(02:53):
to records and stuff like that, play along with records,
and then you know, at the age of eleven, just
one day just stepped out on faith and ever since

man of leadership, and also that follows visions very well.

That's who he is. Hey, man, I like that. I
like that. I love it. I love it. We're gonna
just touch a little bit about the church atmosphere because
it's where our upbringing it was basically started at. So
I was reading some of your bio. You started in
(03:53):
you in the Church of God in Christ. You played
for the church you started in the church you got
in Christ.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Right, Yes, Sir, Minnesota, the ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, uh shouts out to uh. Bishop
Bronson out here in the ecclesiastical little jurisdiction for Las Vegas.
He's a man of God, really man of I really like,

I really loved. Actually he spoke word weren't to my
life when I was a little kid, you know. And
now he's like basically here living his dream right now.
He's the ecclesiast school bishop of uh you state of Nevada.
So I'm really proud of what he's doing in this
(04:47):
atmosphere of Las Vegas. UH, for the state of Nevada.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So he's the one that succeeded. Bishop is a bishop

He's really awesome Bishop. And his his parent is a
(05:24):
line of members. Speaking of that, my uncle, administrative assistant
Mason and all of the Bishop Mary. I really thank
God for them people, all of them spoken to my life.
It's a great cloud of witnesses that I can really say.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
That that really knows the word and and speaking of the.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Word you know, and I know you know that word
you know, you know, And not a lot of musicians
you know are into that word you know. But it's
a good feeling and a great feeling to know that
I know that you study that work.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yes I'm a little bit off here and there, but
it's also good to you know, glans size scriptures daily,
if not maybe once a day or twice a day.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Awesome, yes, yes, yes so far as of uh how
was your uh uh adventure? And now this year.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Wow. With with this being my first time going to now,
it was an eye opener for me. It's it's like
it's like playing Candyland in real life for musicians, you
know the game Candyland. So for for me, my objective
(07:13):
of going to now was to not see the latest
gear because that's what they have music stores for my
My goal was to network with people that's not from
(07:35):
my area. Right being able to rub elbows. I was
blessed to talk with Teddy Campbell and Elder Billy Powell,
another not Billy Powell. Yeah, that Billy Powell, the drummer. Yes, okay,
(08:00):
another Koji born bred guy. Cool guy. And what I
shared with them with both is as of this year,
the second month you know of the new year, I
expanded and increased my tithes and offerings and that was
(08:21):
the only thing, you know, that was the good news
that I literally shared with the both of them, because
plus I know both of them are Christians and their believers,
and I never felt so much embraced from two giants,
you know. The elder Billy Powell shook my hand and
(08:43):
told me God is going to do something great at now.
Oh so for me, that that was that was the
best experience. Of course, Eric Moore was there, Greg Clark Junior,
Glenn Gibson Junior, Marcus Millard, Jonathan Butler, it was it
(09:04):
was just so many all yeah, my homeboy, Jason Betts
from Kansas City. But it was just it was a
great experience. And I do plan on going back in
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Oh yeah, definitely, definitely, it's gonna be a great experience.
I'm definitely gonna be there that next year. It's gonna
be totally different from what you've seen this year. I'm
gonna let you know that because Okay, a lot of
(09:38):
people from across the world, across the planet, you know,
just just coming together. That's a great experience. So the people,
the people that you've seen this year, you're gonna see
more than the people that you see like this year,
you gonna see next year you will see the double
(10:01):
the mouth.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And I'm very excited about that new opportunity, new platform,
you know, a new platform of exposure and a good light.
You know that those type of events if it doesn't
(10:27):
make you, but it will, it will force you to
put on humbleness because all of us, by God's graves,
we we shouldn't we shouldn't be where we are now,
but God saw fit for us to be in places,
(10:48):
in certain places at the right time.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You're right about that. I'm I'm very excited about my experience.
I'm about to approach and next month on the Lengh
gm w A is going to be having their uh meeting.
I guess out here in Vegas is I guess it's
(11:12):
been ten years. I guess since they've been here from
from the Moving Nugget it was. It's gonna be a
great experience. So uh, uh being the plaza that Sunday
night on the ninth, it's gonna be own and popping.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Man. That's that's awesome. Now are you going to be playing?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So yeah, definitely, definitely I'm gonna be there planning for
uh the Silver State chapter that's Las Vegas, Nevada Gospel
Music Workshop of America. So I've been playing for this
chapter out here.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Okay, now I should be asking you for your autograph.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Bro, There's nothing there, ain't nothing but God, you know,
seem fit for me just to be at the right
place at the right time. You know, there's a lot
of musicians there and a lot of drummers that been
in my place. But I'm just thankful that he's seeing
the opportunity for me to just hold that spot for
(12:26):
uh these ump of years, probably going on probably like
six or seven years now, you know, with the soldier,
cut it out, cut it out, cut it out. I
got cut it out. Now, far as the experience with Soult,
(12:48):
how are you liking that experience?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
To be honest with you, It's never a dull moment
any time, any time when there's opportunity for opportunity, you go,
you go for what you know, I've been with Low
Tone for a very long time. I can truly say
(13:14):
the generosity, their their love, the love that they have
for their artists as a collective right it is. You know,
not to bash companies, but most companies are more about
(13:37):
promoting the product, But at Soul Tone, they're more concerned
at hey, are you okay, how's everything doing?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
What do you need?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's that's what I That's what I be getting from
soult one. So I mean, I enjoy it. It's been
a good ride so far, and I am planning on
going back. I can't say, but I'm going back April
twenty second to do two drum videos.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Wow, that's gonna be amazing. Yeah, that's gonna be great.
