JBass on Drums

[@OGtha3]

One of my fav clips from back in the day! Man time flies! I remember the early youtube days lol

[@klick2destruct]

i "lost" this channel about 3 years ago. i was in my second year of drumming and was absolutely stoked about these guys. today i finally found them again and they are still one of the best drummers on youtube!

[@911abreusky9]

This literally just happened to me today couldn't believe I came across this channel again I'm so happy I hope that this notification reminds you of this video as well

[@buzztheimpaler]

Laughing at all these comments! People who don't understand he's not playing a gig, just drumming to a backing track. Love the playing over the bar line. Love this guy. People should love this guy!

[@SupermanStandifer]

You’ll never get a gig playing like this. Plus it’s hard on the listener so why upload it?

[@DrummaBoyG]

Studied this junt religiously back in the gap

[@robertocervantes9775]

been watching this video for 13 years now 👍🏻

[@jeyesacks]

I've only recently discovered gospel drumming, and I think the majority of the players I've seen are incredible. There is an emphasis on the pocket and using broken fills between the hands and feet over the bar line (doubles, three over two, three over one, etc.) which simulates a sort of Pro Tools-esque splicing effect on drums. I've gleaned a great deal of ideas and inspiration from these guys. Thank God for gospel drummers....

[@lewhossofdoom]

Your a fucking inspiration man. As soon as I see you play and hear you drum I just wanna play the drums all night long even though I have a test tomorrow

[@HipnoticBeatz]

I love all the cats coming out of this camp....Slammin !!

[@drumz36]

@Qalstootel They are Peavey drums, I believe......they have outer wood hoops to accept the tension rods, as opposed to metal hardware on the drums.

[@LeoSypniewskiMusic]

wow not only is he in the pocket, but he turned the pocket inside out til all the change fell out. impressive stuff right here. the footwork and rudimentary fills are astounding.

[@afya07]

j is killin it

[@cantytom]

sick, sick, and pure sick. unbelievable, syncopated poly-rhythms, SICK!

[@conjigalo]

I don't know if you would call these type of drummers "gospel drummers" But they most ceratinly have the best style and groove in my opinion. I have learnt from a rock back ground, and all i want to learn/listen to is this style. I love it :D

[@badmotorscooter1000]

JBass and Pete Alexander are my favorite Gospel Chops drummers. Little Calvin is also a stone cold badass of the future!

[@illbillsuede]

still watching this and the calvin at afc videos til this day

[@JoeyJordisonGirl]

oh god, this snare has such a good sound...awesome. the whole set sounds fantastic.

[@tylercjbradshaw]

RnB drummer does more than a 1 bar 16th note fill and everyone thinks hes out of time..... Count along with him his timing is spot on for the most part.

[@vkotis]

Yeah, i like how he goes over the bar too.. that hihat sound is wicked..i love it! very good playing...

[@timpalau78]

Thanks brothers...you guys really set new benchmarks for drumming!!!!

[@Mugenloo]

They're just normal heads, probably Remo or Evans. The thing that makes them look different are just the suspension mounts on the toms. Its so they vibrate individually rather than being really tightly stuck to something heavy like the Bass Drum, that can kill the sound. And i'm not too sure but that kit looks like a GMC.

[@Amund7]

I wish church music was this interesting in my part of the world... then I'd be there every day! :)

[@grahameosheadrums]

I love these linear fills. Wish I could learn more gospel drumming, these drummers have amazing feel and technique. Does anyone know of any books based on this style of drumming? G

[@Brento44]

Haven't seen a set of peavey drums in years.. Sound nice!!!

[@jeffmacleod85]

it's true a lot of guitar players try to do the same thing, it's a hard technique to master and jbass does a great job. to some people it may sound bad but, it's completely fine in my ears

[@SumterSuperhero]

That hi-hat is amazing!

[@zecaranhaneto]

This guy kick ass on drums! congratulations JB!

[@samsterrx3dare]

omg, i love your set. its amazing.

