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
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
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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏
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
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!
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
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!!
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"
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.
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
That's cuz Calvin has influenced every church drummer in some way just because the fact that he's great, and of course he's played on most of the gospel records lol
Let me tell you what sets Calvin apart.. Know, you’re only gonna understand this if you Understand. I can’t explain it I can just tell you. The transition from Hat-Hat snare, Tum-Tum Bass Drum-Symbols Combinations are the best I know.. and his Kick-Drum that’s how I would know it was him if I was blind.
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!!!
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
Rich homie quan in the freakin way!
i jus died hahahahahahahahahaha
Lol man!
Hahahahahaha
Kmsl!!!! Good 1!!
+jamalb4life LMBO!!!!!!
The triplets he’s playing with his foot alone are crazy, even where he’s placing them 🙌🏿 🔥
In my opinion this is some of the sickest playing i heard from him
Calvin will always be Calvin, but those bass licks from 3:35-3:50 are ridiculous!
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
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
0:00-5:18
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
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
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.

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 just googled it and it is true!!! People are evil but God is good.
That bass at 3:37-3:42 is heavenly
Transition @4:17 Is CRAZY... Calvin Is A BEAST
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!

Point taken dude, would definitely pay to see it either way.
2022 ✊🏿🔥
The first song is Let the Praise Begin
HEY!!!! YOU IN THE SUIT!!! MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
calvin is beast!!!!
his fills just gave me life
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
this vid never gets old brah
I TOTALLY agree....
That's cuz Calvin has influenced every church drummer in some way just because the fact that he's great, and of course he's played on most of the gospel records lol

The transition from Hat-Hat snare, Tum-Tum Bass Drum-Symbols Combinations are the best I know.. and his Kick-Drum that’s how I would know it was him if I was blind.
