This is one of the best examples of Meinl's sound I have ever seen. This man gets the absolute most out of his cymbals and they sound perfect on this track. Good job to the both of you. Meinl and Calvin.
Calvin's sound is just perfect man. The move to Meinl was a good one. His cymbal selection just blends together with great harmony. Dont get me started on the sound/tuning on them drums 🤦🏾♂️
I'm fairly certain that they don't record the audio live on these MEINL drum videos, so who knows what kind of production went into making them sound that way.
@@1missing We record the audio live. Artists either bring backing tracks to play to or they bring a band to play to and we record their drumming live. The only "production" is having an incredibly experienced audio engineer who knows his profession. - Chris/Meinl
@@meinlcymbals Hmm, I don't know. There was one video you guys put out where the audio and video didn't match up for this one particular hit. It was super subtle and hardly noticeable, but upon slowing it down I was fairly certain that they didn't match up. Or maybe I'm just fuckin crazy lol
This is so awesome, honestly i’ve never heard nothing like this! Keep expressing and showing the world the amazing gift the lord gave you, what an magnificent and beautiful skill you have!
I gave this a thumbs down 👎 in fact I had to use my wife’s cell phone to post this comment because this dude’s performance just BLEW UP MY PHONE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Awesome job bro... (May God continue to bless you and may this video get 1,000,000 views!) To the haters who gave this video a thumbs down, go practice and you’ll see how difficult this is to play!!! 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
So I'm a Holy Spirit filled Christian and drummer. I've not heard of Calvin but I saw the video title and said I bet he's awesome and the Holy Spirit came over me. So I decided to listen. The Holy Spirit is always right. Wow!
@@ryancox5097 I don't understand how anybody can give this man a thumbs down. I am not even a christian (or even close) but this mans drumming was top notch. Before I responded to you, I checked your channel out. I liked. what I heard when you played in that competition at guitar center.
Calvin… Calvin… my guy… wow!!! Made that kit live and when you did that rhythm change before the vamp… all I could think about is what you’ve been through. So glad you’re still here blessing us with your anointing my friend!!! Keep up the great work
The production quality on these videos is as top notch as the drumming they capture. It is so refreshing to be able to distinctly hear ghost notes in video footage instead of just "knowing they are there" because you can see it. These overhead angles are beautiful. The cymbals sound phenomenal. Thanks yall
This man just keeps getting better and better... and it goes beyond just practicing. And the 362 people who clicked the thumbs down button are either soulless, jealous or both.
Calvin+Meinl= Blessed Bliss! He will always stand out from many gospel drummers. He's not all chops... He still has amazing tasteful fills and patterns that always blend in so well, but he definitely has an old school feel at the same time. Gotta Respect him!
It’s been 10 minutes since I watched Mr. Calvin destroy that drum kit with his mighty and anointed playing, and my mouth is still hanging wide open in amazement and awe! That might be the best sounding drum kit that I have ever heard. Excellence all around!
3:44-3:54 I'm slain in the Spirit. Shoutouts to Meinl Great choice. Great brand ambassador and timeless. Calvin has never ever disappointed and yes that one Tom that sets him apart from the rest, what a mix. Shout out to James Fortune and Fiya your ministry has always been anointed (relevant and in season)
Calvin!!! Some of your Best Work To Date!!! I Love Seeing Your Evolution as You Soar Into The Stratosphere Of Drumming/Music!!!! Continued Blessings Bruh....👍🏽✌🏽
My God My God the anointing is definitely on this one here this is so awesome right here !!! Mr. Calvin this is awesome so awesome definitely inspiring me as a new drummer I’m so new to drums because I played 🎹 keys originally. This is awesome thank You for sharing your gift from God to the world Mr. Calvin.
Ands THAT’S how you play for the King! Amazing chops, single stroke rolls from another dimension, serious grooves, and not overplaying!! Calvin Rodgers is the TRUTH!!
Great video. ☺️ I was watching a reaction to this video on Joshua Crawford's UA-cam Channel ages ago and I was watching this video all day yesterday on my mum's computer and I love it. ☺️
bro you are killing still i remember when we were in school together and you use to beat on the table but look what God has done for you and man you are awesome bro!!!
Calvin is absolutely a genius at the drums, A genius and a mentor to many gospel musicians and drummers around the world. His foot technique is flawless with that tripple bass drum technique that he uses, his drum solo is absolutely amazing and every time I watch him play this song I havd to either slow the video down to understand it or just watch very carefully. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I absolutely love you Calvin Rodgers... I'm also a drummer... Your GOD giving gift is amazing... You are a inspiration brother.... Calvin keep killing the set... Much love 🥁😎💪💯
It is a scorching hot take from the first note! Then at 4:30 the intensity ratchets up to some unreal level that comes through the screen and speakers at you like a tidal wave. Thank you for sharing your gift Calvin Rodgers, I am so grateful for the inspiration.
Absolutely amazing, so talented & so kind of you to share some technical info at the end. You're inspirational! Sends joy, hope & happiness straight from my ears...to my soul.x
YEAH BOY!!!! Big Call!!! I BLESS GOD FOR YOUR RETURN!! (Not that you ever left) I'm just excited to hear your style of playing again!! Your forever in my prayers!!! Be blessed!!! Go get umm!!!
Omg I Have Never Heard This Kind Of MIXING And MASTERING ! Damn ! Calvin's Drum Skills + Awesome Mixing= God Level. Did U Listen The Toms? Never Heard That Great Tuned Tom ! Just Mind Blown!
Dude you are one Anointed beast on those drums.i started out playing drums now im a organ and 🎹 man but ill never let go of my first gift that God BLESSED me with good job Mr calvin i wish i could play like you
BROVO. Fantastic. My compliment To Calvin Rogors on being a fantastic drummer. And you got that pearl drum kit dialed in HOT!. I Personally don't think I've ever heard a better sounding drum kit. I went online to peal international and checked out how the drums were made at the the pearl factory. From start to finish I believe second to none. Thanks Calvin for the video.
Calvin you slayme.every time man. #tighterthanaTick! I dont understand how you even here that track in your head before it translates to your limbs. Unbelievable work. Big fan here. It all started with Fred Hammond where I heard you first. And Marvin McQuitty set me up. I was looking for him again after Purpose by Design, and stumbled onto you. Props man I friggin love how you interpret a song! Nabster in Nashville
Iam a gospel drummer in my local church, after I watched this video I will change my cymbal all to Meinl cymbals 👍🏻
So glad Calvin isn't in worship band with me, because I would constantly forget to play while watching him, lol
This is my cousin expressing his amazing gift. Your dad would be so proud of you I know I am!

