Teddy Campbell: Why?

This song is produced by Cornell Thigpen & myself. Cornell on keys Eric Ingram on bass Jonathan Dubose Jr on guitar.

[@buddyrichforever]

This is why teddy will outlast and have a far more enriched career than most drummer from the same stable. He not a gospel chops drummer. He's something far greater. This is a drummer you can rely on to get the job done and with incredible musicianship and taste. This is the drummer to meet all situations. If you have an album to record look no further. Teddy will be getting "the call" for the rest of his working life as the approach he takes is really whats needed in the realities of making music and recording. Of all the fast crazy drummers out there teddy is the one who can teach the most important lesions. Getting the gig is what this guy is all about. Something we all should aspire to.

[@jjodom7207]

I could listen to him play any style and you can't say that about a lot of drummers. Gospel chops are cool for about 30 seconds but there isn't a lot of musicality to it. Teddy is a true drummers drummer.

[@jjodom7207]

Forgot to mention I ripped the audio from this video just so I could listen to anytime I want! ;-)

[@GeoffGillDrums]

AMEN ! loved this & i know almost nothing about Teddy. the perfect take here w/ fire, sizzle & chops used in passionate/musical ways. great.

[@guidryjoseph44]

Well said bro,,

[@jerometremble4770]

so True.. one of the 1st on the seen....

[@QCRSK8]

I swear, this guy might be the best at making an entire song totally music, damn I mean during the entire song nothing he did was out of place, nothing...he also played at different volumes....absolutely made love to the kit....

[@TheCDUBBrand]

Man this immediately brought tears to my eyes smh. RIP Cornell....

[@bentaylordrums]

His touch and dynamic control is just sickeningly good

[@HeartofRhythm]

Heres an example of a drummer keeping the integrity of the music while honestly expressing themselves. You truly became that song thats the type of drummer I strive to be. Blessing to you sir!

[@KingKleanfacerMausberg1009]

The melody though and his playing is everything!

[@andyspofforth171]

This is a total masterclass in dynamic,light and shade drumming,playing the tune,not just showing chops...unbelievable power and taste to support the soloists.

[@20103million]

Soooo Sick!! Quite Unbelievable!!! Teddy's syncopations All 4 of them killed it! Corn, Eric, Jonathan!! Soo much skill and passion!! HOT SONG!!

[@jamsjr44]

the 13 people that don't like this must not be musicians or drummers!!

[@jamesshelby4076]

Maybe they don't like the song. Can't possibly see a complaint about the drumming.

[@tkat191]

Teddy is so in the track and Jonanthan Dubose jr. sounds like heaven when he plays guitar.

[@ChrisJEnglish]

Teddy Campbell is my favorite out of all the "Super-Chop Gospel Drummers" very tasty musical sensibility. Get's his chops in delicately, never seems forced. Brilliant player, deserves all his huge success.

[@TheWardrumma]

Teddys technique and dynamics with his cymbals is unbelievable

[@jonathanthomas9485]

This is how it's done & what I call loving on the track. He took his time to feel his way through this and masterfully rocked it. Rock, rock on Teddy!

[@saul7885]

Damn! That was awesome and I can't stop watching it!!!!!

[@fweddyfwintsone4491]

*I held my breath all **6:30** of this video. That's just how crisp the sound was* My brother is a percussionist hence why I appreciate the art of percussion instruments.

[@godwinisibor3080]

Great piece Mr Teddy. I really enjoyed it most especially the intervals and the fills. Thumbs up #TeddyCampbell

[@HenryPerez_royal_hp]

The fill that starts at 3:33 omg! only a drummer can fully comprehend just how amazing that feels, it's all highlighted in teddy's body language when he strikes the crash....just awesome stuff from Master Campbell as usual!

[@celcik]

Mr Teddy Campbell - they way you play is a great inspiration for me - big thanks!!

[@bayce3]

[@gjcart26]

[@danieltempotchinga626]

[@lincolncalvin5876]

I like his playing he has respect for the pocket and knows where to drop his feels...and works space well. Great playing

[@alexhardin610]

Maaaaaan…I’ve been coming back to this for the past 12 years. The musicality, technique, style, dynamics still amaze me.

[@jimpanse1932]

Mr. Campbell, a great example of what a drummer ISSSSS....just a musician who has the right to be part of what its all about. really really great. a joy listen to it. @g. sheridan: i agree, no more to say :)

[@docjones5096]

SO Clean Doc!!!! Hey Tina---you standing behind him makes him bedda baby..js

[@BassMecca312]

Man. Perfect example of how to combine groove, chops, finesse and power as needed. Teddy's use of dynamics is unheralded.

[@CarlaRFowler]

You need to put out your wedding song I loved it. We have been thru our ups and downs.....

[@athomp2006]

A very musical drummer who has a deep understanding and mastery of the instrument and how it all 'tastefully' fits into the structure of the music he is playing.

[@educapro]

Boss tune. Teddy knocks it out of the park. Killin' it Teddy...thats the way you play with varying dynamics, color, timbre and just a simply great ear that's technically simplistic. I gained a little inspiration back...Respect. -educapro

[@Richardfson]

Teddy Campbell one of the greats, and my all time favorite.

[@Tjarven]

[@wphh7272]

[@RodZilla11]

KsndDEF Not bragging, but Chicago has a multitude of AMAZING DRUMMERS: Calvin Rodgers, Kahari, Rexsell Hardy Jr., Josiah Maddox, Michael Witherspoon, Clemon Poindexter, Dwayne Deo Bradford, etc. We are a city full of top notch musicians on every instrument. We have really been blessed with some talented guys from all generations and genres of music.
