Dennis Chambers was born on May 9, 1959, and started playing the drums at the young age of four. By his sixth birthday he was already playing in nightclubs. Strictly self-taught, at the age of eighteen Dennis went straight from high school to playing with George Clinton’s Parliament Funkadelic, where he stayed in the drum chair until 1985, when he joined the band Special EFX. From there he’s gone on to play with David Sanborn, John Scofield, Bill Evans, Mike Urbaniak, George Duke, Stanley Clarke, John McLaughlin, Mike Stern, Steve Kahn, the Brecker Brothers Band, and many other fusion masters.
