I just want to see the different drummers you all like. My favorite drummer is Calvin Rodgers who plays on most of John P. Kee albums. Tell me who is your favorite
. :D :D

Calvin Rodgers is a an excellent drummer, but I still like LaDelle Abrams, the original drummer for John P. Kee. That dude is off da chain. He played for the Strength CD and the Any Day CD. I also like the drummer from Bishop Paul S. Morton's Let It Rain CD.
-
Yeah he was off tha chain. John P. Kee has really good taste in drummers.

I like all the drummers mentioned above. Although I think that Calvin Rodger's best work that I came across was on Larry Trotters "Tell the Devil I'm Back" album. Anyone see him playing live? He bounces up and down more than a yoyo.
To add other drummers. I love Marvin McQuitty (Fred Hammond), he plays with so much power that it makes me sweat. I like Gerald Heyward work off the first James Hall album and Hez album with the Lord Will Make a Way Somehow. Mario Winans did his thing on Perfecting Praise album too.
I've got many more but these are the ones that come to mind now.
-
hahah.... yea i use to study LaDell Abrams techniques. I knew his every move on the John P. Kee "Strength" CD (when i was real young)
Now John's older son plays for him, C.J. or Chris Kee. And since i go to their church, i see first-hand how good he is. He is rediculas.
Calvin Rogers is also sik on the sticks.
Can't forget about Marvin McQuitty (Fred Hammond's drummer..sickly 8O )
Kim Burreal has a tight drummer too, dunn ohis name
-
I like Austin Moore. Of course he is from Louisville. But he went to play for Bobby Jones for a few years. Now I hear that he is playing for a group in Detroit, I think. He is the only drummer that I have seen that actually gets caught in the spirit while playing and sings with the choir while playing. I don't mean just mouthing the words, I mean he actually sings.
-
Without question, Bill Bruford. A lot of the stuff with contemporary Christian music has session players on drums, so I don't really know their names. Most of them are very good, though. I like the guy who normally plays with Tommy Walker. I forget his name now.
-
what about kevin bonds drummer i forgot his name but i went to a clinic
with him about a month ago and he was tight!!!
-
in no peticular order
nutty,spanky,eric tribbett, eric boody, sput (kim burrell)
dana hawkins, mike reid ( played for karen clark while he was in 7th grade) mike moore,
-
Hey lildrummaboy_987, you from philly or something? I see you got Spanky and Eric Tribbett listed. But who is Nutty? I don't think that I've ever heard of him.
-
im from baltimore wher alot of beasty drummers are its hard to figure out the best drummer but he was playin for andre nance and greater praise when they went to john p kees church last month he was a big heavy set guy
-
im from baltimore
You ever heard of Pastor Michael Turner from I think Largo MD?
-
no i dont know to much about largo
-

Well...I agree with what I've read, and man, all those guys are ''ill'', some reall monster drummers there, however since we're on the subject matter of best drummers...wouldn't Vinnie Colaiuta be ''the baddest'' now that he's a christian...he's my favrit.
-
what about kevin bonds drummer i forgot his name but i went to a clinic
with him about a month ago and he was tight!!!
He's not the one that played on the Marvin Sapp CD.."Diary of a Psalmist"?
-
Can't forget about Marvin McQuitty (Fred Hammond's drummer..sickly 8O )
MARVIN is the man!!
he makes each song his own.
he knows where to put in the rolls,fills at the right time and that for me makes a drummer.
he's got the power,creativity,got the dynamics perfect!!,accuracy,speed.
for me he is the best!!
-
Have anyone heard of Kevin Stephens from Gary/Chicago. He died a few months ago but he had made a serious name for himself in the industry.
-
Hands down....I got to give it to Gary Mayes & Dennis Chambers....They are sick....Two of the best
-
There is a guy in Tallahasee Florida by the name of Jonathan Davis who is a student at FAMU the boy is bad I think he is from Miami he plays at Abundant Life in Tallahassee.

Joel Smith is the pioneer for church drummers along with Jeff Davis.
Gerald Heyward is a beast too. Kevin Bonds session drummer is Jeremy haynes out of St.Louis.
-
MAN THERE ARE A LOT OF GOSPEL DRUMMERS I LIKE MAN . CALVIN RODGERS(ONE OF MY FAVORITE DRUMMERS) SPANKY, ERIK TRIBBET, ERIC BOODY, NUTTY IS SICK, BUT I THINK THE DRUMMER THAT INSPIRED ME THE MOST IS MARVIN MQUITTY.

OH HEY ANY ONE KNOW 4 SURE IF MARVIN MQUITTY RETIRED AND CALVN PLAYS 4 FRED NOW?

-
every bodys talkin about these drummers who are on albums youll need to come to Nyc and find some of the nastiest drummers youll ever see. LIke Nat townsely jermaine who play for new life tabneracl and the village underground Mike Grieves this is a name peopl should look out for if he gets break drummers put your sticks away Sherman roberts from LI Paul john from LIV the nastiest drummer i ever heard was Paul john holla
-
I read through all the posted. You guys picked some good drummers. However the greatest drummer in my opinion is DENNIS CHAMBERS. I have not heard anyone do any of the things he does on the drums.

