What a fantastic performance, Calvin Rodgers never leaves the pocket even for a moment! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more videos like this!
I literally sat here for this whole song and kept time to see if he leaves pocket for even for a split second and he absolutely did not. and yet still had excellent/smooth licks. Calvin Rodgers remains a beast.
He’s been getting in and his shine on since the age of 14 with Ricky Dillard. People just didn’t realize who he was until he began hitting with John Kee at Bobby Jones outside gospel fest.
For all who are talking about only gospel music please think again. This dude does things many top drummers who are called great still struggling to do. This man like Kirk Franklin and Andrae Crouch revolutionized gospel music, he revolutionized drumming altogether. You go Calvin.
Calvin Rodgers is the best drummer i have ever heard. The talent pool in gospel drumming is deep. You can catch unknown talent anywhere behind the kit, especially in cogic.
Why are you crying? Calvin Rogers been a legend in church scene for over 20yrs, anybody just finding out about him is LATE like they usually are when it comes to the talent in the premiere musical institution of America (the black church) lol
I have a neighbor kid, maybe late 20's, who walked by one day talking how he missed playing drums for a church because of transportation and family matters. And knowingly being a guitar player and having an electronic drumset in my music room that i used probably a dozen times, because of the use of a Roland tr-8 I use frequently, said "Hey, do you want a drumset"? So if you ever seen anyone skip down thee road with a drumset, I still don't know who was happier:)
For those saying he is finally getting his shine, I thought he has been like the #1 gospel drummer for years now. 🤷🏽♂️ He is a consummate professional and knows how to stay in the pocket although he definitely has licks. The young drummers should also note, he reached to adjust his ear piece once and that was because he needed to, not to look cool.
This Brother is a monster , for the people who gave this video thumbs down, ur lost souls, look C-Rod up he by far is in the top1% of Smokin Drummers on the planet and his playing can back it up ,,Might I add with EASE ,,,Peace
What a phenomenal performance from my friend Calvin Rodgers! Of the 15 dislikes?? You are entitled to your opinion of course, but what is to dislike about this clean, professional playing?? If you meet Calvin, he is indeed humble, down to earth and means nobody any harm.
It’s impossible to know overstate the vibe in this song. Not even a gospel guy (I thought!). Calvin is so confident driving this train out of the station as it pulses and bounces from head to toe with the magic Calvin brings to this performance. Wearing out on repeat …
Whooo Go Calvin, He has worked so hard for so many years and its happening for him, all those years of hard work, practise and trusting in God is paying off🙌🏾🙏🏾💯
First of all if you're a drummer you have to like Calvin Rogers. And if you're a musician and you don't like Calvin Rogers something is wrong with you his style is clean syncopation is tight and that's all you need and a drummer and he always finds yourself back on the one
We did some live recording shoots for our church and he was the drummer we used. I got to stand 4feet from him the whole time. It was mesmerizing watching. So crisp.
Every song that Calvin plays, is amazing and so super clean and in the pocket of each song he plays not just for James Fortune but for the other gospel artists too. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🥁🥁🥁🥁
Thank you Sweetwater for highlighting an amazing drummer that a myriad of us have been following for years! He's unequivocally one of the greatest drummers/musicians of our generation. Thank you Calvin for being you bro and thank you Sweetwater for showcasing a man of great humility and God given talent! God bless ...
All The Flavors The Palate Can Handle, C Rod Supplies Each One Of Them Here On This Track!!! And Beyond What Our Taste Buds Can Take… So We Just Keep Absorbing What The Beast Delivers For Us!!! Amazing!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thanks Bruh✌🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

FINALLY GETTING THE SHINE AND PROPS HE DESERVED FOR YEARS! EASILY ONE OF THE GOATS OF GOSPEL/RNB DRUMS
😁👍
@FTMuikTV Big Facts He Been the Standard for years ‼️‼️‼️
He been getting his shine since the Marvin Sapp “Thirsty” album. Just on another level. The shine always been there. He been busy since.
He’s been getting in and his shine on since the age of 14 with Ricky Dillard. People just didn’t realize who he was until he began hitting with John Kee at Bobby Jones outside gospel fest.
@@JayA-uq6gb yup! I remember P. Kee and getting a early copy of Kim Burrell Live back in early 00’ and he was on it. Been a fan since that.
For all who are talking about only gospel music please think again. This dude does things many top drummers who are called great still struggling to do. This man like Kirk Franklin and Andrae Crouch revolutionized gospel music, he revolutionized drumming altogether. You go Calvin.
Amen!!!!

Well said
I can’t help but cry man. Calvin finally got the props he really deserves and this song is so befitting.
This song is a testimony to my life…beyond drumming

Had to remind us why he's the G.O.A.T 🔥🔥🔥
🐐
Now that's what a high and tight snare should sound like!
🔥🔥🔥
what he has is one of my lowest pitches for a snare lol
Calvin is playing his heart out on this one man!!
Calvin is one of the tightest drummers to play gospel music .
For those saying he is finally getting his shine, I thought he has been like the #1 gospel drummer for years now. 🤷🏽♂️ He is a consummate professional and knows how to stay in the pocket although he definitely has licks.

Thanks for your observation about the earpiece adjustment
Whoops… looks like 5 people accidentally disliked this. This is SMOKING! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 You killed it Calvin ✊🏾
Let's NOT forget how DOPE his set sounds!! I'd could only dream of that sound at my church!!!
My fav part of this video is not only Calvin killin, it’s no advertisement in the beginning.
This Brother is a monster , for the people who gave this video thumbs down, ur lost souls, look C-Rod up he by far is in the top1% of Smokin Drummers on the planet and his playing can back it up ,,Might I add with EASE ,,,Peace
What I love about Calvin Rogers, is that he looks like he’s having the time of his life grooving away. What a blessing.
We have been blessed with another video of Calvin
😎👍
Rodgers, Coleman, Royster, Moore nuff said. Who am I kidding there are a sea of extremely talented drummers out there lol..
What a phenomenal performance from my friend Calvin Rodgers! Of the 15 dislikes?? You are entitled to your opinion of course, but what is to dislike about this clean, professional playing?? If you meet Calvin, he is indeed humble, down to earth and means nobody any harm.
I agree Cuz… knowing Calvin’s personality shines thru his playing as well…
It’s impossible to know overstate the vibe in this song. Not even a gospel guy (I thought!). Calvin is so confident driving this train out of the station as it pulses and bounces from head to toe with the magic Calvin brings to this performance. Wearing out on repeat …
Playing is always phenomenal. Can we talk about those pumas? There 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
