A Look at The World’s Greatest Session Drummer

In the middle of this special New York Times Magazine package, "25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music is Going," is a short profile of Matt Chamberlain, whom they bill as "the world's greatest session drummer." (It's No. 8, and revolves around a Keith Urban song.) I bring it up here, because Chamberlain got his start with Deep Ellum's own Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, after the California kid dropped out of UNT. He went to Pearl Jam (where he was eventually replaced by another drummer from around here, Dave Abbruzzese) and then went onto the Saturday Night Live house band and then pretty much everywhere. ANYWAY, check out the whole package, because it's a clever approach with A-plus writers involved.