[@RWIron]

your rythme just rides with the singer and rappers on the backround... which is a good thing. I hope i can reach that point in drumming.

[@ninjaym]

You've got some sick licks man!

[@311allmixedup]

just experiment mang. I set my seat height based on how my foot feels on the kick. Sometimes i like sitting low because i feel a little funkier like kicking way back in the seat while you are driving a car. Sometimes a feel the kick is easier to approach from a higher hip level.

[@L2MFitnesss]

thats sweet and I love the way you have the song down to a science

[@mantay]

sweeeeeeet. sick groove man. pure style . nice;-)

[@artydraw]

look....despite the out of time thing hes just a monster on the drums so if you love hearing drum solos youll love this guys work.!!!

[@crg12]

this is the best snare ive heard,,,,i would sell my life for that snare

[@drum722]

i wanna see jbass, calvin, clarence, and pete have a 4 way drum battle...i think i'd pee my pants...all u guys are amazing man...jbass gets plus points for the fro lol

[@VictorAlencarDrums]

@rijnmarmusic Ummm somebody said me that it's a Tama Superstar HyperDrive, it seems to be 8", 10", 12" and 14"... The pedal is a DW (i don't know, looks like a DW 9000) About the snare, i think it is the same model of the drum, and the drumhead is a Remo Black X Suede The Hi-Hat is a Sabian 14" HHX Fusion Hi-Hat... okay, is everything i know, lol.

[@TheKentist]

Nice playin man. aren't the toms 10, 13 14, 16? Much respect to you Jbass, Pete and Calvin for doin yalls thing. Keep it up. Peace

[@danb2140]

we need more jonboy videos come on brotha!

[@kligonking]

they really do, everything on this set seems to sound really good

[@massap]

I love this video. This guy is sick. Also, what kind of heads is he using on his drums?

[@dasjestyr]

i love how he loves goin over the bar

[@jechtlag]

He just fucking owns the kick drum!!

[@whatdoesthefoxxsay5886]

THIS IS AWESOME

[@jbr94LLB]

man i need to join this church!!!

[@mistercharcoal]

damn man. 1st : that kit looks/sounds pretty fuckin awesome. 2nd : ur fills are fuckin sick and awesome man.

[@wawa99]

"(alot fills were sick, but a beat to long)...." thats the point.. love when they come on the up beat like the fill @00.20

[@DavidEstioco]

the fills are awesome

[@definethagreatline]

they are sabian HHX... the best kind of sabians, the sound is nice and crisp

[@wwuuhh]

im diggin that setup man. those hhx's sound bad.

[@crg12]

you are amazing man what hats r those??

[@AngelG11]

that set sound so nice

[@frusciboy]

very nice,although i would prefer less chops,but still it's pretty good,i like his feel. do the toms have something on top of them?

[@allstar550]

That kit sounds niiiice

[@rijnmarmusic]

@TwoKindsOfRight yes they are. but someone told me they dont make em anymore.. so you gotta find someone that wants to sell such a kit (which is unlikely i think haha)

[@Bango61]

Whoever says his fills are out of time has no idea what they're talking about. Syncopation and playing on the up beat are very important for a drummer, unless you just wanna play rock n roll.

[@BrynnerAgassi]

VERY good! keep this up J!

[@angryben18]

Wow good skills mate just wondering what type of kit that is?

[@FirePheonixDrummer]

Nice job JBass and Lamont, what kind of cymbals are being used? They sound sweet

[@Vincinho7]

great skills dude! what snare do you use please? i want the same! lol!

[@Abgulu]

This guy is amazing and all, but no one in their right mind would hire him for a recording session. Amateur ears will get thrown off by his upbeat fills and syncopation. Hes got some sort've weird/original style going on. Props to him.

[@AngelG11]

How do you keep track of what you're doing in those fills (O_O) i can NOT do fills like that for my LIFE lol i wanna get better at the drums and the piano. this was HOTTTTT

[@lajarvious]

i like it wats dha snare u usin

[@nanoux]

that snare is a killer

[@tyrantfaZz]

Amazing drum kit and great playing. What snare is that?!

