already sent it to them.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Okay, I'll keep my list. Keep your list. I'll do that.
But in the midst of keeping my list, I gotta
definitely keep up first man and say, uh, this guy
was one of the guys to change the game in
gospel drama. Uh, one of these first uh through inspired
(20:07):
drummers that around the world Uh to like groove and
play pocket and and uh and play big. You know,
his sound was very, very big.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So uh.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And I'm talking about this, said Eric Morgan. Okay, drummer,
he was the these first drummers for Kurt Franklin. So
when it was Eric Morgan, Bobby Sparks, Oregon Keys, Jerome
Allen on bass, the guitar, you know, yeah, like in
(20:46):
those days when it was like but uh yeah, Eric
Morgan all the records that that that made Kirk Franklin
who he is today. Eric Morgan is the drummer on
the Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
And is he still playing for Is he still playing
for him right now? No, he don't play for him now.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Uh. If I'm not mistaken, it's Terry Baker is the
drummer for Kurt right now.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, Terry Baker is the Grammy and the Grammy win,
Grammy winner and the still Award winner. Am I right?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
That's correct?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, he's he's I've seen him on that uh tiny
desk oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I was like, wow, yeah, man, Terry Baker is amazing too. Man.
He's he's a beast man. He's here, he's here in
my city, he's here in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I got to meet him.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I got to meet him. Terry Banker is amazing man. Uh.
He's another one that as far as everybody here, okay, man,
but let me go down my list.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh take your turn.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Another drummer that changed the game for me is and
gospel music, and not just gospel but across the world.
When it comes to uh funky funky groove. Uh, I
could in nice steals, uh turnovers, turn around to go
to like the next phases of the songs. The one
(22:24):
who started that the most for me was mister Joel Smith. Uh. Yes, no,
but definitely mister Joel Smith. That's why, you know, that's
one of my one of my first representations of drumming.
When you know, I was introduced to uh playing drums
(22:47):
at church and learning music.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Uh, it was songs with.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Him playing playing drums and then I saw him playing bass,
you know, So that was just more of an inspiration man.
But uh, outside of outside of those two, I have
mister Dennis Chambers and I don't have to I don't
(23:15):
have to eat it begin to speak. I mean, everything
about Dennis Chambers was me. Uh. I learned Dennis Tambers
so much to where, like I said, man on the
last show, a guy named from window Man shout out
to from He pulled me in and taught me how
to work, and I traded in some chops for some procket.
(23:36):
But you know Dennis had that as well. But being
young and inspired by all the flashy stuff, that's the
stuff I was learning. So you know, I developed a
lot from Dennis Timbers them stuffs. But I mean, you,
I'm pretty sure there's not a drummer in this world
that ain't picked up something from Dennis Chambers.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Bro, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
You know so there, I mean, because he's on things
that you don't even think that he's played on. A
lot of people know about the Parliament Man, but Dennis
has so much work out there. You know, people don't
even know the shoot. Oh yeah, so Dennis Man and
my next guy man is one of their hometown homeies,
(24:21):
mister Robert spot see Wright himself. Robert is a game
changer to the whole drumming community. I believe he's changed
the game of drumming across the whole world. Once he's
been seen and recognized. He inspired people to do things,
(24:45):
not even just as far as their plan wise, but
he I believe his plan inspires a lot of people
to pay better. But not just that man. He's respected
by all his companies that he's endorsed with. Thomas started
making a drum kit specifically like the spectacular Sput has
(25:06):
a drum kit from Thomas College, Sput Tackler kit. You know,
and when you inspire a company that's been around for
ages and has done everything like once again, you know