And it's gonna be really amazing. Just to be in
the eyesight of the engineers that's over there, Ikey and
Tomer and all of our family that's over there, you know, Laura,
you know, it's a great, great experience just to be
(14:28):
with them. You know, every time that I stepped foot
in that studio, it's a it's a great experience, you know.
You know, the last time I stepped foot over there
was the pandemic. You know, I basically couldn't even go
into doors. I basically could have only go to the
(14:52):
door and by the symols and going out. You know,
now you can go in there and walk in and
say hello, Low And you know, because of that pandemic
had messed up a lot of stuff, you know, And
you know what I'm saying, right.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'm looking forward to to another opportunity to go and
back up the pair and you know, you know, you know,
rubbing shoulders with the brothers that's up and the sisters
that's up there, and it's a great opportunity. I'm just
letting the world know that, yes, we do have a
lot of artists. But you know, Sol Tone is a
(15:34):
great uh company to build your your brand and their
brand together, you know, because I've been with him for
over a decade right now, bro same here, and I'm
like truly grateful to say, uh, I've been with so
(15:58):
tune with over ten years in County and they haven't
treated me, you know, any different, you know, So I
see that I'm gonna be with them for quite some
time because my my sound is has changed and that
(16:21):
sound has been a great sound. You know what I'm saying.
I love my sound. You know, I got a lot
of symbols through them, especially the fx O. What you
say about that fx Oh you like that FXO?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I heard, I heard it, but personally I never played it.
And I'm pretty sure I'm going to get me one
just because you have shared and that you have mentioned it,
so I.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Will be yet. Yeah, that FO is not no joke,
I'm telling you, bro, I'm telling you it's like that.
That sound is like crisp and it's like our moment,
you know, especially when I'm you know, planning for the
services and stuff like that. You can like listen to
(17:14):
some of my videos that are you know, uh recorded
stuff like that, you know, and just the sound when
I play with those symbols, it's like like no other
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, there are a lot of
symbols that's out there, but you know, I haven't found
(17:36):
one yet that's any better yet. You know, they say
that we are the lowest on the totem pole, but
you know, we got a lot of artists that's out
there and making things happen. You know that that's a
blessing to say.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
That, And and the saying is you know, for for
drummers and percussion, and it's how you play your instrument basically,
it's you know, it's from how you buy your sticks,
how you select your drums, your drumheads, what type of
(18:14):
drumheads saying the same thing, it's how you select your
symbols to find your sound. You know, all the symbol
lines are great from soul too, but I would say
it's how you pick hand pick your symbols to define
your sound. Yes, because I'm pretty sure your sound is
(18:41):
a lot different from a lot of drummers in Las
Vegas because of the symbols you play, the sticks you.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Play, how you tune your drums. You know, Yeah, you're
right about that. You're definitely right. You know, the sounds
totally different. You know. I like that Chris sound and
when it comes to symbols, when it comes to drums,
(19:09):
I like that, uh that that oak, you know, that
maple oak. You know my my um set that pd
T b W is a mak So that sound I love.
I've been I'm dealing with I've been playing that kid
for quite some time. And I was so surprised that uh,
(19:34):
the church that I was born in, my uncle administrative assistant,
my Pastor Mason, he had stepped up the plate. And
now Pastor Kelly, they got the same kid that I
(19:54):
have in my my studio. Okay, the d P P
P d W. Yes, Yes, the seventh piece. It's it's
a nice it's a nice kit. And the trip part
about it, it's the same color that I had got.
You know, it's a great, great color red on red
(20:17):
and black on black, red and black. There you go.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You sat in the trying. Oh yeah, now you even know.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I didn't even know it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You you you said you're setting up. You're setting up
transfer greatness.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You right for the people that's that's coming up behind us.
And you you know, we always got a set, set
something for the people that's coming behind us because of yes,
we started with the three piece over there. Now it's
it's a seven piece over there. So it's a excellent kit. Man,
(20:59):
I'm telling you, ridiculous, really ridiculous. What type of you
do you use? Besides what type of sticks do you
to use? And what side you use?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Okay, so right now I am using, I'm using different
miscellaneous sticks up under five A and five B. Sometimes
by my tip, the tips I prefer it is either
a round ball tip or a barrel tip. I just
(21:40):
it happened. A couple a few weeks ago, I picked
up a pair of sticks from from Now at the
Arc Drumstick booth at the NAM show Beatosares. I fell
in love with the Cali Boy five. It's a five
(22:03):
a drumstick with the ball tip, and it just felt
it was smooth like budget while I was playing. But
I cried when I broke the stick. I ain't even
gonna lie to you. Wow, yes, yes, yes, But with
(22:24):
with me playing with a lot of precision and power,
I prefer like a heavy stick, a beefy stick, you
know that will that will last me a good minute.
But the Cali Boy five from Arc Drumsticks, I was
definitely gonna be buying those here pretty soon, even at
(22:48):
the at the Las Vegas Drum Show if he has
them there, so I will be purchasing those and I
will be using those. But I'm using miscellaneous sticks for
right now.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now, I'm gonna have to put something in your ear.
If you haven't tried them, you had to try my
signature sticks from More Drums bro It's called More Drumsticks.
Go to More Drumsticks dot com and look on the
(23:20):
Artists series and you will see my signature sticks. Now
if you can't uh tap and purchase it from the website.
You know, basically you know you know me, So basically
call me and I'll call the the person that's making
(23:45):
my sticks and we can have those sticks sent to you.
And you know, just the price of the sticks is
not a bad price because I have my sticks to
where they are they are they have weights in them.
