The legendary drummer Chad Wackerman performs a masterclass at the Australian Institute of Music on August 12th 2010. A fantastic day was had by all, this video is a small highlights package of the excellent informative session. For more info on Chad check out his website, link below.

A phenomenally skilled jazz and rock drummer, Chad's professional career began in 1978 with the Bill Watrous band. Since then he has amassed a remarkable body of work including a seven year association with Frank Zappa, with whom he toured the USA and Europe and recorded 26 albums including the London Symphony recordings.

He has also recorded 6 albums and toured with guitar legend Allan Holdsworth, played on the 'One Voice' album and video with Barbra Streisand, and recorded albums and toured with artists as diverse as Steve Vai, Andy Summers, Men At Work, Ed Mann, Albert Lee, Colin Hay, Dweezil Zappa and Tom Grant.

Chad has also toured with James Taylor, John Patitucci , Joe Sample, Banned From Utopia and The World Drummers Ensemble (Bill Bruford, Luis Conte, Dou Dou Ndiaye Rose and Chad Wackerman) and most recently toured the USA with another ex Zappa drummer - Terry Bozzio.

As a band leader and composer Chad has four critically acclaimed CDs titled 'Forty Reasons', 'The View', 'Scream', and his latest release 'Legs Eleven'. Chad has written music for the television show 'The Dennis Miller Show', as well as composing music for Allan Holdsworth's 'Secrets' , 'Wardenclyffe Tower' and 'Sixteen Men of Tain' CDs.

Chad's drumming combines the power and conviction of rock with the sensitivity and finesse of jazz. His playing is remarkably free of predictable patterns and licks, relying instead on invention and interplay with the musicians around him.

His new band, 'The Chad Wackerman Trio' features musicians:

Doug Lunn (bass)
Mike Miller (guitar).

monstrously sharp and precise, de even when he improvises!!...he looks so stoic when he plays!!
i saw him on '88 with Zappa and it was the same; nothing moves except his fore-arms!....and sometimes the head, on the left, on the right, with the speed of a spastic always that same "shy smile" on his face!
he seems to be a sweet and humble person... Respect Chad!!

I saw Wackerman drumming with Zappa in 1982 and it was actually hard to watch. By the time you figured out what he'd done he was on the other side of the kit playing something else. The best drummer I have ever seen.

I'm so glad I found the Vinnie C American Drummer profile to follow as he is the most virtuosic and fluent musically in my opinion in the entire world today but I probably play more like Chad W. I wish I could place the poly subdivisions as freely as Vinnie, but well that is what he is and does. I owe them both for my early inspiration and continue to listen and hopefully keep up with their innovation

Seen Chad 4x with Frank. One of the best drummers ever! Peter Urskin from Weather Report ...very good too!

Remember seeing him where his parents were in the audience. Want to say Santa Barbara or Santa Cruz. Saw Frank nearly 30 times so my memory isn't up to par. Look if you played with Zappa you're one of the best. Period.

I seem Chad play at the Great American Music Hall SF with Alan Holdsworth in the mid 90's, and got to shake hands with both after the show.🤓
