Man, I could feel the Holy Spirit in you! I'm a drummer that stoped playing almost 15 years ago. Now, that I'm 40 years old, I decided return to play and your video was the most inspirational that I saw. Cheers from Brazil. May the peace o Jesus Christ the lord be with you.
I've been playing drums longer than you been on the planet. Your instruction gives me the confidence to articulate like the bad assed players of today, Thank you Bruh!
So glad i finally found you! You can tell by the comments that your on to something! Your approach to linear drumming is what lead to a serious breakthrough for me and I'm so grateful! Thank you so much!
This video is very helpful not only for beginners but to drummers who are new to gospel drumming as well! Thanks for making this video! It's truly a blessing for all of us!
I'm 42... A drum teacher and raised in church. Salute to you for having chops and bring able to explain and break down this genre. We have some great drummers in the church but some very poor teachers when it comes to explaining. Awesome job!!!!!!
Never heard of you until tonight. Hands down one of the best explanations and tutorials I’ve seen on gospel chops drumming. Subbed straight away. Can’t wait to start practising all these. Thank you so much 🙏
Update… I just realised how much I suck as a drummer because I couldn’t even get the first exercise down pat. I struggled with your slowest speed (100bpm), so I had to drop it down to 80bpm… I could only last about 15 seconds before limbs were unco and hitting at the same time 🤦♂️ I tried 90bpm but that just made it worse. I guess I’ll stick to 80bpm for a while until I can really nail it … for at least a minute before increasing tempo again. Thank you for the lesson. Cheers From Australia
What a blessing this video can save a tooon of money on lessons lol, thank k you Calvin you killed it Finally a great straight forward video on linear drumming, sometimes it feels like drummers with those chops don’t want to let the secret out or something, you’re the man!!
How come I've only just come across this name today? Well, it's my daughter's birthday today. Mine was yesterday and I'm grateful that I found this channel and this video in particular on this special day. Your way of teaching stuff is refreshingly different and really cool. I guess you're one of a few drum teachers here who really want the students to learn anything at all-no pump; no fanfare! I've subbed and I'm going to begin practicing the fills almost immediately. My daughter, Andrea Sena-Ter Chimamanda sends her love.
This has been a tremendous blessing brother. I will be shedding this sole video for the next couple of months. I appreciate your generosity and I receive the best for you my brother
It's one thing to be able to play these fills but when you can teach others to play them in an easy to understand and learn manner, you Sir, are a master of your craft! Thank you so much for sharing!
of all the gospel drum gods i've seen here in YT, this vid makes me understand what they were doing, simple and explained it well, kudos to you Sir, I'm not into gospel or RnB style (Metal Drummer here) but definitely I could use some of this exercise and incorporate to my chop library thanks Man!!
Calvin: Indeed the chops you played were good, but with all due respect, it'd be helpful to have the score displayed at the bottom of the video please. As I am a worship drummer, it's good to have this resource. Thanks
If you can read music than you can transcribe what he’s doing, also a great skill to work up off the kit. Just watch and listen carefully and write it out. Cheers!
Mighty good stuff. I'm thinking about getting back into drumming after a 30-year break. Did a practice session recently with a gospel group. Interesting, challenging, and optimistic.

Well said Adruma Victoria. Ditto for me, Calvin Fenner
Very cool. I can use all of this. The challenging part is implementing this into my own muscle memory
As a gospel drummer. These are the foundation!!! Great lesson bro

I have always been SUPER jealous of the way gospel players handle the kit. Thank you for this!
You are so welcome!
I've never commented on a video before, but this, I must comment. God bless you bro.

@@RexyFan man it’s ok! I routinely learn new things as slow as 45-60bpm