(24:08):
Did you know that? No, they have weights weights. Seriously, waits,
they have weights in the back of my sticks to
where it's light in the hands. You can't even tell
that they you playing uh sticks. Basically the way I
(24:29):
choose my sticks in the I said, putting my weights
at such and such on the stick. And that's basically
what I've been planning for going on four and a
half years, going on four to five years right now
(24:51):
with more drumsticks.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
All right, I just wrote that down, So I'm gonna
I'm gonna definitely check it out when I grab the time.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, rum sticks dot com. Yeah, and look under the
Artists series and my face was should show up and
you look under and you find my sticks under there,
and basically you you can purchase my sticks from there,
and then there's a lot of sticks this out there.
(25:22):
I played with quite a few.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
But.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Hm, they showed me love at more drum sticks. So
as soon as I started playing with them, I just
fell in love with them. I was like, Wow, I
like the sticks so exactly, very very soft. And like, say,
(25:48):
for instance, have you ever had a tendency to where
when you playing with your sticks and you drop them
mm hmmm and they fall out again or whatever, Like
if you play with my stakes or whatever, you can
have my sticks with like a type of a seal
(26:14):
on your sticks and they will. You can hold them
in your hands and they will. They will not fall
in your hands. You no no gloves or nothing.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, it's a great experience.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Man, that's awesome. I'm happy for you.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Man.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You're doing some awesome things in the greater Las Vegas
metropolitan areas.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Oh yeah, them grinding. I'm trying to trying to grind
and make things happen. Shouts out to my engineer that's
listening in right now. I'm Jerry Royd's Live. I thank
him for just uh making things happen on the Yes, sir, Yes, sir,
(27:01):
He's making things happen over there in Baltimore. He's making
things happen. And we're all over you in Once City
on the east coast, and I'm over on the west
coast right now, right and little means Midwest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(27:25):
you're not middle Bro, you're making things happen.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Bro. Tell me, I'm just I'm just Philip. That's all.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
My brother's say. I'm just Philip. God is using you.
That's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yes, I'm not. I'm not taking it lightly. You know that.
The main thing I've learned in the game is to
be humble. Okay, yeah, that's the main thing. Because one
thing I've found out, the late Ricky Lawson once said,
(28:06):
anybody can get called, but the main thing is you
get called back. That's up. So the best thing I've
learned how to do is be who I am to
get the call back. It's a great thing. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I don't like stuff like musicians that to where they
two cocky, to where you can't call them or you
can't shake your hands, shake their hands, or you know,
you can't you know, that's that's that's that's that's a
little bit too much for me.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Yea is smelling themselves before her or as they said, exactly,
you're right, yeah, they're smelling themselves and it's not it's
not a good look because at the end of the day,
(29:13):
it makes you look real crazy. At the end of
the day, it makes you look real crazy. My pet
peeve as the musician, is when I'm playing, another drummer
try to tell me how to play while I'm playing.
That's the most aggravating pet peeve effort. It makes me
(29:37):
want to hop off the set and round house kicked
the guy. But but at the end of the day,
it makes like it really it really makes you want
to do that. But at the end of the day,
you have to remain who you are no matter what
(29:59):
what the circum stances bring. And that's what makes me
who I am is I'm cool, clean, humble, I'm not
feeling myself and I'm not full. I'm not full of myself,
and at the end of the day, I'm a good
(30:22):
person away from the instrument, so that that's the main thing.
You know, playing music and playing drums, it's a cool thing.
It's very cool. It's fun when you're with the right people.
But at the end of the day, it's all about
being a good person and being a blessing to those
(30:45):
and being able to minister to the people through the
gift of music.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Amen, you're right about that. Yes, its not all about you,
So I'm not all about you. It's all about ministring
and bleach your souls and that's that's the main thing.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
And most likely you know you have you have to
remove self out the way before you play, no matter what,
no matter what the circumstance is, you have to move
self out the way because if you don't move self
out the way, then you lose yourself. Basically, you may
(31:31):
have a bad day. You probably end up taking that
out on somebody who's really needing a breakthrough that's on
the verge of collapse scene. So it's always important for
musicians before you hop on your instrument, even singers, to
(31:52):
remove to pray and ask God to remove self out
the way so he can get the glory, not us.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Come on, now, come on, now, that's what happens when
when I'm around my pastor, Bishop John Mark Johnson.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
You know he's also a musician. He's the jurisdictional Prelate
for Missouri Western second Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, of the Church of
God in Christ.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Amazing. I love it. I love it. That's really suching
that you can just touch hands, you know. Yeah, he
can speak down and speak to you like that and
then encourage you daily. You know, that's a blessing, really blessing,
great blessing.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
The first of the first sermon I remember my pastor
preaching is out of the Book of Psalms Things Psalms
ninety or Psalms ninety one. It's a good thing to
give thanks onto the Lord. So every day, even though
(33:03):
if I don't say it vocally, I'm saying it in
my head. Every day is a good day to give thanks.
