Influences: Playing for 30 years Earl’s influences started off with Keith Staten (church drummer/lead singer of Commissioned), Michael Williams (Commissioned) and then from there a wide range of jazz (Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Buddy Rich), R&B (The Jacksons, Cameo, Lakeside, The Gap Band, Parliament Funkedelics, Sly & the Family Stone, Prince) Rock (Van Halen, The Beatles, Kiss, Led Zepplin, Billy Joel, Chicago) Gospel (Commissioned, The Winans, Andre’ Crouch, The Hawkins Family, Dr. Charles Fold & the Charles Fold Singers).All these influences melded together to create a style that is driving, passionate, tasteful and best of all in the pocket.
