When I was 15 years old my drum tutor invited me to his home to sit and watch this video. My life changed! I then started studying 15 hours a day. Dennis is a true master. Thank you Dennis for your passion, your love, your respect for your instrument and the desire of the soul to play like you do. I am watching this video 29 years later, that just shows what a huge inspiration this video was to me. 👍🥁👍David Curtis

He has always been a family orientated person since we were kids. I am so proud he's the person these 60 plus years. He has always fascinated when watching him play the drums. He is passion personified. The love is has always carried in his heart comes through in everything he's ever done, like I said since were kids. I pray that God continues to bless him and his family.