Even when I'm playing, even when I'm working with musicians
that's you know, prideful and arrogant and full of themselves
or whatever tip they wearing on their shoulder. At that
point in time, I always had to remain humble and
(33:25):
calm and remind myself it's always a good thing to
give thanks because a lot of musicians, yeah they can play,
we don't take that away from them. But also at
the same time, the anointy, the way you approach your instrument,
how you impact the people, that's the main thing is
(33:48):
how you impact and how you leave an imprint in
a positive life.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
That's great. That's great, that's great. You know, speaking of
pastors and everything, I would like to give out shots
to Paster Kelly and pastor doctor rose A.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Car and.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Pastor Mason, Pastor Dots and Barker, Pastor Jackie Barker, Pastor
Jackson g Op. These are all of the people's that
that's in my life that's been close to me. And
(34:37):
you know that I can say that I uh that
has really encouraged me when I was down when I
was and our pastor kel Ker, pastor, there's a lot
of pastors that showed love to me. But I really
thank you for the for these people that that just
(34:58):
not been there and done that and just I don't know,
just you know, just just said I'm here regardless, especially uh,
the pastors that I have right now in Jesus Man. Yes,
(35:18):
okay man.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
You you just you just spoke. You just spoke an
artist roster of preachers of Clark County.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
That's all over the world, that's actually all over the world.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Okay, forgive me, forgive me.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
You know, to take it out. That's from Clark County
and all over the world, you know, you know, basically,
but I'm just thankful, you know, for that, you know,
and it's just it's a blessing, you know, and just
to say that. But you know, I'm gonna mess with
you right now because I you know, there's some questions.
There's probably one or two questions I need to ask you.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Okay, let's let's go be bro.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's the question. We talked about it earlier. Okay, bro. Uh.
There's not a lot of ministers that's not like you.
You understand what understanding that that can do what you're doing.
You're not just the drummer. You're people that a person
(36:32):
that guides and help the people that need help as
far as off people that pass. You know, you understand
what I'm saying. So in that ministry, how is that
a ministry? How do you like? How did you like that?
(36:55):
Or how do you like doing that? Well, let's not
everybody can do that? Not everybody do that?
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Yes, yes, sir, you are absolutely right. I must say,
all right, I like it. And the reason why I
say I like it is I'm able to serve.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
That that that that that's the main thing. So when
I when I see leaders like my pastor Bishop john
Mark Johnson, UH, pastor Ricky Turner from oak Ridge Baptist
of Kansas City, Kansas.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
UH.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Even to the presiding Bishop J. Drew sheard, all I
see is served.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Yeah, how can I How can I serve this family
in the time an hour of their bereavement? And sometimes
even Bishop Johnson told me this while he was preaching
a sermon. Sometimes just being there without saying nothing, you know,
(38:11):
it can be can be a blessing, is a blessing.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
You know. You don't have to say too much, you
don't have to do too much, but just your presence
of alone says a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
You're right, You're right, you're right. You're right about that.
You know, like say, for instance, like like I could
just uh play you know, a few songs on a
snare or whatever or set of drums that that means
a lot, you know, and not acting nothing that helps
(38:48):
a lot. Yes, Yeah, so that's a blessing. That's truly
a blessing. I'm not gonna be good. I'm gonna be good.
I'm this thing.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
You mids will just keep keep it going.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Bro shouts out to vicious seal. Uh that uh, and
Gideons memorials. Uh. Let me see my other brother Andre.
(39:28):
They all have martuaries that's out here, especially uh, the
Gideon Memorial Chapel. You know, they they like family to
me because I played in their church before Unity Baptists.
So they got like a piece of my heart, you know, right,
(39:49):
you know every time I see them, you know, they
like show nothing but love, and it seemed like it
just pours out on them, you know, just because you know,
it's not just because of what they're doing, is just
how they're doing, and they show it, you know, you
know intentionally, you know, like like it's like there, you know,
(40:11):
I'm like, man, what did I do to deserve all
the love?
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Just be who you are?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Mm hmm yeah, you're right, Just be who you are.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
And you know the thing about it is being humble
and just observing of what to do and what not
to do. You're right about that because I've seen a
lot of videos and.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
And stuff are not not you know, you know, people
are not handling the casket rights.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Oh my goods, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
So I know you know what to do. I know
you know what to do.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
So it's a technique to that I know, So I
don't want to know the technique, but I thank you
guys for what you guys are doing, you know, because
that that's an art, just like we have an art
to music. You know, it's a craft. You know. So
keep on doing, keep on doing what you're doing, and
God is going to really bless you guys for doing that,
(41:35):
you know daily.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Yeah, keep on doing that. So before we close our show,
what do you have to say to the world. We're
speaking over to one hundred and fifty countries right now.
What do you have to say? Positive?
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Okay, so all my one hundred and fifty countries that's
tuned into the show, I just wanna just want to say,
whatever you do, do everything with excellence one hundred percent.
Let's take that. What is one hundred percent? Everybody talks
(42:16):
about keeping it one hundred Everybody talks about one hundred
this and one hundred that. But the main thing is
having the mindset, having the discipline of putting out one
hundred percent daily, whether you feel like it or where
(42:39):
you don't feel like it. That's where your results, your
positive results will come. Even in the Book of Proverbs,
I'm not going to say all the scriptures and all
the verses, but read Book of Proverbs.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
It channels you.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
It guides you from what to do, what to say,
what not to say, how to have a good name
while you're producing one hundred percent. Also it teaches you
how to handle business and teach you how to be balanced,
because a false balance is abomination in God's eyes. But
(43:29):
the main thing is to be to have a structure
and a solid based balance and producing one hundred percent.
So all I got to tell you to all on
one hundred and fifty countries that's listening right now, including
the United States. Whatever you do, whatever you do, whether
(43:52):
you feel like it or not, you always push for
one hundred percent because at the end of the day,
you're not gonna get a good job, you're not going
to get a pat on the back, you're not even
gonna get a fifth bump. But always remember God sees it,
and that's where your blessing is going to be. Always
(44:14):
produced with one with the mentality of one hundred percent.

little bit about yourself. My brother, Okay, who.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Is Philip Butler, the third musician uh from Chicago, Illinois.
