I had no idea he had been really sick. That explains his different shape. I hear he’s doing much better. He’s still a drumming powerhouse.

Hard to see him like this honestly, he’s my childhood hero.

Saw him in Minneapolis a couple years ago with Victor. He was sitting at the bar after the show and I could not bring myself to go up to him. Girlfriend couldn't understand why I could not muster the courage to meet him. He didn't look nearly this bad then. ☹️

To come back sounding like this after his illness is nothing short of amazing!! The first time I heard him, he scared the crap out of me with those monster grooves and his frighteningly fast singles around the kit!! He's making that set sing! God speed Mr. Chambers!

Dennis is still the man, he may look sick but his drumming is healthier than ever. God bless you tremendously Mr. Chambers

Out of this world! Blessings and healthy days ahead.

Hey Dennis. We have never met but we both belong to a era that they called old school. I hope you see this post. I am a 73 year old man. I played drums in my younger days and over the years I never got to play anymore after I went to Vietnam. I then went on to raise my family. Just 6 months ago, I got the urge to play again. We had different heads back than and note tuning was done by ear. Well, it has been aggravating for me to get the sound I want to feel like the old me. I copied your settings and am well pleased. Thank you for sharing my brother. Wishing you good health. Brother Orlando!!!

Had the pleasure of meeting Dennis he shared some videos for me to watch with him and Billy Cobham I will forever be greatful for the time I spent with him he is still a phenomenal drummer.

One of the greatest to ever pick up the sticks!

The legend himself, definitely solidified his place in the history of drumming

still playing like a demon. deep respect to you Dennis.

The master, saw DC clinic at the Irish center in Digbeth Birmingham I think it was around very late 90's. Will never forget it he totally annihilated his kit, totally blew me away. Love Dennis.

I've been witnessing Dennis since his days with parliament funkadelic in the 80s. I have to say that he still has the upper edge. He is an extraordinary all around drummer who can play anything extremely well. Unlike other drummers he colors the music in a flawless manner with lots of finesse that is very often unheard. He will make any musical situation sound great. He in my view was also the greatest drummer that ever played with parliament funkadelic hands down.

All flowers, much respect, the 1st drummer I paid attention to and aspire to play like.

Shows why Peart said he is the most complete Drummer alive today.

@@kingdavidike-elechi9707 This sounds awfully messy. Chambers is not as his peak. There are times here where im asking myself - what is happening? Just listen to the music, dude. Is it tight? No, its all over the place. He hits the accents and all that, but it just doesnt groove and when he turns the groove around the groove just dies. The mix doesnt help, but Chambers used to be a 100 times better than this. I love DC, but this is clearly not his best performance. Terrible mix too. IF they even tried to mix it.

We all love you Dennis Chambers

All you guys talking stupid trash about this music that does not sound good or he does not look good this is not what Dennis wants to hear from anyone regardless of how he looks the guy recorded this incredible track playing like a master drummer cheer the guy keep your negative comments to yourself show love and positive attitude he is a true legend

Extraordinary performance by a true master musician. Respect always!

Yeah, I forget how much of a constantly, complex playing machine this guy is! Out of all the great drummers of the world, of which there are so many, I've gotta prepare for a headache after watching Dennis. This guy displays complexity at the drums as some guy displaying SLEEP, taking a nap in a big, huge, comfy recliner!! Holy CRAP, man! 😂

Great to see him playing so amazingly!! (I know a lot of people are wondering... I believe that his protruding belly is the result of liver disease. Look after you liver folks, you can't live without it.)

One of my heros on drums and lifes!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Dennis Chambers inspired all the gospel cats of today. I've followed him since the 90s. It's so sad to see him how he looks now. Praying for you sir, for Gods blessing on your health.

@@jonathanmelendez23 there's no "god," my friend. Wake up and smell reality! Use more realistic words, than "god given talent!" Nothing is "god" given. We learn, associate, and gravitate towards whatever is naturally appealing to us, according to our surroundings and our up bringing. It's a desire that turns into passion and when we engage it, it becomes a form of natural expression, and (obviously) we get better at it. If Dennis (or ANYONE, for that matter) was brought up elsewhere or with different people and surroundings, drumming could have been something he had absolutely NO desire or interest in, therefore, wouldn't know how to play. Nobody is born with a talent! You develope interest, based on your surroundings and influences, you learn, and gravitate towards whatever and become "good" at it. Where's the talented, "powerful god," curing the suffering, dying children in all children's hospitals? And, even if there WERE such a character, this thing's a judgemental, jealous, angry, perverted, UNloving, WEAK-ass son of a bitch that should be tortured! Dude, wake up!

Dennis still has it all,speed,power,finesse,im inspired and learn something new Everytime I watch him.

I worked for PolyGram from 1988 to 1992 and I saw Dennis with John Scofield twice. Both times were at The Bottom Line in NYC. The first time was during the Loud Jazz tour and the second time when the band was touring to support the Pick Hits Live album. I also saw him last year in May 2019 at The Iridium in NYC w/ Moshulu (David Sancious, Jeff Berlin and Oz Noy). He looked fine and played brilliantly, so I was a little shocked to see this and the recent Zildjian Live video. He’s STILL a genius level powerhand I hope he gets better soon.

The Incomparable Mr. D. Chambers

Love that Dennis. We all do. He boldly goes where few have dared to try.

Glad to see him still at it!👍

Caught him with Santana at the Hollywood Bowl..end of tour and he was just wiped out. Still played great. No extended solo. One of my favs.

Crazy good! Mr Chambers is sooo deep in the pocket!

He's playing less than 40 seconds and the camera view has changed almost 20 times. Is that soothing to the eye?

Owwwww Denis 😍😍😍

Talento y mucho estudio... Master

He had a major throat problems with his esophagus , which required off and on multiple surgeries over two years and a bit... and many lengths of recovery. Roomer has it he almost lost his life at one point due to loss of blood. so scary !! God bless him.

Legend

Dennis's caliber of musicianship probably exists in only the upper 5% of all percussionists/drummers globally, so I would say that anyone who gives this performance a thumbs down probably takes a poop through their own ear holes,

immenso...

Aguante Dennis saludos desde Argentina

Met him several times years ago. He use to come into an ad agency I worked for years back to get passport photos taken. We talked drums. He wasn't a big fan of rock drummers. I use to have a signed poster...have no idea what I did with it. Very soft spoken guy...kinda quiet. He lived not too far from where I worked.

There are some great jazz drummers out there. There are some great rock drummers out there as well. Music is in the ear of the beholder. One man's garbage is another man's treasure...and so on. Dennis is an awesome player, I'll admit, but the music he's into doesn't appeal to me. Would love to see him apply his skills to some rock fusion, Jeff Beck style music, but he's found his niche and he does it well. There's a place for all talents...Dennis found his.

@@acesmitty6441 I'm not insulting rock drumming at all. I cut my teeth on it like most kids, and I've been playing for almost 50 years now. But as a lover, and student of all forms of rhythmic styles, I personally find the jazz fusion and latin styles to be quite challenging for me personally. It requires a level of Independence that I'm continually working hard to become somewhat proficient at. But yes, there are many great rock drummers especially in the metal and progressive styles that blow me away. We just lost one of the greatest the other day.
