I think Calvin's timing and doubling with the foot pedal and snare paradidling is the key to understanding how he performed that amazing funky lick from 1:24 to 1:36. Very talented gospel drummer
Love watching Calvin play, he always finds ways to keep in time and to me he is the best MD our there for Fred Hammond at the time. I also like how he was ablw to look behind him and still keep the song flowing and the band grooving. The bass player is AWESOME also, as a matter of fact the whole band is just groovin. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏
WORK THAT STUFF OUT WITH A METRONOME OR DRUM MACHINE AT A SLOW TEMPO PLAY AROUND THE 2 AND 4 SNARE HITS UTILIZING LINEAR HAND AND FOOT COMBINATIONS OF SINGLES AND DOUBLE STROKES WHILE INCORPORATING A WIDE RANGE OF ACCENTS
Just a gospel classic. When the spirit of the lord is upon my heart. I don't think Fred Hammond made an actual song about that but i hear it in almost all his concerts.
Guys pause this video right quick, we need to pray for Calvin Rodgers and his family! Calvin was robbed & beaten right in front of his family, both of his arms are now broken. PLEASE KEEP HIM UP IN PRAYER! THERE IS A TESTIMONY THAT IS GOING TO COME OUT THIS WHEN HE RECOVERS! I CAN FEEL IT!
JSMOOV88....YOU HAD THE BEST COMMENT ABOUT DRUMMERS I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE! Although they each have their style of drumming expression, the sheer "monsterism" (made up a word) that would occur between those two guys would be insane!!
You guys that are saying that u wanna smack the guy in the brown suit know that u would not wanna move from that spot either so chill out and just be happy u got to see this video
This guy is a beast. is he fred hammond drummer if so i see why. i always wanted growing up to be fred hammond drummer. but This Guy deserves to keep his job.
I am so mad I wasnt there to see the hardest working Drummer in the Gospel Play I wouldnt know what to do I'll raise him an offering right there . "lol"
when he came to san antonio he busted the head on his kick and still had chops for days.... he told the sound guys next to me to turn up his floor tom mike. and he used it as his kick.......and his ghost notes make me wanna fight someone
idk if this helps but as far as I know from learning. he usually tunes his bottom heads tighter then the top heads in both snare and toms. make sure the wires and lugs are even.. and as far as type of stuff he uses he is endorsed by evans he normally uses the "Power center Dot" For the snare. and I think He uses EC2 clears for the toms if that helps and drum craft is who he is with of course he uses that aryclic idk what its called but its a clear set he uses on tour with fred hammond
I suppose we can't really judge Calvin on these vids alone, these are professional gigs after all. But I have never seen someone understand the concept of time better than Chris Coleman, he is the living embodiment of rhythm and groove.
I come here everyday just to hear 1:27 - 1:38
. Rebancos Elijah Flores EXACTLY
Same 8 years later lol
😂😂😂 same here.
I SEARCH FOR IT IN THE VID...iTs crazy how a fill just sticks with you...
I need a chop breakdown!!!
The triplets he’s playing with his foot alone are crazy, even where he’s placing them 🙌🏿 🔥
My Favorite lick is between 3:05 - 3:14. That's why he is my favorite drummer from all the drummers I know.
Mines also
In my opinion this is some of the sickest playing i heard from him
Been watchin this guy since I was 12 & I still can't do anything he does!!!!!! Lol...... Keep it up CRod.

A@@@a
Q
What he does is explainable. How he places it, is what can't be replicated!
I believe that’s a backing track playing the paradiddles lol

How can he fit that much funk in that space between 1:26 - 1:36 ??!!!!!
Literally took 10 seconds to get everyone screaming like little girls lol (myself included 😂)
groove4dayz That's one nasty series of roles

I'm glad so proud to be a COGIC drummer, y'all had the drums tuned.....and made Calvin feel at home on the set
I WAS THERE!!! I'm the Drummer of the COGIC Philippine Jurisdiction Headquarters...
Just a gospel classic. When the spirit of the lord is upon my heart. I don't think Fred Hammond made an actual song about that but i hear it in almost all his concerts.
I swear...1:27 to 1:38 made me scream like a crazy person... And I'm not even a drummer... drummers must be having a darn good time😆😆
Peep how he keeps his composure. I’m glad I can say I’ve studied this man. I see why he gets INSTANTLY hired

This guy has the gift. What else can I say?
Fred and Calvin. These two together aint fair. But I cant stop watching them!!!
King of the sickest gospel drummers. Pocket. Clean. Nasty!
Calvin Rodgers really a living Legend🐐💯.
That bass at 3:37-3:42 is heavenly

Calvin Rodgers will play on my album one day... Asè
I am so mad I wasnt there to see the hardest working Drummer in the Gospel Play I wouldnt know what to do I'll raise him an offering right there . "lol"

The first song is Let the Praise Begin
Blessings flowing. 👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿

Calvin just destroys the drums amazing
If i could only move my brother in the brown suit for 5 minutes and 18 seconds!!! CALVIN IS A BEAST!
"They That Wait" from his Love Unstoppable CD. I think it came out around 2009 or 2010.
idk if this helps but as far as I know from learning. he usually tunes his bottom heads tighter then the top heads in both snare and toms. make sure the wires and lugs are even.. and as far as type of stuff he uses he is endorsed by evans he normally uses the "Power center Dot" For the snare. and I think He uses EC2 clears for the toms if that helps and drum craft is who he is with of course he uses that aryclic idk what its called but its a clear set he uses on tour with fred hammond
Deryck Rimson That’s what you’re supposed to do when tuning
Floor tombs sound amazzing!!!!!!!!
the best drummer
Did anybody else see josh mayfield reaction to that first they that wait chop
Jared McCormick dude face was like "I think he just broke the church."

4:17 that roll was soo crazy.. and then to go back into the pocket mannnnnnnnn
@Bass5or6 truss, not leaving out calvin but the bass player's killin boy!!!
I suppose we can't really judge Calvin on these vids alone, these are professional gigs after all. But I have never seen someone understand the concept of time better than Chris Coleman, he is the living embodiment of rhythm and groove.
A 9 Milly on the drums.... straight beast!!!!!
Awesome!!!
Will do man. Will do. Thats crazy.
i love how the fella holds eyes and slowly sits baq after 1:27 like "my God, Calvin's done it again".. lol
@dillaman1986 its a FlipShare HD camera...the latest one thats out.
Calvin a legend
1:24 that's how "They that wait" should be played
haha his hand flying back down the bass reminds me of a block in kung fu, his arm went so fast with so much control
MY NEW FAVE DRUMMA!!!! (I THINK)
2022 ✊🏿🔥
Josh Mayfield reaction at 1:34 is priceless lol...like OMG dis dude