Grew up in Minneapolis, got my training, you know, my
my stomping grounds, boot camps, started in church, you know everything,
you know, household gospel, start creating toy drum sets, listening
(02:53):
to records and stuff like that, play along with records,
and then you know, at the age of eleven, just
one day just stepped out on faith and ever since
then hadn't looked back. But Philip Butler is not just
(03:13):
only a musician, but he's also uh a man, a
man of leadership, and also that follows visions very well.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
That's who he is. Hey, man, I like that. I
like that. I love it. I love it. We're gonna
just touch a little bit about the church atmosphere because
it's where our upbringing it was basically started at. So
I was reading some of your bio. You started in
(03:53):
you in the Church of God in Christ. You played
for the church you started in the church you got
in Christ.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Right, Yes, Sir, Minnesota, the ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, uh shouts out to uh. Bishop
Bronson out here in the ecclesiastical little jurisdiction for Las Vegas.
He's a man of God, really man of I really like,
(04:24):
I really loved. Actually he spoke word weren't to my
life when I was a little kid, you know. And
now he's like basically here living his dream right now.
He's the ecclesiast school bishop of uh you state of Nevada.
So I'm really proud of what he's doing in this
(04:47):
atmosphere of Las Vegas. UH, for the state of Nevada.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So he's the one that succeeded. Bishop is a bishop
of Leon.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Smith Smith. Okay, yes, yes, Mattha LeAnn Smith had left us.
He's the one taken over. Yes, Okay, awesome Bishop, awesome vision.
He's really awesome Bishop. And his his parent is a
(05:24):
line of members. Speaking of that, my uncle, administrative assistant
Mason and all of the Bishop Mary. I really thank
God for them people, all of them spoken to my life.
It's a great cloud of witnesses that I can really say.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
That that really knows the word and and speaking of the.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Word you know, and I know you know that word
you know, you know, And not a lot of musicians
you know are into that word you know. But it's
a good feeling and a great feeling to know that
I know that you study that work.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yes I'm a little bit off here and there, but
it's also good to you know, glans size scriptures daily,
if not maybe once a day or twice a day.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Awesome, yes, yes, yes so far as of uh how
was your uh uh adventure? And now this year.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Wow. With with this being my first time going to now,
it was an eye opener for me. It's it's like
it's like playing Candyland in real life for musicians, you
know the game Candyland. So for for me, my objective
(07:13):
of going to now was to not see the latest
gear because that's what they have music stores for my
My goal was to network with people that's not from
(07:35):
my area. Right being able to rub elbows. I was
blessed to talk with Teddy Campbell and Elder Billy Powell,
another not Billy Powell. Yeah, that Billy Powell, the drummer. Yes, okay,
(08:00):
another Koji born bred guy. Cool guy. And what I
shared with them with both is as of this year,
the second month you know of the new year, I
expanded and increased my tithes and offerings and that was
(08:21):
the only thing, you know, that was the good news
that I literally shared with the both of them, because
plus I know both of them are Christians and their believers,
and I never felt so much embraced from two giants,
you know. The elder Billy Powell shook my hand and
(08:43):
told me God is going to do something great at now.
Oh so for me, that that was that was the
best experience. Of course, Eric Moore was there, Greg Clark Junior,
Glenn Gibson Junior, Marcus Millard, Jonathan Butler, it was it
(09:04):
was just so many all yeah, my homeboy, Jason Betts
from Kansas City. But it was just it was a
great experience. And I do plan on going back in
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Oh yeah, definitely, definitely, it's gonna be a great experience.
I'm definitely gonna be there that next year. It's gonna
be totally different from what you've seen this year. I'm
gonna let you know that because Okay, a lot of
(09:38):
people from across the world, across the planet, you know,
just just coming together. That's a great experience. So the people,
the people that you've seen this year, you're gonna see
more than the people that you see like this year,
you gonna see next year you will see the double
(10:01):
the mouth.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And I'm very excited about that new opportunity, new platform,
you know, a new platform of exposure and a good light.
You know that those type of events if it doesn't
(10:27):
make you, but it will, it will force you to
put on humbleness because all of us, by God's graves,
we we shouldn't we shouldn't be where we are now,
but God saw fit for us to be in places,
(10:48):
in certain places at the right time.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You're right about that. I'm I'm very excited about my experience.
I'm about to approach and next month on the Lengh
gm w A is going to be having their uh meeting.
I guess out here in Vegas is I guess it's
(11:12):
been ten years. I guess since they've been here from
from the Moving Nugget it was. It's gonna be a
great experience. So uh, uh being the plaza that Sunday
night on the ninth, it's gonna be own and popping.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Man. That's that's awesome. Now are you going to be playing?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So yeah, definitely, definitely I'm gonna be there planning for
uh the Silver State chapter that's Las Vegas, Nevada Gospel
Music Workshop of America. So I've been playing for this
chapter out here.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Okay, now I should be asking you for your autograph.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Bro, There's nothing there, ain't nothing but God, you know,
seem fit for me just to be at the right
place at the right time. You know, there's a lot
of musicians there and a lot of drummers that been
in my place. But I'm just thankful that he's seeing
the opportunity for me to just hold that spot for
(12:26):
uh these ump of years, probably going on probably like
six or seven years now, you know, with the soldier,
cut it out, cut it out, cut it out. I
got cut it out. Now, far as the experience with Soult,
(12:48):
how are you liking that experience?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
To be honest with you, It's never a dull moment
any time, any time when there's opportunity for opportunity, you go,
you go for what you know, I've been with Low
Tone for a very long time. I can truly say
(13:14):
the generosity, their their love, the love that they have
for their artists as a collective right it is. You know,
not to bash companies, but most companies are more about
(13:37):
promoting the product, But at Soul Tone, they're more concerned
at hey, are you okay, how's everything doing?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
What do you need?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's that's what I That's what I be getting from
soult one. So I mean, I enjoy it. It's been
a good ride so far, and I am planning on
going back. I can't say, but I'm going back April
twenty second to do two drum videos.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Wow, that's gonna be amazing. Yeah, that's gonna be great.
