Zildjian LIVE! - Dennis Chambers 

OMG I FELT LIKE THIS DAY WOULD NOT GET HERE SOON ENOUGH.... Dennis Chambers is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. He is my all time favorite drummer and I would never be the musician i am with out him being who he is. So dope to see him killing it here. I hope and pray he is around many more years inspiring the world of drumming. AMAZING PERFORMANCE FROM THE LEGEND.

Oh, my God, ...... Dennis Chambers as he called Gergő Borlai at the end, ..... (I'm Hungarian and it's such a moment that they'll know for the last time in Hungary and a lot of people don't even understand and feel this moment its significance and greatness ... unfortunately, but I am very, very proud now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Thank you Dennis Chambers!!!!!!!!, Thank you Gergő Borlai, best regards: Tamás Kovács

It is inconceivable to me that anyone would give this a thumbs down . You are heartless man . Dennis isn't hiding the fact that his health not what it once was. He went up there with coursge , dignity., and honor ! He doesn't have to go up there and over excert himself to prove anything. Dennis is one of the most influential drummers / musicians - in the history of music. He has influenced drummers / musicians from every genre of music : Rock , heavy metal , jazz , RnB , Fusion Funk , hip hop , Neo soul , latin , latin jazz , Acid jazz , Big band , Gospel , drum n bass .... The list is endless. Dennis is one the of the most sought after drunmers in history for sessions and tours. He has held the drum seat for some of the greatest musical artists in history - from Steely Dan - to Santana. And want to know why he got all of these great opportunities ? Because of what we witnessed : A very nice person who doesn't take himself too seriously , great sense of humor , and down to earth . I want to share this with everyone who may read this : Once , I ran out of money here in New York . I had no money for food , or anything man... I had only known Dennis for a few months and was embarrassed to call him , but I had no one else to turn to. So , I swallowed my pride and gave him a call . I told him I was in a bad way up here , and asked him if he could spot me some bread until I got right $ Dennis didn't even hesitate man , he simply asked me how much I needed , then asked me how soon did I need it He told me : " You will get it tommorow morning at 9:00 am . At exactly 9:00 am my doorbell rang , and when I opened it , Fed Ex was standing there with an overnight priority mail for me ! He never asked me to pay him back , he just wanted to know if I was ok I made it my mission to make sure I paid him back every cent . I remember when Dennis was at the peak of career he shared with me : " When I look out into the audience and see people bring out their kids to see me , I am overwhelmed with gratitude ; that out of all of the good musicians back in Baltimore , I was the one blessed to get here man ." He never turned anyone away who came backstage to see him after a gig. This is why you see such reverence before , during , and after the video ,.we LOVE Dennis man ... He's always looked out for other cats and supported the younger generation of drummers coming up ; look at how emotional it got ; look at Ronald Brunner and others with tears in their eyes ... We witnessed true greatness today guys , one of the baddest cats to ever sit behind a kit : And one of the nicest people to ever do it. Long live Dennis We love you man . Your legacy will live on foreverr. Tom Maynard , New York NY

Every kid wanted to play basketball like Michael Jordan, the same goes for every kid that wanted to play drums like Dennis Chambers. True legend.

Dennis is truly a GOD FATHER at drumming and his playing shows that , God Bless Dennis Chambers.

Dennis Chambers is truly a legend and a grand master at his craft. ✨️

I've been watching Dennis since 1986. Seen him in so many contexts. At his physical peak he was frightening. This was Dennis on a whole other level. The fluidity. Like water. Nothing to prove. Speaking of life on the drums. Painting rhythm and sound. Perfect time as always but off the grid. The Master reminding us to be grateful, to serve the music, and to look out for each other.

If I can be honest with everyone. I literally cried the entire video. He’s been my very first stamp into music since I was a small little kid. Makes me realize how fast time flies. So much respect for his career 🙏🏽

THE KING IS HERE !

I almost cried seeing Dennis still doing what he loves and still jamming... Thanks for bringing these great drummers into the same space #Zildjian Dennis GOAT

OHHH Dennis Chambers word Class drummer!! God bless u!!!!!!

Seriously one of the coolest guys ever. Saw him and Wooten front row and Dennis brought the band back for an encore just for my daughter Marina! Was also at this event and it was surreal seeing this man at work after all these years. Major props to everyone involved!

How many years have passed .. I saw him twice live in concert in Europe with Mike Stern many years ago (not counting how many records with him I have listened to). I've always loved his playing. Great memories. I saw him in this video after a long time and I understand immediately that he had health problems .. I informed myself immediately.. a liver transplant which luckily he managed to have. Dennis, I wish you all the best!

I teared up watching this 😭

I LOVE DENNIS CHAMBERS AND I ALSO KNOW THAT IN THIS WE CALL LIFE THINGS WILL HAPPEN BUT TO WATCH THIS IS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO SEE HIM LIKE THIS SO I HAVE TO EXIT IT,S TOO MUCH I,M OVERCOME WITH EMOTION.

Gergo became the equivalent of a Made Man in drummer terms by the DrumGod Chambers, that was an official unofficial torch passing/blessing by one of the GOATS, I WOULD'VE BEEN IN TEARS BRO💯💯💯💯

I love the audience's reaction at 4:56 to the bass solo.

I'll never forget meeting Dennis at a drum clinic in VA. What a cool and humble Brother!

Send ten kisses to the ten fingers of the legend's beloved hand over time from a simple amateur who knows the value of this magnificent man.🙏💓You're my pride and that of the whole world.💓🙏 .Smooth and my best regards to ( Master of Legends )✌️ Mr Dennis Chambers✌️🙏

These songs are amazing. Everything about his series is just terrific!

