Hands down, you no when Cj is on the set! No shots against anybody else, but it’s more of a god given gift, rather than a job, are fame, are praise, love him as a musician! Very inspirational! Turn ☝️Cj!
There are times that you scream jump and shout and then rare times like this where you just sit quietly replaying and listening to this rarity. Historical moments on this channel 🙏🏽🎁💯
I enjoy both drummers when they play the gig for John p kee. I have my favorite moments in songs with both drummers. Gabes stage presence and his animations with his skills is dope. Cj laid back chewing bubble gum or eating a blow pop while he destroys that set is amazing to watch too I can’t pick lol
CJ and Gabe just interpreted the music differently, listening to their two videos. He always makes everything look easy, but this is the probably the most chill I've ever seen CJ play. Gabe's version felt more wide open, but he was still in step with the music.
Gabe is waaaay more animated. It makes you think he is making it up as he goes lol Cj is more composed and he looks more focused. They both kill it in their own way which is nuts
I can't say who's better because Gabe and CJ are both great drummers but I will say that CJ is more laid back with it while Gabe is more hyped when playing drums. Both are great drummers if I might add!
Gabe hits the drums harder and uses direct strokes. Cj is more deceptive with, inverts ghost notes, and off timings. Both are amazing drummers. Can’t say one is better.
I’ll give the edge to Cj personally but Gabe a beast too. I feel when you get to a certain level it comes down to the style of play you prefer, not much to separate the guys at the top.
“I wrote this song” is a shot at Queen Naija bc her song sounds similar and there was a online uproar when she dropped it. Ima keep my opinion to myself tho. I love both artists
Brother I believe that he's just letting you know the work that he's done that was his work came from his mind through the mouth of God that's all I Believe in The name of Jesus God bless you
I gotta give it to Gabe & CJ both of them are amazing in their own way John P Kee has always had top notch drummer's but it's just something about Gabe & CJ whenever they are behind the kit it hits different 🥁🥁
You were spot on about the differences between them....obviously they have different playing styles because everyone is unique in their own way. You couldn't have explain it any better Josh
Both drummers are crazy Gifted! And have two different styles, however I believe that CJ is more relaxed which is why is seems like it comes effortlessly.. kinda remind me of Dennis Chambers “killing without a facial expression”
John P. Kee: “Turn the drums up!!” Me: *grabs sticks* As for your question, I don’t have an answer for you 😅 They’re both beastly drummers. As long as they love what they do, it’s all good.
Both Gabe and CJ are sick! I can't say who is better, but you can tell Gabe is really into it. It's like he has the Holy Ghost and is a real fan of the music and content.
Keep them coming i love these reaction video's. I believe there is No such thing as who is better. That's just subjective to one's own ear and what sounds pleasant to them. I like to look at the artist themselves they're painting their own canvas on whatever instrument they happen to be playing. Everyone's art is different and it's their own expression of what's inside them. I enjoyed the video love seeing and hearing these musicians and allow us to see their Art😊. Listen and appreciate it. However I should add that there are things you have to do to play to your fullest potential 😉.
Josh here’s the difference that I think is between the two CJ: is his chilling when he plays and He does licks to go into another Song Gabe: Just like we See he just straight on track and You Josh what I saw was after he plays a song he stops and waits like 5 seconds then goes into the next Song
Killer drumming!....but that bass player made me stop in my tracks. You know what? That choir...the guitarist...the keys...not a single person up there is doing anything average. Outstanding!
Cj and gabe are always in the conversation but i think y’all are forgetting stixxx ! we just can’t act like he isn’t that dude either when he plays with john p kee
Let that man adlib lol he wrote that song! Lol only in Gospel music lol I've heard that statement a few times on whole live recordings. Kurt Carr is notorious for that lol
No offence to anyone, but it's CJ by a mile. Gabe is a talented and perfectly capable drummer who still has a lot to learn in terms of the actual music. But CJ is more advanced in the way he actually digests the music and regurgitates it in his own way. I feel like Gabe is more show and CJ is more music and I know which one I'm taking every day of the week.
CJ is the church drummer and Gabe is the guest drummer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 On a real note, CJ is more smooth. It's almost like what he's playing is pre-calculated. Gabe is more aggressive. It's as if he's free styling. Both are great at the craft!!!
Both CJ and Gabe are dope.. but what i notice in this vid... MORGAN TURNER IS KILLING BASS... AAAND Cj is sitting above the toms... he normally sits low... i wonder if if was a different feeling with him sitting high
I wrote this song....John ...the reason why he says that is because it is an rnb song out there with the same melody and she took it from John ...just can't remember the song
Tony Russell, as great as he is, is not John P Kee's regular bassist. Morgan Turner, who is in the vid, is the regular bass player. Tony Russell KILLED when he was subbing tho! 🔥🔥 He made it seem like he had been on that gig for YEARS!
I think that CJ is a phenomenal drummer I haven’t heard Gabe so I can not speak to his abilities however there are 2 points that I dislike about CJ 1) often his videos the sound quality is poor I don’t always attribute this to CJ. I attribute this to whoever is recording him at the time bc when you place your phone or recording device make a tremendous difference on the sound quality of the recording and often the drums sound “meshed” together there is no or little distinction in the sounds and that really takes away from the overall quality and the concert experience itself. 2) He’s not a dynamics drummer meaning that every thing is LOUD always! CJ is phenomenal I know bc I’ve heard him live and I love him and have been a fan of John P Kee since the 90’s however dynamics distinguishes musicians from drummers. Billy Cobham is one of the most prolific and dynamic drummers of the modern era. He plays with awesome speed and power and you can hear every note. He can play softly with speed and distinction as well as loudly with distinction. That is my criticism. But again I love CJ for what he does. He hypes you up with his abilities and his energy.
I would respectfully disagree.. I've seen cj play in person and EVERY note he plays is dynamic, cameras dont cut it.. its mind boggling to see in person.
I WROTE THIS SONNGGGG 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He a clown for bringing that up😂😂
Just in case anybody was wondering lolololol
@@LegendaryMike Aye Man It ain’t bragging if you doin it lol
@@Akeeleez5 He Performed Hit That Cats Didn’t even know he wrote AND Performed
He probably did it knowing the label was gonna see it..
CJ is just his own competition..another level, another league.. just by himself… pff no words 💪🏽
Word!
CJ just doesn't run out of new ideas. It's crazy.
Hands down, you no when Cj is on the set! No shots against anybody else, but it’s more of a god given gift, rather than a job, are fame, are praise, love him as a musician! Very inspirational! Turn ☝️Cj!
CJ has a sound, he has a style that you could tell when he's playing...
Even the Devil can’t catch the strokes of CJ
CJ hit you with those “double take gotcha licks”
There are times that you scream jump and shout and then rare times like this where you just sit quietly replaying and listening to this rarity. Historical moments on this channel 🙏🏽🎁💯
Cj Cj Cj 🔥overall nobody does it better
CJ does what he does effortlessly, this is the first video of CJ I'm seeing without crazy solo and chops in it 🤣🤣
Because CJ is super versatile! He’s been playing for live recordings and on albums since he was a kid.