And it's gonna be really amazing. Just to be in
the eyesight of the engineers that's over there, Ikey and
Tomer and all of our family that's over there, you know, Laura,
you know, it's a great, great experience just to be
(14:28):
with them. You know, every time that I stepped foot
in that studio, it's a it's a great experience, you know.
You know, the last time I stepped foot over there
was the pandemic. You know, I basically couldn't even go
into doors. I basically could have only go to the
(14:52):
door and by the symols and going out. You know,
now you can go in there and walk in and
say hello, Low And you know, because of that pandemic
had messed up a lot of stuff, you know, And
you know what I'm saying, right.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'm looking forward to to another opportunity to go and
back up the pair and you know, you know, you know,
rubbing shoulders with the brothers that's up and the sisters
that's up there, and it's a great opportunity. I'm just
letting the world know that, yes, we do have a
lot of artists. But you know, Sol Tone is a
(15:34):
great uh company to build your your brand and their
brand together, you know, because I've been with him for
over a decade right now, bro same here, and I'm
like truly grateful to say, uh, I've been with so
(15:58):
tune with over ten years in County and they haven't
treated me, you know, any different, you know, So I
see that I'm gonna be with them for quite some
time because my my sound is has changed and that
(16:21):
sound has been a great sound. You know what I'm saying.
I love my sound. You know, I got a lot
of symbols through them, especially the fx O. What you
say about that fx Oh you like that FXO?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I heard, I heard it, but personally I never played it.
And I'm pretty sure I'm going to get me one
just because you have shared and that you have mentioned it,
so I.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Will be yet. Yeah, that FO is not no joke,
I'm telling you, bro, I'm telling you it's like that.
That sound is like crisp and it's like our moment,
you know, especially when I'm you know, planning for the
services and stuff like that. You can like listen to
(17:14):
some of my videos that are you know, uh recorded
stuff like that, you know, and just the sound when
I play with those symbols, it's like like no other
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, there are a lot of
symbols that's out there, but you know, I haven't found
(17:36):
one yet that's any better yet. You know, they say
that we are the lowest on the totem pole, but
you know, we got a lot of artists that's out
there and making things happen. You know that that's a
blessing to say.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
That, And and the saying is you know, for for
drummers and percussion, and it's how you play your instrument basically,
it's you know, it's from how you buy your sticks,
how you select your drums, your drumheads, what type of
(18:14):
drumheads saying the same thing, it's how you select your
symbols to find your sound. You know, all the symbol
lines are great from soul too, but I would say
it's how you pick hand pick your symbols to define
your sound. Yes, because I'm pretty sure your sound is
(18:41):
a lot different from a lot of drummers in Las
Vegas because of the symbols you play, the sticks you.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Play, how you tune your drums. You know, Yeah, you're
right about that. You're definitely right. You know, the sounds
totally different. You know. I like that Chris sound and
when it comes to symbols, when it comes to drums,
(19:09):
I like that, uh that that oak, you know, that
maple oak. You know my my um set that pd
T b W is a mak So that sound I love.
I've been I'm dealing with I've been playing that kid
for quite some time. And I was so surprised that uh,
(19:34):
the church that I was born in, my uncle administrative assistant,
my Pastor Mason, he had stepped up the plate. And
now Pastor Kelly, they got the same kid that I
(19:54):
have in my my studio. Okay, the d P P
P d W. Yes, Yes, the seventh piece. It's it's
a nice it's a nice kit. And the trip part
about it, it's the same color that I had got.
You know, it's a great, great color red on red
(20:17):
and black on black, red and black. There you go.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You sat in the trying. Oh yeah, now you even know.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I didn't even know it.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You you you said you're setting up. You're setting up
transfer greatness.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You right for the people that's that's coming up behind us.
And you you know, we always got a set, set
something for the people that's coming behind us because of yes,
we started with the three piece over there. Now it's
it's a seven piece over there. So it's a excellent kit. Man,
(20:59):
I'm telling you, ridiculous, really ridiculous. What type of you
do you use? Besides what type of sticks do you
to use? And what side you use?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Okay, so right now I am using, I'm using different
miscellaneous sticks up under five A and five B. Sometimes
by my tip, the tips I prefer it is either
a round ball tip or a barrel tip. I just
(21:40):
it happened. A couple a few weeks ago, I picked
up a pair of sticks from from Now at the
Arc Drumstick booth at the NAM show Beatosares. I fell
in love with the Cali Boy five. It's a five
(22:03):
a drumstick with the ball tip, and it just felt
it was smooth like budget while I was playing. But
I cried when I broke the stick. I ain't even
gonna lie to you. Wow, yes, yes, yes, But with
(22:24):
with me playing with a lot of precision and power,
I prefer like a heavy stick, a beefy stick, you
know that will that will last me a good minute.
But the Cali Boy five from Arc Drumsticks, I was
definitely gonna be buying those here pretty soon, even at
(22:48):
the at the Las Vegas Drum Show if he has
them there, so I will be purchasing those and I
will be using those. But I'm using miscellaneous sticks for
right now.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now, I'm gonna have to put something in your ear.
