@@terrydrums If you listen to any professional major gospel artists (Jonathan Nelson, Mavin Sapp, Tye Tribbett, Red Hands,James Fortune) you’ll hear major influences of a lot of Jazz and fusion inspiration. Guys like Chris Dave,Jeremy Haynes, Dana Hawkins, Calvin Rodgers, Ronald Bruner Jr., Robert Sput Searight and many others are examples of guys who came from church but STUDIED. Like if you ask them who their influences are, you’ll surely hear Colaiuta, Cobham, Blade, Chambers,Will Kennedy, Greg Hutchinson, Al Foster, Jack Dejohnette and many others Yes “Gospel drumming” is a “aggressive” yet dynamic style to play but these same gospel drummers that studied can blend into any genre with no worry. Also if you would take the time to understand the environment where gospel drumming has developed since the late 70s you’ll see why it sounds the way it sounds varying from city to city.
@@Ted_Swayinghill Yeah, I’m allowed not to like something or to even prefer one thing over another. I’d much rather listen to Jeff Hamilton or John Riley over any of the people you mentioned. Why? Because I’m me you’re you. I was merely expressing an opinion, which on the internet opens the door for an attack because I don’t like that thing that someone else likes. Thanks, Internet!
@@terrydrums The short response: -You’re right, its okay to have a opinion and preference but don’t give a dismissive vibe if someone shares their different experience -Gospel drummers (that study their craft) know their stuff just as much as the Jazz musician that follows Jazz Tradition. (IE Quincy Phillips or Karriem Riggins with Roy Hargrove ) -Listen to albums for context not just the shed sessions -Internet or not, being a musician is a constant process of learning and understanding -Thanks Internet! Be safe out there! --- Full response: And thats fine to have a preference and yeah you’re right, “You’re you and I’m me” and yeah you were expressing a opinion, however when you say “I need a venn diagram on that” that gives me a vibe of you being dismissive and not open to understanding and believing where someone from the “Gospel chops” scene might come from. The names that I mentioned were simply examples (and mere suggestions for you to check out) as we’re both here amazed by Ulysses’s playing so we do have a common ground somewhere here and I felt I wouldve shared examples of where Im coming from. To add, Hamilton and Riley are great as I also listen to them however like you mentioned I have a preference of Jeff Tain Watts and Brian Blade Also I notice you’re a Simon Phillips fan, me too! However, the last time I checked, a lot of his inspiration come from Cobham but I digress. :) My point still stands and its this: Gospel drummers (that study their craft) know their stuff just as much as the Jazz musician that follows Jazz Tradition. (When you get a chance, check out and Quincy Phillips or Karriem Riggins with Roy Hargrove and as well as Lee Pearson. They’re 3 straight ahead guys that came straight from Listening to Gospel.) Hence why it was mentioned, in order to get a better understanding and context of gospel drumming or any genre at that, one has to listen to songs or albums, not watch ONLY shed sessions. We both know, Internet or not, being a musician is a constant process of learning and understanding. Anyways, I’ll move on here. Be safe.

I greatly prefer this over "gospel chops."
Its funny you say this because the brand “gospel chops” come from Jazz...
@@Ted_Swayinghill Uh, I’m gonna need a Venn diagram on that.
