soldieranointed, to answer your question,

Doobie Powell's out of CT.  Has 3 CDs out locally.  The Offspring, The Offspring Vol. 1, and Can't Be Stopped. (I may be wrong about the name for the first album.  Got to cdbaby.com.  You can hear snippets of his past albums.  You may need to contact his church directly to order copies.  Known to be sick on drums, also on the keys.

His brother is Billy Powell, aka Churchboy.  He has a local CD out called Churchboy as well.  He's sick on the drums as well.  Their other brother, Kevin Powell, plays mostly organ and keys, if I'm not mistaken.

But the Powells are a talented and blessed family.  I've always thought the same thing, why they're not more widely distributed.  But that's a management thing.  Also, it may be by choice.  Not sure.  Whatever it is, good music comes out from that family.  I may have to buy the Kim Burrell album, though it's so old.  If Doobie was killing it on that like people say, those licks are still relevant and applicable today. 

What makes his drumming stand out is his placement.  He has a good sense of space and knows how to accent very well. He punctuates the music well. He can do some nice rolls just with the snare and hi-hat.  And he's always in the pocket. 



Good Lookin, and I will hit that website up!  Thanx[/color][/size]

As Elvin Jones is to Jazz, Doobie Powell is to gospel.  When Elvin stepped to any jazz set or session you could tell it was him by his signature triplet feel and stlye.  In addition, his time with the fills that he did was swingin' so hard! The same thing applies with Doobie.  You can tell it's him when you here him play and catch those sixteenth e's and ah's (1e&ah, 2e&ah,etc.)  He also makes that splash and first tom float like a butterfly and sting like a bee! You can tell he really spent some time listening, practicing, and getting HIS voice through the set by himself.  That is what all musicians should want for themselves.  Not saying that there is something wrong with taking a lick here and there from another drummer.  But, take that lick and try to find your own voice through that lick.  You'll be suprised at how sick YOU are! 8) !

Haven't seen you in a a while. How are you doing bruh (Lil John Lumpkin)?
