Man Jeff and I have been friends for a long time. i can remember our youngers days as drummers. Doing every lick out there. Now i sit back and watch as season musicians have laid back and crisp we are. It's been a while since seeing you bro, but you still got it!
i remember back in 1997 when jeff was giving me lessons and gerald heyward was there. i wish i had footage of that day! smh. they was going at it in every genre of music.
No other drummer has sat on the throne since Jeff Davis. When Jeff Davis was doing his thing any church you went to would tell you that Jeff Davis is the best. No other church rummer since then achieved that status. Tony Roastya (aka Tony Royster) is great but he's not considered a church drummer.
This dude right here is a great inspirations to those who wish to play his pocket is so tight and fills are always good one of my favorites along with Gerald, Nat, and Jackie Clark thats who I listen to coming up Brooklyn finest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff Davis was the perfect drummer. In churches people would always say "play like Jeff." Jeff knew how to keep the pocket and do nice rolls without going to crazy. Jeff would get busy but he wouldn't go overboard. He knew how to play with the band. Jeff Davis was the standard that you compared every other church drummer to.
YES!!!!!!! he does Jaeterri i started mixing him when i first started out doin audio he always bothered me but he would also help me gain knowledge in the audio field....
Yo it's cool to hear you say he's your hero. Jeff Davis was every church drummer's hero. He was the man in Gospel music. You couldn't do a Gospel album without Jeff Davis being on it. Jeff Davis was the first drummer to get shoutouts during songs. I remember when John P. Kee said his name during the song "Saved." Jeff Davis started doing a complicated roll and John P. Kee shouted his name.
Jeff man you smooth when you play. Most people will get hype when they play but you just like man I'm gonna hit this tom and this snare...lol! Awesome and anointed job!!!
i have been blessed to get lessons from this guy back in 1996 -1998 when i was in junior high school! U will be amazed the amount of people that got lessons from this dude.
I know right huh? LOL, he is smooth. I always come back to this video. He's actually one of my favorites. Do he ever break a sweat. I mean...imma' hush, nothing more to say LOL!!!
This man is so smooth. I've been watching this video so much, I was at church Wednesday on the drums, and I have picked up on him a little bit. He's just so smooth, and most folks (church drummers), well many of them, they like to move too much. He's just chillin' and sounding too fantabulous...Go Jeff~
I agree it you. Mos drummers must flow with music they're playing. I personally do move when the (to my beat) when the groove calls for it. But if the groove is nice and simple, so should you be.
