CJ Thompson at Mt. Rubidoux Church 2022

[@allfunkedupexperience]

There used to be a day when all the drummer was allowed to do was keep time. However, its players like this who remind you of what the full capacity of this instrument is. CJ Thompson is a lethal combination of speed, power, precision, and rudimentary.

[@leodebraga9346]

Yeah, I think that´s the genius here... this guys like him keep the time so well that they can do shit over everything. Its another level...

[@jadenphillips6758]

What cymbals was he using

[@jjdiddle7150]

@Jaden Phillips sound like k custom

[@MarcPlaysDrums]

@@jjdiddle7150 nope they’re Sabians. The effects cymbal under the ride is the dead give away.

[@MarcPlaysDrums]

@@jjdiddle7150 plus…all I’ve every played is K’s. They sound darker. These are way too bright sounding. K’s would have gotten washed out by all the other sounds because they’re so dark. They’re great but not very good in a gospel setting(I’m also an audio engineer).

[@Will-qv1zz]

We have seen CJ play these same songs..hundreds of times..yet whenever a new one pops up we WILL WATCH..multiple times 😆 and still be amazed.

[@vincentward5150]

It’s been years now that I have been watching this set and I’m constantly inspired that CJ plays something different & brings something fresh every time.

[@JermaineJGENT]

CJ comes from an amazing musical legacy and it is evident in his unique creativity. His Dad is Cedric Thomas and his Mom Vocal Beast Lejuene... when you've already got that kind of blood running through your veins added to your own desire passion and drive....here is the result. He never ceases to amaze me!! Ya Dude JGENT

Everyone who’s played for John recently is good but CJ is different! Y’all also have to understand the background of why he played with John so well! He’s been around them since he was a child. Around Donald Lawrence musicians as well. Lol CJ been playing live recordings since a child! Type in “Monique Walker crazy praise” Also “Kim Person praise break”