When Dennis specifically calls you out! Gergo the great!

God please keep Dennis😭❤️

Mr. Dennis, thank you for loving Gergő Borlai. You have been his role model since he was a child.

The reason I quit guitar and grab my sticks... God Bless you Master... thank you for making me fill a flame that I didn’t know it was there. Your minimal efford is every drummers maximum.

"If you' gonna count in, count in! All I heard is a whisper!" lol Absolute LEGEND!

I saw Dennis Chambers do a drum clinic at G.C. Hollywood in the late 90's. I sat in the front row. He started doing a drum solo that felt like I was on a battlefield and charging at me was an infantry running at full speed, tanks, horses, jets and choppers.......literally blowing me out of my seat! Just amazing! He was such a nice guy too, signing autographs at the end. I had him sign my Steely Dan "Alive in America" live CD and also a live John McLaughlin Trio CD. When I saw S. Dan in 1994 at Irvine Meadows, Dennis was on the throne and his version of Aja was so incredible, it is on that live album! What a player........and makes it look so easy.......just funk me! That overhead view at 7:33....tasty!

man, barely recognize him but he sounds flawless as usual. such a treat to see him perform w mono

musicians are the best people.

Dennis revolucionou tudo o que entendemos sobre bateria em todas as esferas... Simplesmente o gênio dos gênios... Long Live The King!!!!!

Holy cow, I wasn't expecting to be hit with so much respect in that room for this fantastic artist, and the flood of emotion that just hit me with. This dude is a legend, and he got that respect. Not fans adoring him and whatever, but straight up just... respect from that room. That was real.

Que alegría siento de ver tocar a Denis chamber, una admiración por siempre, que Dios bendiga 🙌🏼👏🏻 grandioso baterista 👏🏻

Looking at this video once again in 2023, it amazes me that he's able to put on that performance, after bouncing back from a recovery from an illness that almost had us lose him! Thank God for him to still be amongst us! And to be proud to say that he's fully recovered!

What a beautiful moment with Gergo. That brought tears to my eyes. Isn’t being a drummer great! 😁

Dennis Chambers es parte de mi vida como Maradona!!!! Dennis is a part of mi like like Maradona!!!! te quiero hombre gigante!!!!

I remember seeing him do an amazing clinic at montreux Switzerland back in the early 90s and someone asked who's your hero Dennis?and he replied Well as a matter of fact hes just walked in,so we all turned see who it was and standing at the door was omar hakim.mutual respect from the greats who have nothing left to prove. I could watch Dennis all day!

Mannnnn! That was amazing! I almost want to say GhostNote played their butts off (if that’s even possible lol) even more because it was with Dennis. That was killer, great syncopation in that tune, definitely one for the books!

I had the pleasure of meeting Dennis in the uk when he was touring with Santana. During our brief chat he inspired me to never give up on my musical dreams and was the reason I started playing the drums seriously. I had played guitar for manny years but always wanted to take up the drums So I went on eBay and bought a second hand drum kit and have never looked back. I wont lie at the start I couldn’t believe how bad I was but with determination and a lot of patience anything is possible. Music is a gift that never stops giving and has carried me through manny hard times. Drums have given me a far deeper understanding of rhythm and that has had a great effect on my guitar playing. I have you to thank for that Dennis. so generous so talented and one of the nicest guys to ever walk this earth. Thanks for being you You Rock!!! Hope are paths will cross again later on down the line but until then God Bless

7:06 YOOOOOOO!!! It's about to get FUNKY in here!!!! Also, I nearly cried when Dennis shouted Gergo and Mono for their amazing. I just got into Gergo and it's been such an awesome ride watching him play, and the same to MonoNeon. It's make me happy being alive in this time.

Just spectacular! (Exclamation mark)...

You already know!!!!!!!!

Every drummer has performed in this series is superb but Dennis is from other planet;) Every bit of his stroke is unbelievably precise and groovin'. Not only the chops but musically great and tasty!

That guy hitting drums with sticks is pretty good. He could go places.

He is not even looking at the drums!!! A magician!!! Drumming world will remember him forever!

Hi everyone, I think that's his favourite shirt.😂 Yes, last saw him perform with Santana, he's one who'll sit with any musician, and nail it.🎉

When I first saw Dennis way back in 1978 with Brides of Funkenstein .. I told a friend of mine who also was at the concert that this cat is going to blaze a trail that no one will forget...and here it is 40 years later this brother is still bringing the heat.

Man, i saw a comment once about Dennis and his drastic weight loss and how he is apparently ill, that alongside his joke about how hes not dead yet... Has me worried.

Dennis Chambers! Lovely back to Warsaw 1986 also..

"Hello.. I'm not dead yet.. just a little flesh wound" hahaha. Though many present would have been concerned by the recent change in his health/appearance; Dennis Chambers clearly has a character that transcends limitations - what a sense of groove, humour, humility.. legend. A giant from another world that I am grateful to have had insight into during my formative years.

Sput is amazing! DC is one of the greats! Amazing. Simply Amazing

one of the absolute greatest of all time ...was honored to meet dennis at a clinic in baltimore in 1989 and then again with victor wooten in boulder 2017...such a warm, insightful, thoughtful, and totally inspiring human being and oh the supreme master of our instrument...

🐐 Legend! Thank you Dennis for sharing your gift, talents and teachings. The One and Only!

Music knows no color, race or gender it’s all about the music and bond we create playing music together. I respect all musicians regardless of skill level or genre of music you play. Being able to play music is the best feeling in the world it provides an outlet for many!

When the best drummers around are saying "Wow" you know one of the GOATS is in the building