sut what with Toto or his last run. He's got
his own band out called ghost Notes. If you haven't
heard of ghost Notes, man, you should take an opportunity
(25:27):
just to google and see what's going on with those guys.
Like those notes is ridiculous. I heard, I heard, yeah, yeah,
And all of those guys you know work work with
high end people or and they come from that and
(25:48):
still do it currently. You know, they come together and
make their own sound. So I mean sput Robert s
Fussy right man, uh, one of one of my tops.
And then right behind that man have to say, Calvin Rodgers,
another guy changes the game uh to not just God
(26:08):
for music, but to R and B to.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
The protest drumming.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
He's inspired people, and you hear a lot of people
try to sound like Kavin, because Kevin's just he's he's
got a mind that's bigger than one genius. It's like
four or five genius is living inside of his mind because.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
He knows the right gear to use for the right records.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
He knows exactly what to play on the records and
lives no you know, like Calvin. Uh, he's been like
that since young. I remember when he first played on
Ricky Dillon's record, uh back in the day before playing
uh before playing uh with uh with but uh, I know,
(26:55):
way before the way before then. Man, I'm talking about
the church stuff like he was playing with Milton, is
it Milton Bronson?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, So, I mean, you know, I've been listening to
him since he was a little kid when he could
barely touch the peller.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
He was killing.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
So like you know, Calvin Rogers, he's he changed the
game and drumming, so you know, shut out to Calvin
as well.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
He got his own style of music. That's the one
thing I like about Calvin.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Well Calvin and I have to say this about Calvins,
but both of those guys are not just drummers. They
are really like they're they're very everybody their musical. They
hear everything, they hear everybody's part. And I have that
as well, Like I every Friday's part. And I can
(27:48):
hear what's supposed to be there when it's right, and
I can hear what's supposed to be there when it's wrong.
I can point it out and keep going and not
make it noticeable. I can leave you where you need
to be at next.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
You know, God just gave me that gifts.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
And I've been like that.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Uh even for some of the best bands that I've
traveled around the world, bro, I have I've had to
give cues for what's happening next because yeah, yes, sir,
and you know it's not it's not it's not like
being considered that gives me. Yeah, you know, and it's
(28:24):
like for me, I do what it takes to.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Make the whole fourth move forward.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
You know, we all got to go forward and go higher.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
So if I if I God's giving me this information
to be able to share it then I want to
share it, you know.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
But yeah, man, so okay, So my next one, man,
I gotta let you know, all right, my next is
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Hard Mason.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I gotta check this out and see if he's kin
to me, you know what.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
So, Harry Mason, you are you familiar with the jazz
band called four Play?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Yes, yes, sir, okay, So.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Harvey Mason always played high head patterns that were not
for four and so I would those. I would develop
that to figure out how to how to work with
my wrists, you know, to do trimplets instead of singles
and quarter notes before even like being in band or
(29:46):
anything like that. In school, I was listening to like
the four Play, those four Play records, bro.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
And so.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I also found out that Vic Firk himself was Harvey
Mason's drum teacher.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Wow, that is a means and Vic Firk for real?

