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
@@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.
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
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!
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!!! 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
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
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!
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.
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!
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!
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)
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.
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!!
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!!!
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.
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....👍🏽✌🏽
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 🥁😎💪💯
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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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. ☺️
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
Os pratos Meinl são extraordinários! Desde a primeira vez que ouvi, achei o timbre único (pleonasmo), limpo, brilhante, duração maravilhosa! Simplesmente incrível!
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!
James Rodgers p
James Rodgersio
This is awesome! So much love around the world for Mr Rodgers. x
Wow your cousin is one of my favorite drummers

Iam a gospel drummer in my local church, after I watched this video I will change my cymbal all to Meinl cymbals 👍🏻
Lol I'm not

Whoever mixed this is a boss. Love how the drums cymbals and everything sound. And Calvin crushes as always
Calvin Has always played with a lot of energy..Never over plays anything....Drums sound super clean..EXACTLY why he is my Favorite Drummer....
From 2:10 to 2:17 is crazy and Calvins' ability to lock the groove right back in is phenomenal
Calvin's sound is just perfect man. The move to Meinl was a good one. His cymbal selection just blends together with great harmony.

I swear, this man has the cleanest licks and solos in the business!!! Amazing!
so stinking awesome. doing it for the King too. whoop!
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
This man has a great understanding of how to play the concept of a song in the most beautiful way
Love this guy! Gotta watch every video he puts out
Amazing talent Calvin, and thank you for doing it for the Lord!
That bell at 1:26 is a thing of beauty.
One of the greatest gospel drummers out there, so clean
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.

Does anyone ever come back just to watch this video?
That's me now😂
Those cymbal combinations sound Amazing!!
Had to come back and revisit this amazing drum playing! 777
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

Such a legend.
Even his cymbal hange from Sabian to Meinl has made his set look even more professional and they sound great. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

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.
Praise the Lord! Its so great to see talented guy giving his talent back to Giver
Fill @ 2:12 is probably the hardest fill I have ever heard .
Calvin Rodgers exemplifies 'nasty' in the best way possible.. well done, sir.
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
Praise God for using the gift He gave you to glorify Him with! The cymbals are beast and compliment so well! Be blessed Brother!

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
