The question was posed as to why people say Gerald Heyward is garbage. I would like to address this if I could...there are idiots among us whose lives are so empty that they would rather find energy to hate rather than shed on their craft. Less hate, more shed, more love among musicians. Peace out.
OMG! Two of my favorite drummers in one room. Both of you guys have influenced my playing. I learned alot from both of you in the 90s via Hezekiah Walker and James Hall albums. Thanks for putting gospel drumming on the map!!!
Gerald started all of that 32nd note playing in Gospel. He's the king of it...He brought a new style, so did Calvin and Aaron but Gerald is king of it whether u admit it or not...Thunder foot Heyward!
i dont think he gets enough love this dudes technique is impeckable nice with everything precision quickness and unimaginable rolls and fills dont forget the quik foot keep doin it man
1) Use heavy duty springs instead factory set ones.
2) Buy 'larger size beaters/
**After that it really depends on if you play heel up or down because you need to work your legs if you play heel up, and your ankle muscles for heel down..
Eddie played good but Gerald was killing it.

This whole clip is sick. I'm just trying to find out why a lot of people I know say that Gerald Heyward is garbage.

It's because their right foot can never be as steady and lightning fast as Heyward's.

How do you work on your foot to increase your speed?
drummerforchrist101 3 years ago
play fast sequences with fast beats using your right hand and try to make your right foot do everything your right hand does.
sayqueezy 3 years ago
There are many ways to make your foot faster.
1) Use heavy duty springs instead factory set ones.
2) Buy 'larger size beaters/