CJ Thompson diluar Galaxy

CJ moms leads the song on the album! Life and favor.
All I can say is they play what they know🤷🏾♂️💯🙅🏾♂️
John P. Kee keeps saying it, because Queen Naija song "Karma" used the same melody... And she claimed it was her own.. Look it up people
Niqqa.....YOU NOT TIREDDD?!!! Geessss!!!! Gonna practice after service.
I can't say who's better because Gabe and CJ are both great drummers but I will say that CJ is more laid back with it while Gabe is more hyped when playing drums. Both are great drummers if I might add!

Well Said Bruh 🤙🏾
That's perfect
I’ll give the edge to Cj personally but Gabe a beast too. I feel when you get to a certain level it comes down to the style of play you prefer, not much to separate the guys at the top.
Gabe got that fire underneath him though
“I wrote this song” is a shot at Queen Naija bc her song sounds similar and there was a online uproar when she dropped it. Ima keep my opinion to myself tho. I love both artists
I forgot about that lol
I know exactly wat u talkin about, Gabe is more of twitchy and a accent drummer while CJ makes it looks effortless
I like how calvin rodgers played personally
Man I'm about to say CJ on this one
CJ is still the best drummer ever
Thanks, Cj...
CJ Thompson is just UNFAIR!!! 🤣 He's an awesome drummer!
Jesus was in that pocket the WHOLE time...
Just legendary
CJ is the best!!!! CJ makes it look EASY… Like his DOES THiS thing lol
Brother I believe that he's just letting you know the work that he's done that was his work came from his mind through the mouth of God that's all I Believe in The name of Jesus God bless you
Pop quiz queen ninja 👀✨😩 but Cj win this one 💕
Shout to Paiste! Those were my first symbols ever, and I love the high pitch sound. They sound prettier than most other symbols!
I gotta give it to Gabe & CJ both of them are amazing in their own way John P Kee has always had top notch drummer's but it's just something about Gabe & CJ whenever they are behind the kit it hits different 🥁🥁
Ladell laid down the foundation for both of them……
You were spot on about the differences between them....obviously they have different playing styles because everyone is unique in their own way. You couldn't have explain it any better Josh
LIKE I BEEN SAYIN CJ IS THE BRUCE LEE IF DRUMMING! BE WATER MY FRIEND!!! HE ADAPTS TO ANY SINY UN HIS OWN STYLE!!
8:24 KEEEYYYYSSSSAAAAA 🎹
Lordt!!! 😖🔥🔥🔥
Effortless!!! king of this gig ngl🤦🏾♂️🎬🥁
King Karlo Koonely moment real quick!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
THIS BAND!!🔥🔥🔥
Both drummers are crazy Gifted! And have two different styles, however I believe that CJ is more relaxed which is why is seems like it comes effortlessly.. kinda remind me of Dennis Chambers “killing without a facial expression”
Why is the camera quality so good 😂
IMO: they're both very similar, but Gabe adds a bit more color and melodical. Uses a bit more dynamics (volume- crescendo/decrescendo in some parts.
They both serve the gig adequately if you ask me. One is more musical on the gig, other is more creative on the gig.
Cj the greatest
Morgan slidin on da bass Lawd 😩😩😩
John P. Kee: “Turn the drums up!!”
Me: *grabs sticks*
As for your question, I don’t have an answer for you 😅 They’re both beastly drummers. As long as they love what they do, it’s all good.

