you gotta understand CJ is breaking all type of rules. play after the 1, throwing in quick chops and bells anywhere he wants, using the hi hat in places where traditionally the bass drum and symbol come in, playing with his BARE HAND, extending fields and quick licks..... and most importantly making it look easy.
Rule breaking drummers are just drummers that are exceptionally creative! CJ Thompson is just a prime example! To say CJ’s amazing is an understatement!!😳🤯
Lol! Funny you said that. I saw him play an entire live recording when he was like 13/14 years old. His dad is Cedric Thompson who played & arranged for Donald Lawrence, John P. Kee, etc. His mom is Lajune Thompson who has been singing with John & Donald for 20 plus years. So naw...he didn't have a regular childhood. He was born one of God's gifts to Music. 🤷🏾♂️ You think it looks freakish on video, you should see it live.
Yeah this brotha is definitely a beast. I remember going to services at bishop graves church in greensboro,nc as a child and his dad would sit him on a little drum set next to the main set and he would rock a nice pocket. So yeah to see him at this level is really dope and mind blowing.
At 6:08 the reason he hit the cymbal with his hand, is because he dropped the stick. He was so fast, it cant be recognized. He picked up another stick in godspeed
Breh.... it’s been 10months since you reacted to this vid and I still don’t know what I just watched Smh that’s a lot to digest. 🔥🔥🔥 CJ be dropping heat rock frfr
Another one to check out is "Shall Rise, Shall be Dead" by George Kollias. He's a drummer from Greece that plays with Death Metal legends Nile. He also has his own solo project, where he writes and plays everything (all of the instruments). His timing and footwork is savage!! He also plays in a jazz project on the side.. The playthrough video is incredible..
ay bro CJ is a different breed of drummer!!! Period! He will make you rethink if playing drums is what you really want to do! I'm from Carolina as well hadn't met him yet personally (soon). He came up under a lot of the greats, & he put in the work!!!! He is the new sound! Just my oppinion.
Josh I definitely agree with you Cj is definitely a top-notch drummer I'm honored just to hear him on the tube.If you have anymore Vids on this magnificent player please post 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂
I've watched that cj video about 20 times before but I'm glad I found your reaction video to it. It was hilarious lol. I did the exact same thing you did when I first watched it...when he hit the cymbal with his hand haha... I just paused the video and skipped back to see if I just saw what I thought I saw lol. Keep it up your videos are awesome.
Ive been looking for your traction to this video. I knew all three spots you we're going to go crazy just like me. 😆

Your reaction at 8.15 had me in bits! LOL!
7 лет назад+1
I've watched the video over and over. Your reaction was mine exxxaaactly when I saw that part. I just turned everything off, went to bed and contemplated life.
Breh from the offset pocket beat @7:55 transitioning into that super sayian lick from 8:13-8:24 was too disrespectful that’s like one of the best ones I’ve saw and heard!!! #Toosaucy 💯k
Holy crap...I'm JUST now seeing this? The disjointed accents he sneaks on are incredible. Man, I don't think any video exists of this, but there is audio floating around... there was a time in the 90's when Russell Batiste was cracked out- like literally buying/selling crack ONSTAGE WHILE HE PLAYING (with The Funky Meters)...but the crazy shit he was playing was like this. Stuff that only crazy geniuses come up with. Like hitting the turbo boost button on creativity. Dudes like Weckl would show up with tape recorders...it was that insane.
Ayye bro!! I just came back here after watching you cover the mighty long way track. Your camera quality improved a lotttt!!!! Your playing too bro...keep motivating us bro!!!! Great work!
Anyone notice dat half of da cj thompson vids josh says stop lol😂
Lol josh

23supastar well said .... well said!
So...what you're saying is...He isn't human? Gotcha...Yep...Case closed guys...CJ isn't of this Earth...
He's playing with my emotions😖
lead guitarist is going for blood! dude is probably still in his teens too!
the whole band killing
glory to god
The way he play seem like he ain't have a childhood,like his dad made him play drums 24\7 Lolllllll
NO BS
Lol! Funny you said that. I saw him play an entire live recording when he was like 13/14 years old. His dad is Cedric Thompson who played & arranged for Donald Lawrence, John P.