This is awesome! So much love around the world for Mr Rodgers. x

Love this guy! Gotta watch every video he puts out
Amazing talent Calvin, and thank you for doing it for the Lord!
Even his cymbal hange from Sabian to Meinl has made his set look even more professional and they sound great. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

MY NAME JOHN SAUCE
YES
@Amanda G No, it's not. Your response is not conclusive because, trust me, you've never allowed yourself to be used by Him.
That moment of bliss when James calls you on to take us to heaven with your solo.... ohhh that arrangement in verse two... Will never grow old
From 2:10 to 2:17 is crazy and Calvins' ability to lock the groove right back in is phenomenal
Who even wastes their time with a thumbs down!? This guy is a beast!... awesome playing. To those hating... where's your videos at!?
My guess is UA-cam bots. It’s a shame, I don’t think those bots even watched vid, they really missed out
I'm guessing the thumbs down are all folks who tried to grow a beard half as gnarly as Calvin's.

Impeccable timing and groove. How he does this is beyond me.
He's most likely been doing this every day since he was a little boy, that's how you get this good at an instrument
Praise God for using the gift He gave you to glorify Him with! The cymbals are beast and compliment so well! Be blessed Brother!
One of the greatest gospel drummers out there, so clean
Had to come back and revisit this amazing drum playing! 777

Im usually a sabian guy but after hearing that ride cymbal, im convinced i need it in my life.
That ride is definitely nice!
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Well that was the purpose of this video.
What ride is this? It sounds amazing.
This man just keeps getting better and better... and it goes beyond just practicing. And the 362 people who clicked the thumbs down button are either soulless, jealous or both.
Praise the Lord! Its so great to see talented guy giving his talent back to Giver
Happy to see hes getting the exposure he deserves! Such a talent has to be seen! Definitely amazing!
Hands down top drummer of all time...definitely the best gospel drummer
I'd love to see Calvin and Chris Coleman go at it
You gotta check out larnell lewis
Check out all the Zildjian Live videos, all the features drummers are absolute weapons just like Calvin
larnell calvin and coleman definitely the top 3
This man is my mentor and I don't regret following him. I love Calvin and just can't love him less. So distinct