If you haven't tried them, you had to try my
signature sticks from More Drums bro It's called More Drumsticks.
Go to More Drumsticks dot com and look on the
(23:20):
Artists series and you will see my signature sticks. Now
if you can't uh tap and purchase it from the website.
You know, basically you know you know me, So basically
call me and I'll call the the person that's making
(23:45):
my sticks and we can have those sticks sent to you.
And you know, just the price of the sticks is
not a bad price because I have my sticks to
where they are they are they have weights in them.
(24:08):
Did you know that? No, they have weights weights. Seriously, waits,
they have weights in the back of my sticks to
where it's light in the hands. You can't even tell
that they you playing uh sticks. Basically the way I
(24:29):
choose my sticks in the I said, putting my weights
at such and such on the stick. And that's basically
what I've been planning for going on four and a
half years, going on four to five years right now
(24:51):
with more drumsticks.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
All right, I just wrote that down, So I'm gonna
I'm gonna definitely check it out when I grab the time.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, rum sticks dot com. Yeah, and look under the
Artists series and my face was should show up and
you look under and you find my sticks under there,
and basically you you can purchase my sticks from there,
and then there's a lot of sticks this out there.
(25:22):
I played with quite a few.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
But.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Hm, they showed me love at more drum sticks. So
as soon as I started playing with them, I just
fell in love with them. I was like, Wow, I
like the sticks so exactly, very very soft. And like, say,
(25:48):
for instance, have you ever had a tendency to where
when you playing with your sticks and you drop them
mm hmmm and they fall out again or whatever, Like
if you play with my stakes or whatever, you can
have my sticks with like a type of a seal
(26:14):
on your sticks and they will. You can hold them
in your hands and they will. They will not fall
in your hands. You no no gloves or nothing.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, it's a great experience.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Man, that's awesome. I'm happy for you.

on the east coast, and I'm over on the west
coast right now, right and little means Midwest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(27:25):
you're not middle Bro, you're making things happen.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Bro. Tell me, I'm just I'm just Philip. That's all.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
My brother's say. I'm just Philip. God is using you.
That's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yes, I'm not. I'm not taking it lightly. You know that.
The main thing I've learned in the game is to
be humble. Okay, yeah, that's the main thing. Because one
thing I've found out, the late Ricky Lawson once said,
(28:06):
anybody can get called, but the main thing is you
get called back. That's up. So the best thing I've
learned how to do is be who I am to
get the call back. It's a great thing. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I don't like stuff like musicians that to where they
two cocky, to where you can't call them or you
can't shake your hands, shake their hands, or you know,
you can't you know, that's that's that's that's that's a
little bit too much for me.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Yea is smelling themselves before her or as they said, exactly,
you're right, yeah, they're smelling themselves and it's not it's
not a good look because at the end of the day,
(29:13):
it makes you look real crazy. At the end of
the day, it makes you look real crazy. My pet
peeve as the musician, is when I'm playing, another drummer
try to tell me how to play while I'm playing.
That's the most aggravating pet peeve effort. It makes me
(29:37):
want to hop off the set and round house kicked
the guy. But but at the end of the day,
it makes like it really it really makes you want
to do that. But at the end of the day,
you have to remain who you are no matter what
(29:59):
what the circum stances bring. And that's what makes me
who I am is I'm cool, clean, humble, I'm not
feeling myself and I'm not full. I'm not full of myself,
and at the end of the day, I'm a good
(30:22):
person away from the instrument, so that that's the main thing.
You know, playing music and playing drums, it's a cool thing.
It's very cool. It's fun when you're with the right people.
But at the end of the day, it's all about
being a good person and being a blessing to those
(30:45):
and being able to minister to the people through the
gift of music.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Amen, you're right about that. Yes, its not all about you,
So I'm not all about you. It's all about ministring
and bleach your souls and that's that's the main thing.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
And most likely you know you have you have to
remove self out the way before you play, no matter what,
no matter what the circumstance is, you have to move
self out the way because if you don't move self
out the way, then you lose yourself. Basically, you may
(31:31):
have a bad day. You probably end up taking that
out on somebody who's really needing a breakthrough that's on
the verge of collapse scene. So it's always important for
musicians before you hop on your instrument, even singers, to
(31:52):
remove to pray and ask God to remove self out
the way so he can get the glory, not us.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Come on, now, come on, now, that's what happens when
when I'm around my pastor, Bishop John Mark Johnson.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
You know he's also a musician. He's the jurisdictional Prelate
for Missouri Western second Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, of the Church of
God in Christ.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Amazing. I love it. I love it. That's really suching
that you can just touch hands, you know. Yeah, he
can speak down and speak to you like that and
then encourage you daily. You know, that's a blessing, really blessing,
great blessing.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
The first of the first sermon I remember my pastor
preaching is out of the Book of Psalms Things Psalms
ninety or Psalms ninety one. It's a good thing to
give thanks onto the Lord. So every day, even though
(33:03):
if I don't say it vocally, I'm saying it in
my head. Every day is a good day to give thanks.
