What an amazing drummer! His dad was a professional drummer + started teaching John at the tender age of 3. Prince had only the best musicians for his band + John was "the drummer" on + off for 15 years. Leaving us at 43 is way too soon! You are both missed + loved! 💐
I haven't known him for very long, but when I heard his music for the first time, his drumming instantly made me a fan of his. His track Mind of J remains one of my favorite jazz/funk songs forever. I can't believe he's not there with us anymore. Rest in Piece, John Blackwell.
RIP brother John Blackwell Jr., I pray the gates of Heaven r open wide for U. I miss u. We Love U. Your kind Spirit is what made u soo inspiring to me. God Bless You
Been watchindg alot of Calvin Rodgers lately -Monster-Yet I can See / hear the amazement of Talent John displays .. Calvin was definetly digging Him .What a loss ..Losing friends ,leaving, Us is a tough one...
R.I.P Mr Legend , and just to mention!!, The Greatest Drummer of all times was, is and will always be The one and only Mr Neil Peart , may both rest in peace 🎼🥁🎼🥁🎵🥁🎼🙌🙌‼️
Robin, it's coming online as soon as we can handle all that we do at Drummerszone.com. And that is seriously a lot, even on levels nobody sees! Too cool you were there as well! You are one of the few at the last official Buddy Rich Memorial.
Im sorry ....John Blackwell was the baddest drummer on the planet...He plays with a normal 5 piece and makes it sound like a 15 piece 🤔🤔🤔...wow !!!!!!!!!! The man was beyond a beast ...He came from a far galaxy 😳😳😳😳😳 ...Prince made a good decision by making him part of his band...RIP both John & Prince
No need to be sorry cause it's the TRUTH lol Mr. John Blackwell was the baddest drummer I every since in my life no one come close to John in my opinion he was FUNKY & was a PHENOMENAL PERFORMER he is truly missed RIP BEAUTIFUL SOUL 🕊️💜🕊️💜

Игра классм, звук лажа.
Einmalig RIP
He was a phenomenal drummer, but here he hit the cymbals much to hard!
How was he dead in 43 very sinister music industry
Terrible drum sound, way too much overhead mics and not enough dum mics.
