I will tell you why i myself and others thought he was a christian drummer. it was because he was on a site called GOSPEL chops. giving the impression that we were learning from a gospel website with gospel musicians. thats like having show called GOSPEL Idol and having some one from slipknot win.

He started out playing in church, and from what I hear, he plays in church whenever he isn't on the road.

Well, Chris Dave still play's in church ... and you can tell by looking at his lips, he's no stranger to 'herbal therapy'...

Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but... :D :D :D :D

To be perfectly honest with you.  Christ has been like that for years, Like before Mint, and Kenny Garrett.  I meet Chris when he used to go to Howard U back in that day.  Chris and Gordon Campbell would go at it for hours.  See Chris studied Tony Williams like real heavy.  If you listen to some of Hebbie, and Tony from Head Hunter CD You can hear a lot of Chris influence.

Well, I didn't see it that way. I can definitely  understand why you WOULD see it that way...

However...

It is gospelCHOPS.com .. not gospelMUSICIANS.com. The focus is on the helping people develop their chops, by bringing in renowned and/or highly skilled drummers.

I know music ministries that have NO born-again musicians. They're talented, and the church appoint them to those positions. Good music, in many cases, seems to be more important than the characters of the one's playing it.

Ideally, they'd want them to be Christian ... but, Don't ask, Don't tell??

Seven,

Oh, I was only joking. Now, I do know that the guy is fond of marijuana ... but, I also know that the dude is VERY MUCH dedicated to perfecting his craft.

I'm still laughin @ 'herbal therapy'...LOL. I don't know Thomas persoanally so I don't know what his spiritual life is all about, what I do know, is if you profess a belief in Christ Jesus, then there needs to be some sort of represntation in your lifestyle.

Let the church say amen...now I'm going back to my 'herbal therapy' glacoma is a beast..I know I spelled it wrong...LOL

You ever think they are laughing at us? Do you think they in their hearts know that they are not living a Christian life but are still reaping the rewards and fame of being a Christian musician?

Thomas definitely needs prayer fellas.  He has Heriion and other non-pharmacy drugs and things as being a major influence in his life. If you look at some of those pictures, he is clearly high on something.  I think Thomas is a great talent but there is definitely something that is missing in his playing.  We can only pray that God pricks his heart a causes a change in him.
