Hey, let's not sugarcoat this one. No offense to Dennis, he is elite, and he said this was not his thang. But, that was NOT a great play. Either the guy that called it a "funk interpetation" is the same guy that gets excited about paint splashed on a canvas and says it's worth $1 million, or he figured it must be great because Dennis Chambers played it, ( or he just did not want to offend the guy. ) But, he would not be offended, because he IS great at what he does, and knew this was not his thing. Plus, I just really don't think he was motivated to play it. And that is HUGE for a drummer; especially when it comes to interpretive playing. I'd rather not sugarcoat it. I think that if he was excited to play it, you would have gotten a lot more engagement. You guys just destroyed this man's career! Because you wanted it to work out so bad that you were forced to call it a " funky interpretation", and then lied to the man and told him " No Dennis, REALLY, it was sooo good!" I'm kidding about that last part. You didn't destroy his career :-) But, I give it a 3 out of 10. He got excited at the end knowing it was going to end,, so he played a fill.. and his feet were on point ; in a creative way. * If he wanted to play it, he'd slay it

He may not like it, but he knows the pieces fit.

Danny Carey is a great drummer, but I definitely wouldn't call this an impossible difficulty song. It's not even on the ranking for more difficult things that Carey does, in my opinion. The instrumentals for this show the time signature changes for it fairly well. Are there a lot of them? Absolutely. Are they difficult to follow, I don't really think so. Dennis Chambers is great, though.

I saw Bill Bruford (King Crimson, Yes) in a drum clinic in 1993. He said he just plays to the song--the rhythms and melodies. He then proceeded to play his song Beelzebub, basically a song without time signatures. Blew my mind then. Now I get it. Dennis was doing a bit of it, but seems like he was focusing more on keeping on the time signatures.

"I'm quite sure it was wrong... But it felt great to me" is the absolute essence of drumming just for the vibes. You don't always have to be practiced and perfect in every situation, just enjoy yourself. Gotta respect that.

And then have a video of it toggling A:B back and forth to see the evolution.

It's different, but at the same time similar in ways that feel almost organically tied to the rest of the song. The song requires a certain attitude from the drummer (pretty much all Tool songs do, Danny is so integral to the end product), while he hit different beats, he captured the attitude almost completely.

I love hearing where his drumming lines up with what Dana did originally. Just shows that even with songs as complex as this, there are things that just universally make sense.

Experienced jazz fusion players, like Dennis Chambers are like the final bosses of music. Odd time signatures, metric modulations and polyrhythms are part of their everyday life.

"And I'm quite sure it was wrong, but it felt great to me." And that is the joy of music right there.

He is not in his comfort zone, he is none of the drummers in their comfort zones, tool music is not intellectual. It is just composing music on the table to make it in unrelated forms of time signatures and after that trying to memorize it like a down syndromed fellow. It is a pseudo-intellectual form of music, it is a music form that is beeing tried to be made to look like a complicated work. No one needs to make interpretations of meaningless bad time signatured music. If you wanna get out of your comfort zone, stop listening to '' wanna-be complicated '' prog bands and try to learn how to funk and jazz.

I rarely get goosebumps and chills on my spine for performances….this was one of them. Love Tool and Dennis chambers work also. This is man is a true prodigy and professional. Keep this series going!

He absolutely murdered it. Different but same. He definitely captured the feel of the original drum track.

With eyes closed. He was feeling it, maybe brought out his teenage age. That’s well done

It's so incredible how he knew this was so far away from his comfort zone but he still consistently put something together that just ...fit. lol. Like the feel, the dynamics, the transition awareness from a track without drums which was probably a bit spectrally distorted here and there from the processing. This blows my mind.

when he got the ending with the double bass he finally cracked a smile like he was proud of himself, that was sick.

Something that I didn't see in the comments, 1 day shy, Danny Carey is only 2 years shy of Dennis's birthday. Dennis is 64 and Danny is 62. They both had the same influences and went in two directions. This was an awesome performance and I would have loved to see Dennis's reaction to Danny's part and Danny's reaction to Dennis's. Beautiful.

I love this channel, and the people performing on it. The fact that he knew right away that this wasn't his style, yet went on to completely nail it, is amazing to me. That's pure talent right there. Unreal. Thanks for sharing.

Witnessing Mr Chambers effortlessly weave his style into a complicated track like Schism is pure joy. Perfect example of someone fluently speaking the language of music.

Man, Dennis is incredible. Tool is one of my favorite bands, and this is one of my favorite songs. For him to just improv on the fly, and make it a completely different song just by his drumming is so fantastic.

That was so much fun to watch his interpretation!!! Awesome!

The fact that he can just HEAR a Prog song and jump in with never even hearing the original part let alone the song before is just a testament to how skilled of a musician Dennis is. 10/10 amazing job.

Kind of. Not saying chambers isn’t everything he’s cracked up to be, because he obviously is. But he’s doing a little ‘trick’ to survive that I like to call ‘temping’ or, using his confidence in his rock solid rhythm, experience, and talent to lock into the TEMPO at such a level that he can sort of zone out and forget about counting and riff until he hears something he recognizes. This is NOT a knock. I’m not saying it’s easy trick, because it isn’t. Just that it’s essentially turns into doing something only a proficient, true drummer can do, reliably (or tastefully) - solos and fills over the bar line. Easier and way cooler sounding to do in 4, as something recognizable comes around to the ear much sooner than later to pull one back into finding the 1. But Chambers knows there’s little utility in even thinking about the number 4 at this point, and he also knows he’s good enough to put any number other than a strong 1 out of his mind and just keep going, just keep listening as he plays, just keep feeling that tempo and just GO. His honest and blunt reaction upon listening leads me to believe he’d fully agree with how I described it. There’s probably a different term for it that I forgot from music school lol, but I just always called it ‘temping’ because I noticed it before I really learned music, & never heard anyone else really talk about it (also got frustrated so many people DIDN’T recognize it, and heard something I likened to mere ‘survival’ as borderline supernatural - until I learned in music school that it’s actually not all that easy, however naturally it had come to me when I was younger. Kind of like perfect pitch singers realizing not everyone can keep tune like them and most work really really hard just to fall hideously short!). I also always likened it to a 2-strike approach in baseball, where the hitter chokes up on the bat, stops guessing which pitch might be coming next, sits on a fastball, and stays ready to foul off anything close to just simply SURVIVE…until he gets that fastball he can actually do something with.
