]

Bjorgen Eatinger good question! All of it was written in the book!

[@Chgn-cj7xq]

What the closing song for circus xtreme I like it

[@ChazChambers]

The song is called "Finale" for the show, but you may refer more interest to the lyrics.

[@JMelby]

Sounds great, man! Gotta love pit life...

[@ChazChambers]

Thanks brother!

[@WrestlingUniversesOTC]

hi Chaz did you see the last elephant performance

[@ChazChambers]

Yes, I actually played the last elephant show!

[@bre0ns]

9:18 was the best part

[@guyajr]

Incredible !

[@ChazChambers]

Thank you!!!

[@guyajr]

I played in a band with a well known Nashville drummer for five years so I know what I'm talking about.@@ChazChambers

[@VickyDoll]

your an amazing drummer 😁

[@ChazChambers]

Thanks Victoria!

[@lmbdynamique]

Hi my name is MICHAEL BURLET I am French and I LOVE THE CIRCUS WITH ANIMALS. Can I have permission to use this musics for my next video ? Thank you !

[@josemanuel-hg6qn]

Hello is there a way u can record the full songs and if u can't it's totally okay

[@ChazChambers]

Unfortunately I do not have permission to record the full songs. Sorry Jose.

[@josemanuel-hg6qn]

It's okay

[@antonioflores762]

Mesmerizing. What king of drum heads were you using?

[@ChazChambers]

I believe I was using Remo Pinstripe clear on the toms, likely a coated Ambassador on the snare, and I don't remember on the kick. But It might have been the Remo Powerstroke. Usually all Remo. I typically prefer Remo coated for most of my playing, but the Circus called for punchier toms.

[@antonioflores762]

Thank you Sr. @@ChazChambers

[@chrissalazar7650]

May I ask why the China in the middle is on a type hi-hat stand (or so it looks like to me)

[@ChazChambers]

I used that for circus tricks. like an effects cymbal. It had a cool staccato and bright sound.

[@mikkovaltonen3564]

How was the audition process to this show, I know it's no longer in action but would be interesting to know. I'm studying drums & perc in college at the moment, and I thought to do something like this after I graduate, maybe Cirque du Soleil. And cruise ship gigs as well.

[@ChazChambers]

Hi Mikko, email me [e-mail]

[@r0psu674]

I`m very curious..How long takes practise the whole show?And how you did it?

[@ChazChambers]

@@r0psu674 I had about a 3 week hand over period from the drummer before me. Not too much practice on the drumming parts, it was more difficult to implement the SPDX into my playing and to do it properly.

[@r0psu674]

@@ChazChambers You doing a great job.No doubt..I also playing drums many years..thats why so curious:)First listens this gig sounds so complicated..for me:)

[@WrestlingUniversesOTC]

what are those things in your ears because i saw something in your ears

[@Jake34917]

Annoying Joseph almost every singer or band has those I think it's so they can hear all the other instruments and singer and they can hear theirs but you can hear the crowd a little like at a concert

[@ChazChambers]

What you see in my ears are my Westone custom in-ear monitors. They are molded to the inside of my ear, and they allow me to hear the entire band as well as protect my ears from the loudness of my drumset.

[@WrestlingUniversesOTC]

ok chaz cool!

[@noontimestudios6434]

16:34

[@bre0ns]

But what about that other Chris Galaviz guy he was a drummer too

[@ChazChambers]

Instagram King Chris was the drummer right before me. Great drummer and friend, he has a video from this show as well...

[@Drummer1981]

Do you have a roadie or are you on your own with setting up?

[@ChazChambers]

I had to set up my own drums, but the audio crew set up the drum booth and the microphones.

[@wjeast1]

Can I ask what the opening tune was I hear it all the time at sport events?

[@ChazChambers]

It was custom written for the circus. I am not sure it has any other name than "Opening"

[@ThatSceneKittyCatFemboy]

Hate saying it, but I think you played better than Chris.

[@baltimoredrummer1]

Names in vain appropriate here
