Jerry Gaskill is one of the greatest drummers ever to bash a kit. His name belongs up there with all of the greats. His beats are absolute perfection, show after show
Jerry is a class act and the most underrated drummer on the planet. Well, maybe I shouldn''t say he's underrated because everyone who's ever heard him play rates him great
My band opened up for Kings X in 1999. I was and still am a fan. I just so happened to see Jerry come out of their tour bus, so I quickly rushed over to say hi and give him a copy of our CD to check out. What a cool dude. I was just a 20yo kid at the time, and he was just so nice and took the time to chat with me. I’ll never forget that. I’ve never seen a better drummer live.
Got to chat with Jerry a couple of times over the years. Real nice down to earth guy. I switched from zildjian cymbals to paiste based on Jerry's sound and advice. It was an expensive undertaking but well worth it. Nothing beats the warm sound and consistancy of paiste signature and 2002 series cymbals. Love Kings x and Jerry's drumming.
Funny how these guy's tried to distance themselves from all things Christian,only to become a"Christian"band.Check out those lyrics on Gretchen,Faith..Even the video of"It's Love".What's with the Bread on the plate inside the cabin.?Lotta symbolism.I'm very grateful to these guys for their hard work,their superb songwriting and playing skills,their conviction/ representation(They used to work with Christian bands and it shows).
