This is what truly put CJ CJ on the map on the map! I had to come back to this before I went into to church to play today lol needed some inspiration haha PLAY BOY!!!!
Goin through the comments.....why all these people talkin bout dude "overplaying" & "not gonna get gig this way"......first of all u hav to understand what a drum clinic is & its all about timing.....my dude CJ is a monster on dem drums & lik most that understand hav said HE DOESN'T HAV TO WORRY ABOUT GIGS....dude stay workin!!!!
Dude understands his timing ! He is so in tune with his subdivisions. He just goes and does what he wants, off beat licks and all, but knows how to get to the one !
It's CLEAR you have no clue where to look or understand drummers that have a background from church. 1. This is CJ's track 2. He's playing a clinic he's allowed to show off 3. If the band can count the drummer can go anywhere he wants as well as long as HE himself doesn't loose the 1! 4. CJ is a touring musician he does NOT always play like this he KNOWS pocket So CHILL with generalizing gospel drummers as overplaying immature musicians when the guys they studied are pocket masters
Foreal, he plays for john p kee, which is one of the coldest bands period. People who talk crazy about this guy really dont know what they're talking about. He knows when to show out and when to stay in the pocket
With all of the advances we have in technology, can someone please find a pair of sticks that can handle this man's talent? I swear he breaks a stick at least once per vid lol
its a clinic yoo...CHECK HIS RESUME, Cj STAAAAYSSS WORKING!!! i hate when ppl down talk niggas. First of all dont label CJ as just a gospel drummer, he plays for r&b artist also but he started in church. I take it personal when it comes to blood because i look up to my brother. GOHD
Man why is it that gospel drummee do way to much what happened to pocket grooves did everyone just forgot that a drummer keeps time lolol cause what hes doing is nice but wayyyyy to much that wont get u the gig. Timing and smooth grooves gets u the gig.
This is what truly put CJ CJ on the map on the map! I had to come back to this before I went into to church to play today lol needed some inspiration haha PLAY BOY!!!!

Great video. ☺ I saw this on my mum's computer a few months ago and I loved it.
CJ actually plays second kit for John P Keep now. Look up any newer videos and you'll see him and Chis playing/shedding
It's CLEAR you have no clue where to look or understand drummers that have a background from church.
1. This is CJ's track
2. He's playing a clinic he's allowed to show off
3. If the band can count the drummer can go anywhere he wants as well as long as HE himself doesn't loose the 1!