[@aerospacer1]

This guy rocks. Does anyone know what sticking (hand/foot) combos he's playing?

[@kooking101]

good i like your off beat on beat stlye nice snair what kind?///////u rock

[@ShadowghostHALO3]

i love this snare so much omg...beast lol

[@rijnmarmusic]

@MrBarnett85 they're peavey radial series drum or something like that. someone told me that already;) but they also told me they dont make them anymore.. :(

[@Weallfart]

I wonder if he has gotten any drumming gigs because of these vids???

[@Abgulu]

hes not off time technically. hes extending the bar length.

[@sixstrangtommy]

That's talent when you can shed then fall back in pocket plus jam with a song. Then he all calm wit it.

[@MinJohnX]

Mystro I'm with you man. I'm not real big on pushing beliefs either but if the scenario was reversed, i.e. if the church came all up in the club singing amazing grace, then they would get all kinds of upset and go to calling people holy rollers and Jesus freaks. All I'm saying is there is a time and a place for everything and in the house of God it's NEVER a time nor is it EVER the place for this. Nuff said. No comeback necessary.

[@imse73]

sounds very good!!!

[@chosenband4]

Some music u dnt play n church but over all is he's good

[@givinitsome]

Just a sic groove man!

[@matheusferreira7229]

man... I dont know what happens in this church. Theese guys plays much much better than a lot of the gospel drummer in the world!

[@1stclassrecordings]

hey, mr. sigma. When someone plays like he plays with filling in any empty spot, that's just shed style. shed is like a jam session, but more a of show-off spot, the "overkill" is intended purposely

[@Graey]

that kit look hella nice

[@Marsalis77]

right i think i need 2 join that church lol

[@MrDJPK]

the song is jammie foxx rand b but the style is open funk

[@devildog621]

i agree, he gets off time in a few fills, but recovers quickly

[@willV]

fantastic grooving!

[@767vibes]

wat kind of a snare drum is his.? it sounds really good

[@madamejam]

I just saw another one of your videos and you were playing to a loop or with a bass player. How did learn to do metric modulation like that?

[@jroc63]

Hey guys - Thats a Peavey Kit!! Radial Pro Series!

[@26nbtr]

I like how he's playn slightly off beat... That shows the true skills he has

[@EBOOKER100]

I LOVE THIS SONG WAT IS IT

[@thelurewasher]

wow i havent seen a peavey drum set in years!

[@B3TILLO]

to me they have their own different style... well once you listen to then plenty of times like i do, i guess you start to notice each individual style in each song. =)

[@Weallfart]

@rijnmarmusic its a Peavey set..or maybe spelled Peavy...

[@catyson91]

@moderatoe thank you for being the only person that has some fully functional ears

[@rijnmarmusic]

@ScitsoWilkerson dude these are no fills, these are chops. you dont play em when needed, they+re a part of the beat/groove you play. and thats why it's such a complex way of drumming: you dont play your skills in fills that you've practiced at home. You play the chops during the whole time and use the basics of the chops to express your feelings during the song. so that means you play the basic (like a paradiddle) on other parts of the drumkit then you practiced at home. you play what u feel.

[@hollyswoosh4435]

Im back after 18 years ❤❤❤

[@roydied15]

@Bango61 as long as they come in on beat, a fill can be whatever you want. just my opinion.

[@czarlez]

syncopated notes.. the best

[@RnMCrow]

thats the style gospel drumming is one of the busiest drumming styles

[@phatpeople1234]

that was groovin/badass :D

[@Bozkicksyourface]

@dingdingbong1 well said mate. Absolutely spot on.

[@marcoze]

Killer man. I dont even listen to RnB, however great musicianship man.

[@mirrastyle4524]

some times hes crashing on the and of 1 i think, which i actually like.