Even when I'm playing, even when I'm working with musicians
that's you know, prideful and arrogant and full of themselves
or whatever tip they wearing on their shoulder. At that
point in time, I always had to remain humble and
(33:25):
calm and remind myself it's always a good thing to
give thanks because a lot of musicians, yeah they can play,
we don't take that away from them. But also at
the same time, the anointy, the way you approach your instrument,
how you impact the people, that's the main thing is
(33:48):
how you impact and how you leave an imprint in
a positive life.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
That's great. That's great, that's great. You know, speaking of
pastors and everything, I would like to give out shots
to Paster Kelly and pastor doctor rose A.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Car and.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Pastor Mason, Pastor Dots and Barker, Pastor Jackie Barker, Pastor
Jackson g Op. These are all of the people's that
that's in my life that's been close to me. And
(34:37):
you know that I can say that I uh that
has really encouraged me when I was down when I
was and our pastor kel Ker, pastor, there's a lot
of pastors that showed love to me. But I really
thank you for the for these people that that just
(34:58):
not been there and done that and just I don't know,
just you know, just just said I'm here regardless, especially uh,
the pastors that I have right now in Jesus Man. Yes,
(35:18):
okay man.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
You you just you just spoke. You just spoke an
artist roster of preachers of Clark County.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
That's all over the world, that's actually all over the world.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Okay, forgive me, forgive me.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
You know, to take it out. That's from Clark County
and all over the world, you know, you know, basically,
but I'm just thankful, you know, for that, you know,
and it's just it's a blessing, you know, and just
to say that. But you know, I'm gonna mess with
you right now because I you know, there's some questions.
There's probably one or two questions I need to ask you.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Okay, let's let's go be bro.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
That's the question. We talked about it earlier. Okay, bro. Uh.
There's not a lot of ministers that's not like you.
You understand what understanding that that can do what you're doing.
You're not just the drummer. You're people that a person
(36:32):
that guides and help the people that need help as
far as off people that pass. You know, you understand
what I'm saying. So in that ministry, how is that
a ministry? How do you like? How did you like that?
(36:55):
Or how do you like doing that? Well, let's not
everybody can do that? Not everybody do that?
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Yes, yes, sir, you are absolutely right. I must say,
all right, I like it. And the reason why I
say I like it is I'm able to serve.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
That that that that that's the main thing. So when
I when I see leaders like my pastor Bishop john
Mark Johnson, UH, pastor Ricky Turner from oak Ridge Baptist
of Kansas City, Kansas.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
UH.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Even to the presiding Bishop J. Drew sheard, all I
see is served.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Yeah, how can I How can I serve this family
in the time an hour of their bereavement? And sometimes
even Bishop Johnson told me this while he was preaching
a sermon. Sometimes just being there without saying nothing, you know,
(38:11):
it can be can be a blessing, is a blessing.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
You know. You don't have to say too much, you
don't have to do too much, but just your presence
of alone says a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
You're right, You're right, you're right. You're right about that.
You know, like say, for instance, like like I could
just uh play you know, a few songs on a
snare or whatever or set of drums that that means
a lot, you know, and not acting nothing that helps
(38:48):
a lot. Yes, Yeah, so that's a blessing. That's truly
a blessing. I'm not gonna be good. I'm gonna be good.
I'm this thing.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
You mids will just keep keep it going.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Bro shouts out to vicious seal. Uh that uh, and
Gideons memorials. Uh. Let me see my other brother Andre.
(39:28):
They all have martuaries that's out here, especially uh, the
Gideon Memorial Chapel. You know, they they like family to
me because I played in their church before Unity Baptists.
So they got like a piece of my heart, you know, right,
(39:49):
you know every time I see them, you know, they
like show nothing but love, and it seemed like it
just pours out on them, you know, just because you know,
it's not just because of what they're doing, is just
how they're doing, and they show it, you know, you
know intentionally, you know, like like it's like there, you know,
(40:11):
I'm like, man, what did I do to deserve all
the love?
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Just be who you are?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Mm hmm yeah, you're right, Just be who you are.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
And you know the thing about it is being humble
and just observing of what to do and what not
to do. You're right about that because I've seen a
lot of videos and.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
And stuff are not not you know, you know, people
are not handling the casket rights.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Oh my goods, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
So I know you know what to do. I know
you know what to do.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
So it's a technique to that I know, So I
don't want to know the technique, but I thank you
guys for what you guys are doing, you know, because
that that's an art, just like we have an art
to music. You know, it's a craft. You know. So
keep on doing, keep on doing what you're doing, and
God is going to really bless you guys for doing that,
(41:35):
you know daily.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Yeah, keep on doing that. So before we close our show,
what do you have to say to the world. We're
speaking over to one hundred and fifty countries right now.
What do you have to say? Positive?
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Okay, so all my one hundred and fifty countries that's
tuned into the show, I just wanna just want to say,
whatever you do, do everything with excellence one hundred percent.
Let's take that. What is one hundred percent? Everybody talks
(42:16):
about keeping it one hundred Everybody talks about one hundred
this and one hundred that. But the main thing is
having the mindset, having the discipline of putting out one
hundred percent daily, whether you feel like it or where
(42:39):
you don't feel like it. That's where your results, your
positive results will come. Even in the Book of Proverbs,
I'm not going to say all the scriptures and all
the verses, but read Book of Proverbs.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
It channels you.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
It guides you from what to do, what to say,
what not to say, how to have a good name
while you're producing one hundred percent. Also it teaches you
how to handle business and teach you how to be balanced,
because a false balance is abomination in God's eyes. But
(43:29):
the main thing is to be to have a structure
and a solid based balance and producing one hundred percent.
So all I got to tell you to all on
one hundred and fifty countries that's listening right now, including
the United States. Whatever you do, whatever you do, whether
(43:52):
you feel like it or not, you always push for
one hundred percent because at the end of the day,
you're not gonna get a good job, you're not going
to get a pat on the back, you're not even
gonna get a fifth bump. But always remember God sees it,
and that's where your blessing is going to be. Always
(44:14):
produced with one with the mentality of one hundred percent.
