Dennis Chambers is one of the funkiest and most electrifying drummers on today's music scene. His grooves have burned through recordings by Mike Stern, The Brecker Brothers, Bill Evans, Gary Thomas, Special EFX and more.

In addition, Dennis and Gary demonstrates the groundbreaking drum and bass grooves from the three songs that changed the course of soul, funk and fusion drumming:Cold Sweat, Cissy Strut, and Chameleon. Dennis explains what it means to play in the pocket and shows how he does it, using the classic P-Funk grooves Flashlight and One Nation Under A Groove as his examples.

In the Pocket provides valuable insight into this extraordinary drummer, both as a soloist and in inspired performances with this exceptional band. Level: Beginner to Pro.
