Throwback!! Calvin Rodgers, Lawrence Jones and Tony Russell!!!

Throwback vid from a concert in Chicago, years ago!! The vid that’s been on TH-cam, has audio that cuts out in the middle. This one has it all the way through!! I think this is the “Praise 2 Choir” singing!

[@djcoolcliff]

I miss when drummers just played the pocket!!!!!!!!!

[@manb4war]

Nice and clean, this is why he stayed working. Young drummers take note this is what gets you paid.

[@iamCrwly]

When churches and musicians genuinely enjoyed each other company.

[@hdfloyd]

that's when you had a front row to the musicians without them being an a house or cage.

This why Calvin my fav. Anybody else would’ve cranked that snare to its limit

[@si1995gtnupe1997]

That snare lives very well at that tension! It’s one of my favorites in my collection since I got it in 2003.

[@1986Willstokes]

What type of snare is that

[@si1995gtnupe1997]

@@1986Willstokes: Tama Starclassic G Maple, 6”x14”. It’s a thirteen ply maple shell. This particular model is not manufactured anymore.

[@DevinMerriweather-n7v]

Yes

[@PKBassPlaya]

There is a video of Maurice Fitzgerald playing with a lil boy on drums at this same church. I've been looking for that video for years. The last time I saw it was in 2008-9 I guess. That groove was sick...

If you mean the one with the glitchy audio at one point, I have a copy of that video. It's an flv video though. I'll link you to all three of those videos from that day. I'll do it in a separate comment in case it gets blocked. They're all old and quirky but must haves nevertheless.
