he's definitely one of my favorite all time drummers first of all because he plays pearl and second because when he solos, he plays what people want to see and hear, fast, rhythmic, high energy drummin!
hahaha yes! I love to have my eyes closed when playing anything i dont know why buts its comfortable but even i have to open my eyes without thinkin about just to see where i am and get my bearings every once in a while. This guy really feels his kit i love it!
He kicks major ass, although, I wouldn't say he is one of my favorites. You cant deny how great this guy is but I prefer more of the steve smith aspects of drumming. But definitely tops off to mr chambers.
2:49 to + 10 seconds: anyone ales appreciate how friggin' amazing it is to play with those dynamics, that softly, AND with such speed? Unbelievable.
3:24 - 3:30: evidence that it's possible to have both incredible technique AND a boatload of groove. Nice!
2:17 - 2:21: WOW. Just... wow.
amazing, truly amazing.
pretty sure you could like cut off his body from his feet at the waist and feet would still keep the beat.
haha
this guy a legend
What makes Dennis such a great drummer is the way he can sit there and make the drums sing and sound musical. He's a great improviser and I've just always loved his style. It's his own and he doesn't go down the gospel chops route. He plays with passion and feel.