My favorite drummers are Will Kennedy & Gary Novak. They are not Gospel drummers, but they are HOT!!! Even though I live in Bmore, I am not a big Dennis Chambers fan. I like him, but the only thing that really is impressive about him is how fast he can move around the kit. As far as his musical ideas, I am not very impressed. He has sounded the same for the last decade plus. Somebody said that nobody is doing what he does, and I beg to differ. He is not the cleanest nor the most innovative. He is very good, but Vinnie, Dave Weckl and Gregg Bissonette are so much more tasteful. None of the three are as fast as Dennis, but they are all cleaner and more tasteful. Most guys in church only like Dennis because he is busy. I would suggest listening to cats like Omar Hakim and Lil John who have thick pockets and big pay checks. Most drummers in Baltimore have chops but no groove. We have a cat here named Royal who I think has a good pocket.
-
:( unfortunatley Marvin McQuitty has left Fred Hammond and RFC. However Calvin Rodgers is a sick drummer. Marvin McQuitty is my favourite drummer, i've learned most of the things i know from him. Calvin Rodgers has got rolls and all that but when i saw him live he wasn't in the music as much as Marvin. Every hit of a cymbal, tom, kick and snare are in the right place at the right time. Also Marvin plays in the spirit and that makes a BIG difference.
-
HOLD JUST ONE SEC..... what do u mean that Marvin doesn't play for Fred anymore???.... i've been listening to Fred and Marvin since the oooold F. Hammond dayz..(remmber I am Persuaded..haha)....
So where is Marvin now? Is he playin for someone else? and how do u know?
-
Jeanice from RIZEN

I know all of u lot are from da U.S.A i understand and i like all of the same drummers u like:- Marvin mcquitty, Calvin Rodgers, Ladell Abrams, Calvin Napper, Mario Winans & MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE RAY BADY when he used 2 play. All of u guys from america need 2 listen 2 the next generation drummers cummin from BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND :-Matthew Brooks(drummin 4 christ), Graham Campbel, Marcus Copland & Elliot Fithe.
Don't get me wrong all u americans are basically the best drummers in the world but these are the next generation.
I am also a drummer but i am not up 2 all of you other drummers standards. peace out y'all
-
Well my favourite drummers are Marvin McQuitty (my favourite), Calvin Napper, Ray Bady, Calvin Rodgers, and Mario Winans (when he used 2 play Gospel).
SnEEkEE aint lying tho, there's a lot of good drummers coming through in England. He is one of them, he plays like Calvin Rodgers (some crazy rolls and all that) and Ray Bady and he's still young. Give him a year or 2 and he'll be just as good as them guys. He aint just talented tho, he's anointed and he lets God play through him when plays, so he can minister 2 people while being ministered 2 himself at the same time.
There aint much drummers that i like in England but SnEEkEE (Daniel Gordon) is my favourite, then it's Graham Campbell, Gareth Brown, Chris Bailey, Elliot Fithe, and Marcus Copeland.
God is gonna do a NEW THING with us English musicians. The Americans are better but it'll be our humble spirit, our relationship with God and not just playing (when we get behing a kit) but worshipping and making sure God gets the glory out of everything we do on the kit.
Well God Bless you,
God is GOOD all the TIME, ALL the TIME God is GOOD!

Shawn Williams Is my favorite drummer
-
My Name is Curtis. I live in West Bmore. Holla!!!! Devin is a pretty good drummer. Kevin Ellis has a good pocket with good feel. I have heard most of the drummers that you have named, but a lot of them are not band players. Bmore drummers have a ton of chops, but the ability to groove is not there with most of them.

I just want to see the different drummers you all like. My favorite drummer is Calvin Rodgers who plays on most of John P. Kee albums. Tell me who is your favorite. :D :D
Bless Yall,
cckdl 8) 8)
Calvin Rodgers is the man!!!!!!!!! Actually he only played on one of John P Kee's album (Not Guilty), and he played with John P Kee when he produced Drea Randle, But for sure Calvin Rodgers is the man!!! He plays with so much energy that he can't do anything but drive the praise out of you!!!!! I like others do Spanky being #2 and Chris Kee has the sweetest pocket ever! I just love how all of his grooves just sit in the pocket so tight and clean!!!!!! But still Calvin is the man, thats my role model!!!

Billy Johnson (... born and raised in Philly) is the man... I had the pleasure of meeting him in Orlando a couple years back. He was playing with jazz guitarist, Joyce Cooley. His 3 stints with Santana ( for folks that don't know, note He hooked Dennis and Carlos up!... he had the gig after Rodney Holmes and new Denis wanted to play with Carlos and Carlos wanted to play with Dennis.) His years with MAZE featuring Franky Beverly of the hook.
He was/is a very cool cat with groove and musicality for days. In our conversation. He was very disappointed that the younger genreration are players and not musicians. As well the absence of bands these days is disturbing.
