I disagree to most of you guys, Dennis played great and it was a great song for him. The kit looks like the one he used when he recorded his DCI drum videos (the bass drum head is the same).
Dennis doesn't warm up.

Good song for him, but I think not appropiate for the TV show.
We all know Dennis KILLS this type of grooves...and beyond.

That's exactly what I thought as well. Not my favorite DC solo but always nice to see him "chew".

Fixed !!!!

I loved all drummers of that week, it was all different, we could hear their own style, drum sound was good for all, it was very fun and entairtening, great show.

PS : I don't know why, but I don't want Vinnie do that show, I think he will not do it, he does not like to be where everybody are, it's also one the reason why I love the guy.

I suggest a HOD Drum Solo Week - that can be fun!

"We can toss names back and forth all day long about who we'd like to see on Drum Week III, but any list is incomplete if it doesn't include..."

The Reverend Jeff would hacve fit in well with all the assorted NYC nuts Dave used to have on his show...

Harvey Pekar...that guy was a lunatic.

Chris Elliott...he was a lunatic.

Larry Bud Melman...that guy...lunatic.

Andy Kaufman.

But Dave is far removed from those olden days where he was, you know, funny and weird. I used to love that show.

Brings back tons of memories. I loved it back then too. I haven't watched with any regularity in years. Remember Edie McClurg on the morning show?

The tempo was very close to original. I blame the horns for the flatness . . fuc*in' horn players . I do think DC was holding back a bit.

I hope there are lots more drum solo weeks... maybe a "Young Lions" week would be cool (if not completely impractical) with:
Fizenden
Gergo
Chris Dave
Nasheet Waits

& Vinnie of course.