Not no childhood tho😩 lol!!!!! But for real he on another level!!!!!
Nah.. he play like he's having fun.. that's the kid in em
😂😂😂
CJ PLAYS HEAVY,EACH BEAT ,STROKE OR CRASH ,HE MAKE YOU FEEL IT IN UR GUT.HE ONE OF THE COLDEST POWER DRUMMERS OUT HERE.
Him and Gabe, they are something else man.
I watch them daily, goals right there man.
I hear a lot of reggae impressions in his chops! Mad props for incorporating different genres in his play style and the guitarist is killing too.
You gotta listen with earphones. Those drums sound so lovely!
Yeah this brotha is definitely a beast. I remember going to services at bishop graves church in greensboro,nc as a child and his dad would sit him on a little drum set next to the main set and he would rock a nice pocket. So yeah to see him at this level is really dope and mind blowing.
Yeah man,definitely whasup!!!! Lol!!
Yesss,His father & Bishop (late)Graves were both beast's on the Key's also to learn to play with...
I just saw the video myself 10 times in a row... This drummer is unbelievable.
Yo Josh!! Your face is priceless at 8:20 bro!!! I'm still weak every time I come back to this video
That church band is great!!!! The guitar player is making it happen also!!
8:10 - 8:30 I don't even know what I just witnessed 😮🔥
Cjs drum style is like he plays with weights when he practices then he just smashes with regular stuff
Matt Buxxs forreal tho lmao
I might try that frfr
He plays chops and doesn't even move his body!
the way CJ ended his field at 3:46 was different. he didnt end it with the basic crash at the end. HE DRUM ROLLED IT OUT....... who does that?
Only the "rule breaking" true artist! 💯✔
His phrasing is just out of this world bro, mans a genius behind the kit 🤯
This video NEVER gets old!!!
That last lick was insane! hahhhah!!! But that guitar player too! Clean and soulful! amazing....
CJ Thompson diluar galaxy🔥🔥🔥
C j is my favorite because when he do his runs he stays in beat with the song and that makes him different 👍🏾
The dynamic and approach to music that THIS church seems to have is bewildering me. Yes. Please.
Yesssss!!!!!! That man is letting that electric guitar sing them notes 🤘💪
OMG...pure nastiness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...not sticks to hit the cymbal, use your hands...just pure craziness...love it
I love watching him play, he just makes it look too easy, Lol. He ain't with the traditions, he makes his own rules which makes him sooo awesome.
I come back every month to watch this video
Same lol 😂😂
Why have I never heard of this guy before. Deffinately in my top 10.
Every time i stop and rewind the video i found something new about the way he plays the drums !! Oh boy he is very very but very very good !!!
One thing is the speed, but speed, control and timming, ufffff...... he bad.
Flawless victory,,, Fatality 🙌🙏😎✊🗿
I swear hes a beast..not even human
Him nd varo need to do a gospel chops session now that i culd watch all day
He made the frickin wing nut on the right crash cymbal pop off! Amazing!!
I know he did. So amazing, tried, and true.
At 6:08 the reason he hit the cymbal with his hand, is because he dropped the stick. He was so fast, it cant be recognized. He picked up another stick in godspeed
Alex King it actually broke mid lick
Yeah he knows this song in reverse, the comfort level is unreal
He keeps a straight face all the way,cj is really a beast,no effort needed what so ever.😎
Breh.... it’s been 10months since you reacted to this vid and I still don’t know what I just watched Smh that’s a lot to digest. 🔥🔥🔥 CJ be dropping heat rock frfr
The singers are amazing as well
Yes... But what is being shouted @8:33 and @8:39? I keep thinking the lead singer is saying "I'm a realtor! I'm a realtor!"
Another one to check out is "Shall Rise, Shall be Dead" by George Kollias. He's a drummer from Greece that plays with Death Metal legends Nile. He also has his own solo project, where he writes and plays everything (all of the instruments). His timing and footwork is savage!! He also plays in a jazz project on the side..

@ 2:16 I literally put my finger to the screen to bring that back😅
ay bro CJ is a different breed of drummer!!! Period! He will make you rethink if playing drums is what you really want to do! I'm from Carolina as well hadn't met him yet personally (soon). He came up under a lot of the greats, & he put in the work!!!! He is the new sound! Just my oppinion.
That lead guitarist is also killin it!
