I've been rockin with John P Kee since 1994. Im 33 now and he is still my favorite.

somebody labeled him COLD-BLOODED. YEP, I agree. REALLY? aint no words to describe this man. he is very talented. I can't understand how he plays all them poly-rhythms, but still manages to fall in-time with the song's structrure. it ain't just him, most of them new-skool Gospel Boys all got that same thing. it's a nu way of playing drums. me being old-skool, I flat-out love what these cats are doing now adays.

...it's their internal clock...which is always "groove perfect" :-) Drummers like CJ, Tony Royster Jr and Thomas Pridgen seem to approach doing really fast fills, almost like Trinity's building leap in the first Matrix movie :-) They "leave the ground" on a beat (and not always a downbeat) of their internal clock, then just let their muscle memory take over "in the air"! Lol! Their internal clock is locked/synced to "the groove", so all they need to do to "stick the landing" is re-assert control on "the one". Being able to consistently "land on the one" is what motivates these guys...not the fills.

I gotta say after durrher listening I wanna say thw rhythm section on a whole is just in the zone. I feel like yall just living in the sweet spot here. Your hits/attack are absurdly tight together. Truly inspiring. I'd kill for a rhythm section like that. I mean i have agreat bassist, but drums are tricky because we in the strings often speak a different languag with the bassist kinda being like the interpreter.
