We all must understand that Ladell Abrams brought out a style of drumming in gospel that when you heard him, you knew it was him.
Case and point - When Ladell Left John Pee Kee, John went and sought a drummer who sounded alot like Ladell Abrams because Ladell gave John a new sound(compare the albums from the beginning up until Ladell's debut with John on the album "Show Up". Calvin Rogers is good but you must hear Ladell Abrams in a solo spot.
Another drummer who is plain a dog on the set and that is Mario "Skeeter" Winans. DO NOT back him into a corner!
Oh yeah, please please please.....You can not forget Dana Davis - A complete beast! - He is the gospel Dennis Chambers. He also taugh Mario Winans how to play! Dana Davis was also the man on set for the Gospel group -"The Winans", and so many other groups and recordings, too many to mention! Dana Davis.....look this cat up, and if you haven't heard- You sho betta ask somebody!
These drummers are from Detroit Mich.
Ladell Abrams is from Ypsilanti Michigan.
