The 15 Greatest Groove Drummers Of All Time: Matt Chamberlain.
Craviotto Artist Matt Chamberlain is among DRUM! Magazines April 2010 article, The 15 Greatest Groove Drummers Of All Time.
"In an era when you're just as likely to hear a drum machine program as a flesh and blood drummer, Matt Chamberlain has successfully navigated both worlds. By creating a singular groove that has no real sonic signature, Chamberlain became the first-call L.A. session drummer (sorry, Josh Freese). The diverse artists he has recorded with mirror his enormous ability to fit into any situation. Majorly pliable, Chamberlain's skills (both physically delivered and occasionally programmed) have appeared on more than 200 albums, including those by Fiona Apple, The Wallflowers, Stevie Nicks, Dave Navarro, Master Musicians Of Jajouka, Garbage, David Bowie, Keith Urban, William Shatner, Shakira, Sean Lennon, Sarah McLaughlin, and Dido. And while pulling in the big superstar bucks, Chamberlain has also found time to play small-time projects, including his own solo album (which he described as "an imaginary soundtrack to an Asian-Western-sci-fi-horror movie"), as well as the bands Thruster, Critters Buggin', and Weapon Of Choice. Tori Amos has called Chamberlain "the human loop." " - Sam Pryor (photo: Ronn Dunnett)
