    When I was 15 years old my drum tutor invited me to his home to sit and watch this video. My life changed! I then started studying 15 hours a day. Dennis is a true master. Thank you Dennis for your passion, your love, your respect for your instrument and the desire of the soul to play like you do. I am watching this video 29 years later, that just shows what a huge inspiration this video was to me. 👍🥁👍David Curtis

    This is like an early version of the isolated drum tracks. This was the golden age of fusion and funk drumming. Vinnie, Dave, Simon, Chad, Dennis etc. It was a great time to be playing.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Dennis after a Mike Stern gig at Jazz Alley in Seattle back in 2008/9 period and he was an utter gentleman. Incredibly unassuming and modest. A true master of his instrument and incredible musician. A wonderful example of how meeting one of your heroes can far exceed your expectations!

    My Dads drummer had a collection of VHS's he gave me in the early 2000's/late 90s, one of them being this "In the pocket". I had never heard or seen drumming like it. I was already playing drums for a while at that point too but this blew my mind. Til this day, I still think he's one of the GOATS. Im grateful i discovered him so early on!

He has always been a family orientated person since we were kids. I am so proud he's the person these 60 plus years. He has always fascinated when watching him play the drums. He is passion personified. The love is has always carried in his heart comes through in everything he's ever done, like I said since were kids. I pray that God continues to bless him and his family.
