Many years ago, I saw Gerald Heyward perform this song with Blackstreet on the Jools Holland's show here in the UK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXY-bT5hJOo This performance completely changed my drumming forever as it started my interest in the Gospel Drumming style. At the time, I had no idea who the drummer was or that there were many other amazing Gospel Drummers out there, I just knew that I had to sound like that lol! Almost everything I know about Gospel Drumming starts with Gerald! Thanks for inspiring a generation!
Thought I'd test my video editing skills by syncing the audio up afterwards as I am using headphones in this video. It's a little glitchy in places but seems to be in time with the track for the most part.
This is the first video I have filmed with my new HD camera. Please watch in HD.
As always, all glory be to God!
The kit I'm playing has sadly seen better days. Its the practice/teaching kit at work and its in dire need of some new skins. But hey, a bad workman blames his tools. I'm attempting to make a good sound on this kit, despite its faults, guess I like a challenge lol! I find kits like this help me make an even better sound when I get to play my nice Yamaha/Zildjian.
