Both in and out of the drum chair, Marvin McQuitty has worked with some of the most influential Gospel Artists ever and is considered by many to be a driving force in the Urban Praise and Worship movement... Artists like Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Israel and New Breed...and the list goes on.
With a style that combines in the pocket grooves with subtle, expressive ornamentation, he has been ranked alongside drum legends of today. Marvin first gravitated toward the drums at age three and began playing earnest on his own set when he was four.
McQuitty is quick to point out that playing in church can be as competitive as playing in any other genre of music. " I grew up in a really competitive church- there were like nine drummers waiting to play! It was the survival of the fittest. Playing, any style of music requires practice....so..Get To It! " |