drummer that says as well. So uh, in my earlier days,
I was passing hand you know, so man shout out

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Bro, it's your turn. Bro, man, it's my time already.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Huh already. Man. I know you got a list that
I gave you, but uh, man, I have to really
re evaluate a couple of things, man, because I do
have a I got I gotta iff of just once.
So if I have to take one away, I'll do that.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
No, no, no, keep your list, keep your list. Already
already sent it to them.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Okay, I'll keep my list. Keep your list. I'll do that.
But in the midst of keeping my list, I gotta
definitely keep up first man and say, uh, this guy
was one of the guys to change the game in
gospel drama. Uh, one of these first uh through inspired
(20:07):
drummers that around the world Uh to like groove and
play pocket and and uh and play big. You know,
his sound was very, very big.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So uh.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And I'm talking about this, said Eric Morgan. Okay, drummer,
he was the these first drummers for Kurt Franklin. So
when it was Eric Morgan, Bobby Sparks, Oregon Keys, Jerome
Allen on bass, the guitar, you know, yeah, like in
(20:46):
those days when it was like but uh yeah, Eric
Morgan all the records that that that made Kirk Franklin
who he is today. Eric Morgan is the drummer on
the Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
And is he still playing for Is he still playing
for him right now? No, he don't play for him now.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Uh. If I'm not mistaken, it's Terry Baker is the
drummer for Kurt right now.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, Terry Baker is the Grammy and the Grammy win,
Grammy winner and the still Award winner. Am I right?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
That's correct?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah, he's he's I've seen him on that uh tiny
desk oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I was like, wow, yeah, man, Terry Baker is amazing too. Man.
He's he's a beast man. He's here, he's here in
my city, he's here in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I got to meet him.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I got to meet him. Terry Banker is amazing man. Uh.
He's another one that as far as everybody here, okay, man,
but let me go down my list.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh take your turn.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Another drummer that changed the game for me is and
gospel music, and not just gospel but across the world.
When it comes to uh funky funky groove. Uh, I
could in nice steals, uh turnovers, turn around to go
to like the next phases of the songs. The one
(22:24):
who started that the most for me was mister Joel Smith. Uh. Yes, no,
but definitely mister Joel Smith. That's why, you know, that's
one of my one of my first representations of drumming.
When you know, I was introduced to uh playing drums
(22:47):
at church and learning music.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Uh, it was songs with.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Him playing playing drums and then I saw him playing bass,
you know, So that was just more of an inspiration man.
But uh, outside of outside of those two, I have
mister Dennis Chambers and I don't have to I don't
(23:15):
have to eat it begin to speak. I mean, everything
about Dennis Chambers was me. Uh. I learned Dennis Tambers
so much to where, like I said, man on the
last show, a guy named from window Man shout out
to from He pulled me in and taught me how
to work, and I traded in some chops for some procket.
(23:36):
But you know Dennis had that as well. But being
young and inspired by all the flashy stuff, that's the
stuff I was learning. So you know, I developed a
lot from Dennis Timbers them stuffs. But I mean, you,
I'm pretty sure there's not a drummer in this world
that ain't picked up something from Dennis Chambers.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Bro, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
You know so there, I mean, because he's on things
that you don't even think that he's played on. A
lot of people know about the Parliament Man, but Dennis
has so much work out there. You know, people don't
even know the shoot. Oh yeah, so Dennis Man and
my next guy man is one of their hometown homeies,
(24:21):
mister Robert spot see Wright himself. Robert is a game
changer to the whole drumming community. I believe he's changed
the game of drumming across the whole world. Once he's
been seen and recognized. He inspired people to do things,
(24:45):
not even just as far as their plan wise, but
he I believe his plan inspires a lot of people
to pay better. But not just that man. He's respected
by all his companies that he's endorsed with. Thomas started
making a drum kit specifically like the spectacular Sput has
(25:06):
a drum kit from Thomas College, Sput Tackler kit. You know,
and when you inspire a company that's been around for
ages and has done everything like once again, you know
sut what with Toto or his last run. He's got
his own band out called ghost Notes. If you haven't
heard of ghost Notes, man, you should take an opportunity
(25:27):
just to google and see what's going on with those guys.
Like those notes is ridiculous. I heard, I heard, yeah, yeah,
And all of those guys you know work work with
high end people or and they come from that and
(25:48):
still do it currently. You know, they come together and
make their own sound. So I mean sput Robert s
Fussy right man, uh, one of one of my tops.
And then right behind that man have to say, Calvin Rodgers,
another guy changes the game uh to not just God
(26:08):
for music, but to R and B to.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
The protest drumming.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
He's inspired people, and you hear a lot of people
try to sound like Kavin, because Kevin's just he's he's
got a mind that's bigger than one genius. It's like
four or five genius is living inside of his mind because.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
He knows the right gear to use for the right records.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
He knows exactly what to play on the records and
lives no you know, like Calvin. Uh, he's been like
that since young. I remember when he first played on
Ricky Dillon's record, uh back in the day before playing
uh before playing uh with uh with but uh, I know,
(26:55):
way before the way before then. Man, I'm talking about
the church stuff like he was playing with Milton, is
it Milton Bronson?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (27:06):

him since he was a little kid when he could
barely touch the peller.
Speaker 3 (27:12):

Speaker 4 (27:13):
So like you know, Calvin Rogers, he's he changed the
game and drumming, so you know, shut out to Calvin
as well.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
He got his own style of music. That's the one
thing I like about Calvin.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Well Calvin and I have to say this about Calvins,
but both of those guys are not just drummers. They
are really like they're they're very everybody their musical. They
hear everything, they hear everybody's part. And I have that
as well, Like I every Friday's part. And I can
(27:48):
hear what's supposed to be there when it's right, and
I can hear what's supposed to be there when it's wrong.
I can point it out and keep going and not
make it noticeable. I can leave you where you need
to be at next.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
You know, God just gave me that gifts.
Speaker 3 (28:02):

traveled around the world, bro, I have I've had to
give cues for what's happening next because yeah, yes, sir,
