The drummer 💯💪🏽 Listening in 2024

[@markrodrigue6913]

Cj plays the drums so casually, looks like if he had 2 more arms,he could make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and still stay in the pocket, never missing a beat

Hey guys, what is the official band of CJ Thompson?

+James Johnson Big time. Love hearing the bass accompany the music instead of dominating. Stand out when necessary but cooly hold the song together otherwise.

[@crackingwithSwizzle]

His Mother is the gospel singer Lejune Thompson and his Father is Grammy Award winner Cedric Thompson so we know he was born into talent.

Surely drummers all over the world are studying this right now.. I know I am

[@b.e.r.nnetwork8251]

It's nothing to really study. It's called being a musician and taking lead. Just because most drummers have a little bit of chops when playing in bands or are told not to overplay doesn't mean this guy invented something. I told my drummer friend a while back every musician can lead.
