      @@ryancox5097 sure am. I dont see why being lighthearted and fun makes a difference? If you don't think that drinking a coke and/or looking at your watch etc while playing isn't cocky and ridiculous then don't even worry. Lap up his entertainment.

    Wow! Dennis looks so much younger and healthy! ❤️🌹Gratitude!❤️Out of all of his favorite recordings I can't believe Dennis didn't mention Pick Hits by John Scofield (or any of Scofield's records with Dennis on it) Pick Hits is a 2 CD set of live recordings back in the day when he played with John Scofield. If you haven't heard that you're in for a treat... Peace and love to all of you!🌹🌞

    He is one talented drummer, who seems to be real down to earth. Speed, power, technique, and plays a soulful groove like nobody else. Wonderful sounding kit, too. Like the few truly great drummers, he understands music and how to make the most of his personal contribution to it.

    If you want to see the future (and present) of drumming, look no further than Yoyoka, a 13 year old girl drummer. First, she is also endorsed by Pearl, as the youngest person they ever endorsed. I think she was 8-9.
    Second, she's a real drummer/musician/artist. So, no tricks (not even twirling drumsticks), no short videos, no video editing (only one take videos)... Only pure enjoyment in drumming and music.
    And plenty of live videos (with even more different musicians), improvisations, live practices...
    What other popular YT/social media drummers do that? No one.
    And she plays, and excels, everything - rock (any kind), pop, funk, blues, jazz...
    Just 3-4 months after she moved to the US when she was first seriously introduced to jazz she recorded (in one day) her first jazz album. Recently she recorded her second jazz album, also in one day.
    And she plays live every week. More than a thousand live shows, since she was 4. From a crowd of a few dozen, up to 70 000. She played at Whisky a Go Go 3-4 times (first time when she was 9).
    And she is the only YT drummer that is on the Drummerworld list of top 500 drummers of all time, as the youngest person ever (she was 10). Dennis Chambers is also on that list, so that is another thing they have in common (alongside with Pearl).
    To put it simply, if you want to look future of drumming, you must look at Yoyoka:
