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
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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏
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
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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"
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
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
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!!!
The triplets he’s playing with his foot alone are crazy, even where he’s placing them 🙌🏿 🔥
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
In my opinion this is some of the sickest playing i heard from him
Been watchin this guy since I was 12 & I still can't do anything he does!!!!!! Lol...... Keep it up CRod.

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
Still fire in 2021

Calvin Rodgers is the best drummer in the world right now, hands down!!

Point taken dude, would definitely pay to see it either way.
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!!
That would be one of the greatest shed sessions ever!!
This guy has the gift. What else can I say?
Just a blessing yo I pray and hope to be on that level one day
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!

tzavarious81 they that wait on the Lord
That was tight.
i love how the fella holds eyes and slowly sits baq after 1:27 like "my God, Calvin's done it again".. lol
"They That Wait" from his Love Unstoppable CD. I think it came out around 2009 or 2010.
