Dennis Chambers (born May 9, 1959) is an American drummer who has recorded and performed with John Scofield, Carl Filipiak, Steely Dan, Santana, Parliament/Funkadelic, John McLaughlin, Niacin, Mike Stern, and many others. Despite a complete lack of formal training, Chambers has become well-known among drummers for his impressive technique and speed. Chambers is particularly regarded for his ability to play "in the pocket" but can also stretch very far out of the pocket which is also a hallmark of his technique. Chambers exhibits a powerful style that is technically proficient, yet highly musical and groove-oriented. He can play in a wide variety of musical genres, but is perhaps most notable for his jazz-fusion, funk, and Latin music playing. He is mostly known for his fast hands and triplets on the bass drum. He has helped many young drummers, the most prominent being Tony Royster Jr.

Chambers began drumming at the age of four years old, and was gigging in Baltimore-area nightclubs by the age of six. In 1978 (at 18 years old) he joined Parliament/Funkadelic, and stayed with them until 1985. In the early 1990s he joined the John Scofield band. Since then he has played with most of the major figures in jazz fusion music.

Recently, he has been part of the Maceo Parker live band.

He is currently touring with Carlos Santana and makes appearances with his band Niacin. He plays Pearl drums, Zildjian cymbals, and Zildjian sticks.

 J-Fusion의 대표 밴드인 'Casiopea'의 드러머인 'Akira Jimbo'

 

Akira Jimbo ( 드러머 겸 작곡가 ) 

그는 현재 색채가 다른 여러밴드에서 다방면으로 활동하고있다.

가히 명실공히 아시아 최고의 드러머이고 독학으로 드럼을 Master한 몇안되는 천재드러머

그는 어릴적엔 금융업계에서 일을 하려했단다.  그러던중 고등학교시절 어느티비에서 우연히본 Steve Gadd 의 연주는 그의 일생을 송두리채 바꾸어 버렸다.<br>

그는 Steve Gadd 의 연주를 카피하고또 카피했으며 또한 그의 독창성을 발휘하여 그만의 독특한  연주스타일로 확립시켰다.

오래전 아키라짐보가 드럼연주한지 4년째에 낸 퓨젼밴드인 카시오페아 80년작 "Thunder Live"를 보고 그의 실력에 경탄을 금치못했던 기억이 난다. 

그리고 해가 거듭할수록 그의연주 테크닉과 세트내 조합은 여러형태로 발전해나갔다. 

그의천재성에 피나는 노력을 하는 드러머이다.

그의 천재성과 독창적인 연주아이디어는 많은 연주자들에게 자극을 주면서

영국 드럼 잡지 'Rhythm'의 독자 인기 투표 2위에 랭크 

그리고 세계에서 가장 권위있는 드럼 전문지인 미국 'Modern Drummer Magazine'의

2000년 6월호 표지 모델로 선정되기도 했고 10여 페이지에 걸친 

Akira Jimbo 특집 기사의 주인공이기도 하다.

일본인, 나아가서 아시아인으로서는 처음..

 

그는 직접 연주및 작곡한 솔로앨범을 10장정도 냈다.

솔로앨범에선 그의 엄청난 연주실력을 기대하고서 듣는다면 실망할것이다.

그는 그의 솔로앨범을 통해서  연주력보다는 

그가 지난 작곡실력과 프로듀서로서의 실력을 발휘하고싶기때문.

몇곡빼고는 비교적 드럼이 별 튀지 않는 곡들로 구성되어져 있다.

단지 그의 테크닉을 기대하고 앨범을 들을려면 Jimsaku , Casiopea ,열대관현악단 그리고 그가 세션한 수많은 퓨젼앨범을 들으면 성에 차지 않을까 싶다.

[edit] Background

Akira Jimbo began drumming at the age of 18 when he joined the Keio University Light Music Society Big Band. He became famous through his playing with Casiopea during the years 1979-1989. These days Casiopea is recording again with Jimbo, who returned in 1997. During his solo career he formed Jimsaku-duo with Casiopea's bassist Tetsuo Sakurai in 1989. Recently, he has been working with Hiroyuki Noritake from T-Square in the drum-duo Synchronized DNA and have together performed in a series of concerts with Casiopea.

Akira Jimbo has a unique drumming style which is best demonstrated in his drum videos and at his drum clinics. By using the DTX drum triggering system, he is able to play a full band sound without a backing track.

In 1999, Akira Jimbo was awarded 2nd place in the British drum magazine RHYTHM for most popular drummer. In June 2000, he became the first Asian drummer to be featured on the cover of Modern Drummer magazine. He also appeared in the Modern Drummers Festival in 2000, which is available on DVD.

More recently Jimbo has assisted in the design of the new K Custom Hybrid Series of cymbals by Zildjian.
