Gerald Heyward

[Bozkicksyourface]

That's one bouncy stool. All the haters: He's the one playing with top artists, and you're the ones sitting at home watching him on youtube. Just a thought.

[MrTheonlyone1]

dude i want to knw where i can get this entire video. This track is crazy

[drummaman11]

can anyone teach me the little trick he did with the splashes at the beginning?? MAD PROPS MR HEYWARD!! :D

[NikeDrums]

Its useless if i told you,because you will know only that,but if you try to search and found out what he played,you will see how many great combination there is and maybe someday you will record drum video and gerald will see it and ask the same question like you!!.

But this thing what he played is very easy.He played both hands on hihat(triplet feel),and except he played them ALL on hi hat,he moved few of them on splashes!!!

Simple and very effective!

[drummaman11]

thank you sir! :DD

[Jevildury]

alll I could say is that right now he;s has made alot of gospel drummers do what he does....with out him paving the way how to play drums.....this will be a whole different era..

All giggin drummer need to pay mad respect to Gerald..He paved the way for gospel drummers who are the most annonited musicians .. For years we were the underdog... I got much respect for cat!!!!

[frankcaton]

hey dw you are absolutely right. people making comments about something they know nothing about. gerald started all this for us church muscians. people should learn before the speak.

[cdc7891]

would anyone happen to know what his drum stool is? hydraulic action! its like a trampoline!

[ARisenServant]

Looks like a dw model of some sort!

[musicallytoned1]

yea its called a dw air lift throne.

[fothgt]

She said "come on" 100 times because praise is like a Psunami! It is supposed to go on and on like the waves of a ocean! The only thing that limits our praise to God is the time constraints of the worship service! So in the words of the sister "Come On" and praise the One from Whom All Blessings Flow!

[54spiritedwill54]

This dude is sick on them drums.  SICK!!!!! NICE
