http://www.funkadelph.com is TMJC's official site. there's a few more clips on there. lil john doesn't have much of a web presence, so it's hard to find info on him...
this man is the reason why cats like spanky, booty, erik tribbett, bfraiser-moore, etc. are so nice. he's probably the most underrated pro drummer out there (as far as mainstream drummers go).

Amen brothers!!! Haaaaaaallelujah!!! People are finally shining the light on Lil' John. This dude is my favorite all-time drummer. I salivate over his drumming. Robdown, you're absolutely right about his web presence. I've tried everything to find more info on him, no luck. I became a Lil' John fan after Jehovah's Chosen first album... blazin'. I have the Eric Essix album with him on it from like '93 and his playing on that album had me like whoooooaaa!!! And that women's conference he did with Shiela E. Huh!! 'nuff said. Anything he's done with George Duke is awesome. Ya'll should check him out on Rachelle Ferrell's album as well. I don't know the name of that album, but it's the one where she has the short twists in her hair on the album cover.
-
WZUP SUGABEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR RIGHT MAN, HE IS NOT MENTIONED AS MUCH AS HE SHOULD BE! WHEN THE JC CD CAME OUT, I ALREADY KNEW HE WAS BLAZIN, HE DID THE CD RELEASE SERVICE AND KILLED IT! THAT MAN WAS SIGNING AUTO GRAPHS AT THE JOINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEN COULPLE YRS B4 THAT CD HE DID THE VELVET ROPE TOUR WITH JANET JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!DID YOU HEAR HIS SOLO ON THAT TOUR??? IF NOT CHECK THAT DVD OUT, IT IS AT MOST BEST BUY STORES, I REALLY DONT LIKE TO COMPARE DRUMMERS,CUSS I DONT THINK IT'S FARE,BUT LOOK AT HIS RESUME COMPARED TO MANY OF THE DRUMMERS MENTIONED ON THIS SITE, NUFFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Moedrums you ain't said nothing but a word. I look at that dvd like everyday. That whole band was blazin' and ole' school (I had to throw that in there). I watch it just to study Lil' John's approach to hihat technique... wonderful, not too much and not too little. By the way, how do you all approach hihat grooving. It's something I've always struggled with. I hate the sound of busy hihat work and the emptiness of mundane hihat work. Where is the happy medium? You rarely hear drummers talk about hihat technique. How do you all approach it?

YOOOOOOO!!!! me and john shed together while we're both home, and NO,NO,NO, he's not underated "HE WORKS MORE THAN ANY OTHER CAT IN THE INDUSTRY DOES RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!! HE'S NEVER HOME AND, HE'S ALWAYS IN THE STUDIO CUTTIN!" SO! just cause you dont see him on TV does not mean he aint doing his thing "TRUST ME DAT ***** IS ON EVERYBODY'S RECORDS!" 8O and his phone never stops ringing. And as far as the web presence im hooking him up and showing him how to establish his website sa we speak, because i agree he should have one so im gonna follow after what the bible says and that is to "Be Helpers One To Another!", so sit tight and he'll be here soon. :wink: And I wasn't going to tell anyone this yet but, i guess i can trust you my fellow drummers! :? Myself and John will be doing a master class together on gospelchops.com real soon. Im trying to introduce him to the gospel arena because he asked me too and that's my dawg! so that's whta im attempting to do. And at the same time hook you guys up with the people that i call my friends in this industry. :D COOL? So sit tight and i'll make it happen Fam! :D .
-
jhaynes you be doing some serious lookin' out (whooaa ebonics overload). You most definitely need to post here when you two finally do that master class. I loved your master class alone. I can't imagine what it would be like to see you both do one together. Man, I'm... I'm speechless. I'm happier than a hyper white kid at Chuck E. Cheese!!!! For Lil' John to make a web appearance would be near celestial. Looking forward to that website as well. The only thing it would have to consist of is his name and I'll sit and stare at it all day and leave an hour and a half to go practice and check on my peeps here at learngospelmusic.com. Holla!
-
8O Are you Serious man. Just when we thought this couldn't get any better. You and Lil John. That's cool. Now see if yall can find my man Derico Watson and Chris Coleman and Brian Frazier Moore to do something with you guys also. You guys should make a DVD together. I bet you'll end up on Modern Drummer 06, 07, 08, 09 festivals. :D

That's Crazy!!!!! I know this lady at my church that went to the Brook (Overbrook High School) out here in Philadelphia. John was in my hood instead of the ATL (I think that's where he chills at now)so she was trying bring him over my neck of the woods so I could get some pointers. But it never fell through.......That's OK. He'll be in town again soon so it's all gravy. Not to brag or anything but there are a lot of cat's that say I sound like John like his good man Jethanial Nixon (a bohemoth of a bass player) who I've had the plesure of sheding with. I thought that the good Lord decided to take me home that day. Yo, robdown, you have to tell him my story, man!!!!!!! A meeting with John would boost anybody's playing, like 70%!!!!!!!!!
-
HEY AMARSHALL,TELL J-NIXON MARK SAID WZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 HE WAS A BEAST WAY BACK IN THE DAY! WE HIT TOGETHER IN PHILLY MANY A WEEKND AND DID SOME R&B GIGS TOGETHER, HE DID THE MUSIQ GIG WITH JOHN SO I YOU PROLLY DO SOUND LIKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yo, MOEDRUMS, I watch the clip of John playing on Musiq's website all the time. They were playing that song HALFCRAZY. Those clips are wit Thany but did you ever peep the join when Musiq performed on the Independence Day?! Oh Lord!!!!!! That's when Thaddeus Tribbett was doing the gig. That was just incredible!!!! :lol:
-

HE MAKES ME COPIES OF ALL THAT STUFF, OF COURSE JOHN DOES'NT PLAY ANYMORE,BUT MY OTHER BOY GOT THE GIG, HE IS A BEAST TOO,

'Lil' Jon is sick... One of my favorites man. I used to check out him and his band The Chronicle at a lil hole in the wall spot called the Yin-Yang Cafe when I lived in ATL. Man dude would pack the spot shoulder to shoulder. You gotta see him at work behind Janet Jackson on that HBO special concert though. Mad groove in the pocket & Chops for days.... He definitely deserves more pub....

Better late than never. Had to say a few words about this brother. Lil' John is a mentor to many of the cats on the East Coast, especially those residing in the Philly area. He's not underrated it's just he's more prominently known in other venues. Meaning, he's just not a "gospel" drummer per se as most ,if not all, of his gigs are with secular artists, i.e. as previously mentioned Janet, MUSIQ, BONEY JAMES, just to name a few. In fact, he came up in Philly with Joey DeFrancesco, the great jazz organist. Thank goodness he has given us "gospelheads" a small taste of his work through the Tony Moore and JC projects. (please check them out, especially his drum solo on the first project) LOVELY!!
BTW, Lil' John himself was on this site about two months ago. (Let me digress for a minute: You'll never know who may be watching and viewing our posts...) Additionally, I believe that there is a recent (within the last six months) interview with him in Modern Drummer. In fact, he may be back in Philly, but I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me on that tidbit.
I can not say this enough but Lil' John's playing is phenomenal. He's downright crazy and one of the best "groovists" and creative drummers out there. He can play ANY style. He was doing ALL of the tricks before they became commonplace. A true master. HE, Jeff and Gerald are the true legends. Peace!

i've know about Lil Jon for years now, what i didn't know was Tony Moore'nem. the clips on the site are tight...especially that "miracle" track. theres nothing like worship 8)
