Dave Dicenso

[Lee Collins]

Woa! I've heard guys on here speak highly of him, but all I saw of him was a video someone posted of him playing simple blues at a gig. I had NO idea he was such a chops monster. Well, this solo is truly inspiring stuff. Probably you've all heard it unless it's a new one since drummerworld seems to have updated a few different profiles recently.

Yeah Dave is such a find. Thanks to Shedder for hipping us to him. I'd love to study with him.

That mp3 is great. A little heavy on the bass drum but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

[Terry B]

Thanks so much for that, Andy! That is awesome!!

Yes, he has great chops but more importantly, he has feel, time and metric mod skills as good as anyone's. I saw him play a gig with a Bluesy guitarist named Johnny Z and he always played musically. His few solos were killer with wonderful dynamics and a great use of buzzes. On a few occasions, he'd be playing a groove while his hi-hat would be in another time signature. Subtle but incredible.

Thanks for the info, Rudy.
Dicenso is one of the few drummers whose drum-solos (like this one) i can (wish-want-enjoy) listen from start to finish without viewing the clock or stopping the clip.
I have searched on this forum all the files about him. More would be great.
I really love this guy.
