Got a chance to meet one of my favorite drummers Clemons Poindexter (I got kicked off stage)

Clemons Poindexter came to my city Canton,Ohio with Marvin Sapp and they blazed for the HBCU Hall of Fame weekend….

[@paulwatford9443]

Randomly came up on this and I tried to cancel it b4 it played. I was like “I ain’t tryina see no drummer!” And 5 secs in- I was traumatized w/this brotha! One of the dopest I’ve heard & I’ve heard them all. May be late to the party b/c I’ve never heard of him. But today, I’m a fan!

*The background singers and that band ATE, ATE, ATE!*

Wow awesome I love this. Thanks for sharing

[@71Asrogers]

A Living Legend of percussionary precision and skill! Come to Boise, ID. 😎🤘♥️

[@juniormatthew1007]

man be blasting on the drums...nice one bro. I love the song "I came "

[@bobbyshabangu]

I didn’t see him when Sapp came to South Africa. Hopefully next time he comes with his whole band.

[@igohard4christ508]

Yo, I don’t play drums anymore. This video made me want be an usher…… 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾

That's funny, as I just might be asking my wife for a spot on her Usher team after this vid also... Lol 😆 🤣... Bless Ya... For real though, take all this inspiration and chop it up on the kit...!!!

[@matthewfrancis777]

I love seeing white people so fascinated by black drummers, it’s hilarious. They like wow, incredible! 😂😂😂

[@pighater951]

I'm Hispanics bro you MF are some bad ass musicians all around !!!! drums. My favorite instrument... !!!!😤

[@dwayneg4275]

😂 truth! As a 56 yr old white dude I've always been fascinated with my black brothers skill level on drums. We have 2 black drummers at our church who are awesome too. They carry the beat to another level and then some!

[@dulistanheman]

Sorry bro, this is too much. Band should put *Music First* above all the band members. Gospel music should put *God message* through *Music,* while the band members united to deliver *It* in *One* message. This is totally overpowered the singer and the rest of the band and put the drum as the main attention. Even Michael Jackson song drum pretty simple but on pocket. He's one of the best drummer out there who humble themselves to put music first above him. Michael also did the same thing. Gospel has even better than that.

[@andywilliam367]

Very well described. Music first, not the individual musician. Gospel music broken now.

[@carloswillliams3831]

Absolutely!! Hope you younger fellas get it. A true musician sees the total picture. I never went to see Luther because of the band. 👍👍👍👌👌Peace

[@knyamadi]

Baaaaam... Soooo true

[@knyamadi]

But on the flip side we praise God that skillful men are jamming in the kingdom.. for the purposes of encouraging other drummers... But let's not forget the whole picture

[@dulistanheman]

@@knyamadi Very skillful artist always play simple but spot on. Let's called the great B.B King and Miles Davis who always use *Space* as deep music. They don't preach using Christian message, but they still use *spiritual term* in their music. Those space talk deep to all of us. I even fall in love to their records until today. How about Bill Evans...? He's doesn't sounds Jazz to my ears, but he play beautifully on the key. Marvin Sapp record "Never Would've Made It" drum is on Point. Simple, hit hard at the best moments. Otherwise we couldn't hear Marvin's voice at all. The drum play quietly most of the time. As for me, the drum was the star because he's one with the whole band. I'm not sure if he's the same drummer as this man. If he does, then he should go back to the same classic style where he let the Holy Spirit speak to all listener other than our own limited skill. The same thing with *God Favored me* song where he sang with Hezekiah Walker and DJ Rogers. The drum dynamic totally bring the whole song to another level. This man can play like whatever they wanted *only* when he play instrumental such as intersection where the Vocalist taking break, or when the other singers (backing vocal) trying to bring the crowd to fire again when left by the main Singer. But, he still have to play according to Christian spirit. Thanks for reading.

[@Oeg925]

Solid for days ..

[@dluttrell78]

My boy curtis on keys!!!

[@herbiemusic]

Why do gospel drummers have to do all this ? Where is thaaaa Pocket groove ?? Give me a groove drummer any day every day. That’s too much

[@Freewill4us]

Ikr. Most of all of them doing the same busy want to be seen. Look at me.

[@herbiemusic]

@@Freewill4us man yes. Lots of these Gospel drummers are forgetting the role of the drummer which is to lock in with the bass player and to keep the groove of the music flowing steady and to create space in the music. But All this busy busy drum solo stuff…….SMH

[@Freewill4us]

@@herbiemusic Totally messy. He's not even locked in with the bass. No dynamic at all. Blasting all the way angry from the beginning to the end. This man destroyed the vocalist and the rest of the band. I love classic Black Gospel compare to this trash. Hope they stop doing it and come back to basic.

[@carloswillliams3831]

Riiiight

[@herbiemusic]

@@carloswillliams3831 where is thaaaaa pocket with all these Modern Gospel drummers ?

[@dewaynefair519]

HeS gOt ToO mAnY cHoPs- some guy who will never play for a famous artist. If Marvin Sapp felt he was too choppy or overshadowing the music, he wouldn't be playing behind him MULTIPLE times would he? Clemons has pocket AND tasty chops. Something none of you haters will ever have. Keep hating from your couch though 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

[@treyvon193]

Right💯💯

[@waynewilson3871]

its not that bro. hes got such big shoes to fill because calvin roger plays this and i guess he is trying to show up right here :).

[@adrianchinnery436]

Most MD’s like it busy just because of the stems and tracks there playing too it really depends on your md and artist as well

[@juanh1093]

I agree. The guy got chops from here to the moon. I'll just say I didn't enjoy this video. He still a great drummer but he definitely overplayed it.

[@osayemwenrejeremiahemmanue8227]

Woooow❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@carloswillliams3831]

Lol lol lol Sounds like a drum solo! We're not jealous, just educated Accept truth, it's all about the artist people!!! Chops are for solos Gospel shifted from the artist to the musician a long time ago Only genre to do this SMH LOL LOL This stuff don't sell🤔

Fresh Wind by Marvin Sapp

Thanks

[@petermapp5988]

He is probably Sugarfoot s cousin(MJ s drummer.)

[@RNBMusicLover]

I have never ever seen a drummer constantly moving parts of the drum set while playing that tells me he wasn't prepared because he should have brought a rug or commercial mat that's what use.

[@EvangelistaIsaelferreira]

+ algum Brazuka? 🇧🇷 Gosto do estilo Americano

[@elbombero7740]

Drummers should be like quarterbacks….Pocket Presence. Nice chops but the whole song can’t be chops. This sounds very messy.

[@wisdomkwakutse8827]

Really....? Messy...!! Camon, this is just nice to hear. Its music in the making. Just accept the fact that it's "sweet" to the ear. 😃 Don't come n be scoring here.... Lol

[@AndreMitchellTV]

Truth bro truth , I ain't even mad at him he just caught up in the culture smh

[@Gaijinproductions]

in some cases that may be true but you didn’t hear the professional singer who is Marvin Sapp complaining gotta also play to who you are there for so if that’s what they want then understand the assignment

[@AndreMitchellTV]

@@Gaijinproductions who we play for is always for The Most High, the assignment for us drummers is supportive role not a lead role especially in our genre. I've learned over the years and playing especially gospel music perfect blend of musicians supports the lyrics and singers so the message can go out. Don't get me wrong I am a fan of chops but not through the whole song that's my only point, that's all bro.

[@isaacjones5385]

I got that same set. Lol