I enjoy Gabe creativity more . He adds plenty of flavor
Queen naija-karma that's what that last song sounded like. A gospel remix of the melody
He expressed the face that it’s his song because they made an R&B song out of it. Her name is Queen Naija. The song is called “Karma”
"I wrote this song!!"
Translation= Queen Naija pay me my respect and royalties 🤣🤣
He makes it look so easy
Josh here’s the difference that I think is between the two
CJ: is his chilling when he plays and He does licks to go into another Song
Gabe: Just like we See he just straight on track and You Josh what I saw was after he plays a song he stops and waits like 5 seconds then goes into the next Song
*Gabe for me personally with my preference playing style. The accents and the syncopated chops.*
How on Gods green earth setting it up at 8:00 but the fill is at 8:16 how did that start that way he goes off beat and then right back into it!?!?
CJ invented most of the transitions used in the gig
Killer drumming!....but that bass player made me stop in my tracks. You know what? That choir...the guitarist...the keys...not a single person up there is doing anything average. Outstanding!
Cj and gabe are always in the conversation but i think y’all are forgetting stixxx ! we just can’t act like he isn’t that dude either when he plays with john p kee
Everyone forgetting, Devon Taylor!!!😂😂
Devon Plays The Gig Like He’s Filling In . Not So Much Like He’s Owning That Gig . Just My Opinion lol
GIVE MEECHIE HIS FLOWERS
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Big facts, living legend
Meechie and Shelia. 😆
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't know man... this too much for me... 😂😂
Let that man adlib lol he wrote that song! Lol only in Gospel music lol I've heard that statement a few times on whole live recordings. Kurt Carr is notorious for that lol
8:15-9:06 OMGGGGG
Who angered the bass player😩🔥
They have different play style but I am 11 and I grew up watching cj so it has to be him
the best. brazil
The best drummer ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Morgan jammin
morgan killing
I think John P Kee announces that he wrote the song because people tend to believe it’s Marvin Sapps song.
lmfao listen to karma by queen naija. there was a big scandal with her stealing John's song.
@@bryandestine4476 He filed a lawsuit right?? I think he did.
@@bryandestine4476 rigg
Wow
Love the videos Doc…

hey Josh
I can't access your class website.
how can I do?
Greetings from Honduras
Can’t forget about Chris Kee!
NEVER 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I think he said he wrote the song because of that copyright infringement situation with ole girl on the R&B side that used the same melody and music.
He had/has an infringement lawsuit on Queen Naija for the song Karma.
CJ is the church drummer and Gabe is the guest drummer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
On a real note, CJ is more smooth. It's almost like what he's playing is pre-calculated. Gabe is more aggressive. It's as if he's free styling. Both are great at the craft!!!
Well put FACTS!!!
Both CJ and Gabe are dope.. but what i notice in this vid... MORGAN TURNER IS KILLING BASS... AAAND Cj is sitting above the toms... he normally sits low... i wonder if if was a different feeling with him sitting high
Devon nice 2
BRO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO'S BETTER. EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING UNIQUE TO BRING TO THE TABLE. STOP COMPARING MUSICIANS 🤦🤦🤦
Facts...... I am a partaker at new life and uncle John is my pastor . Thats a true story
damn
"Turn the drums off🤣"
Yoo Josh, you peeped how homie at 3:00 look like HaHa Davis?🤔🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣Yeeeoooo
Question what’s that Drum machine box that’s next to the drums?
It’s a Roland TM-6! It’s for triggering drums and etc
@@kenyonmusiq6330 thank You
I wrote this song....John ...the reason why he says that is because it is an rnb song out there with the same melody and she took it from John ...just can't remember the song
Lol you know why some one try to take in the R&B song
Am the second
Where is Tony russell?
Tony Russell, as great as he is, is not John P Kee's regular bassist. Morgan Turner, who is in the vid, is the regular bass player.
Tony Russell KILLED when he was subbing tho! 🔥🔥
He made it seem like he had been on that gig for YEARS!

Bro can you please make a video of I CAME TO JESUS by NEW DIRECTION Thanks😁
If it’s effortless and still sound phenomenal, why do all the extra?
They both tight. I think both played atleast one, maybe 2 songs better than the other but I do like some licks and transitions Gabe did better.
Josh please react to devskeeworldwide GABE BENNETT. AT RESSERECTION SERVICE VINCENT BOHANAN HE WILL MAKE U BRING OUT THE GUEST DRUMMER PLS REPLY
I personally think CJ was too relaxed on this...his energy wasn't all the way up! via TH-cam I've seen better from him.
