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 what "feel" is. The definition. The dude just has it
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 100% certain it's live audio :)
What do you mean ? Lol it's all live man... I've been there myself... @@1missing
@@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
From 2:10 to 2:17 is crazy and Calvins' ability to lock the groove right back in is phenomenal
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!!! 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
@PrettySimpleMusic Omg, it’s you! Your channel is amazing!
you are right.
Anybody who gave this video thumbs down is straight up, bonafide HATERS!!!!
Indeed this is just fun to learn
You got me in the first half, not gonna lie
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.
Even his cymbal hange from Sabian to Meinl has made his set look even more professional and they sound great. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whoever mixed this is a boss. Love how the drums cymbals and everything sound. And Calvin crushes as always
so stinking awesome. doing it for the King too. whoop!
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.
Calvin Has always played with a lot of energy..Never over plays anything....Drums sound super clean..EXACTLY why he is my Favorite Drummer....
That bell at 1:26 is a thing of beauty.
This man has a great understanding of how to play the concept of a song in the most beautiful way
Such a legend.
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
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
Had to come back and revisit this amazing drum playing! 777
#LEGENDARY even in 2022!!
One of the greatest gospel drummers out there, so clean
I swear, this man has the cleanest licks and solos in the business!!! Amazing!
Love this guy! Gotta watch every video he puts out
Amazing talent Calvin, and thank you for doing it for the Lord!
Absolutely love this tune and Calvin's drummin'!!
This is high level expression - every note came from deep within
this is sooooo good! love the drum gears too
So much talent! Unbelievable drummer!! oO and those cymbals! love it!
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
Spectacular!
Masteeeerrr.... please... more videos like this... you are the best ... i need to see more sr.... God bless ya so much sr.
Those cymbal combinations sound Amazing!!
Happy to see hes getting the exposure he deserves! Such a talent has to be seen! Definitely amazing!
Praise the Lord! Its so great to see talented guy giving his talent back to Giver
That whole drum set vibrates with joy
Everytime he performs this song it just gets better and better
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!
Holy field
Amen
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.
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
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!
Calvin U sir are incredible!!!Thank U for sharing!!!
Thanks Calvin, you blessed me.
Truly voicing the drums like no one else. Amazing.
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.
@@ryancox5097 LOOL
@@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.
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
My goodness, absolutely incredible. Speechless
Great video!!! unbelievable drummer, and amazing cymbals.
His playing is making my head spin... and I love it
Absolutely incredible performance! And damn, those cymbals sound BEAUTIFUL!
I'm just seeing this but OMG!!! This is amazing!!! Great Job Calvin!
Those toms are just perfect.
The whole kit sounds perfect.
Ikrrr
Just found this video while researching other Meinl cymbals to add to my collection and I am glad I found this. Outstanding playing and sound!!
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!
Love how this guy plays! Strong and accurate.

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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My God. As close to perfect as it gets 🤩
May God bless this man forever He and his f1mily
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.
That snare sounds unreallllllll!
That was so fun to watch!
Brilliant stuff.
