Calvin has the BEST pocket out of all the other drummers I have seen on YT, this is probably why he has gotten so many gigs and able to play with so many people not just in the Gospel arena but with secular artist as well. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Calvin will always be my favourite drummer especially in Gospel music. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The parts that they aren't hyped about Calvin's pocket need to be learned the most. Drummers: Your pocket gets you employed, not the ghost licks or rudiments. Learn how to play in the pocket, please.

@2:45. Calvin gave that death stare. He was sayin...."Boy dont mess up my pocket!!!!!"

I look at people being amazed with my gift as a opportunity to minister to them. It never fails, whenever God moves in a mighty way through my worship & praise to him as a bass player, I am always approached by people telling me how good I am. I share with them my testimony on how God has molded me to be a MINISTER of music, not just a musician. There is a BIG difference. A seed is planted for upcoming musicians to play wholeheartedly for Christ instead of the camera.

To show you how great the guy is even J Drew pulls out a cam. He has most drummers respect.

Awesome drums.. bassman is killing it too!

That ride is sick

yes calvin is a drummers favorite drummer...he sure is one of mine. he's so tight words cant describe it

Am I the only one who got scared when Calvin looked back at 2:44 lol

Wow..this is awesome. Good job!!

reminds me of carter beauford. was waiting for some of those drumfills in 5's.

simply the best in gospel...

Man I wish they had a church half as cool as this in my area.

Wonderful

watching this video made me thought i was this close )- -( to Calvin he's awesome ... god bless us

wooooooo! bass run @ 5:36 !

Thank you! I waz wonderin that too.

@phatyg77 Amen, I've been a Church/Band musician for a while now, Everytime the Worship team goes on, people think we do it for show, I am praising God with my abilities, and yes, sometimes as humans we get excited, but It annoys how the whole service/worship is done with cellphones up or cameras recording. Praise the Lord, not us.

If it wasnt for these people recording at this event. we wouldnt be watchin this video. This was a musical so nobody is tripping over recording This is how some musicians get inspired to get better and Calvin is like every bodies hero right now. Moments like this NEED TO BE RECORDED

I understand the whole thing of "praise the Lord, not us" and all that. Understandable, but what are the CHANCES of getting stuff like this? I do see cameras n all but did this ever come to DVD? I actually learn from these type of videos. God given talent Calvin has!

I know this clip is about Calvin Rodgers, but that bass player was diggin in that bass.

NIIIIIICE stix !!!

WOW!

Agreed, however different people do it for different reason. drumming is my ministry and when I do something like this(recording during service) its because I need the inspiration and added skills so I can sharpen my ministry. Pastors sit and watch other pastors preach, singers watch others singers. I am just saying, IN MY OPINION thats why I do it

Give me a pocket drummer anyday

Anybody have an idea on what type of Sabian AA Ride that is?

Calvin is Mr. Pocket, all day!!

calvin is the best gospel drummer. i wonder if his snare is really tight on the batter cuz it sounds good. can someone help me out!!

@2screenboy101 no i think they are his signature sticks..last time i saw him they were 721's

5:36 OMGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bass

5:37 ..... Can anybody explain that bass lick?

ONE MORE CALVIN!!!!

@phatyg77 I'm a musician myself so I know how it is. But God is always the focus and 2 Kings 3:15 is always evident when I play. But at the same time there's nothing wrong with enjoying what you do. You can worship God without looking so zoned out and "deep" all of the time.

Calvin man!!!!!

Snoop 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bass 5:37

You Can tell Rod The MD For freddy cause the keyboard player and bass player lookin back at em lol......

Hey when something sounds good and blends with what your ear is looking for brands of equipment don't matter. Do you see other keyboardist tripping over what boards that don't match their Korg,Roland or Yamaha? Nope...they use those boards because of the patches in there for different reasons.

@drummerboii15 cool we have to continue to raise the standard.

I was just about to put dat hahaha

is that Cornell Thigpen or Phillip Feaster on keys?

most of them are actually church drummers or started out there, so you would still be learning more from the same type of drummer.

I think its Amazing that we pass so much Judgement about everything. This is a midnight musical not necessarily a service. People only go to these because they have Major artists performing. This is more like christian entertainment IMO & there's nothing wrong with people being excited about seeing and hearing ppl they don't get a chance to be around often. Ask yourself why ur on youtube is it 2 see the very thing that ur judging? I would say so. Why get autographs & Keepsakes? ins

You right about that. Everybody gotta be so technical. smh

@Nasute yea snoop is crazy on bass

Que crack

CALVIN ROGERS IS A PROS PRO!!!

someone tell me who is that on keys cuz dats not phillip feaster

Anyone else see j. drew sheard behind Calvin Rodgers??

1:06 - I quit playing drums

@phatyg77 I understand what you're saying but you gotta remember the culture of COGIC. Its a denomination with a lot of traditional and well known theatrics. When you think about it that way you wouldn't be so quick to judge. Because that's exactly what you're doing. I'm not apart of COGIC myself but I know people and have friends who are. Another thing is that this isn't a typical worship service, its a musical. Musicians will crowd around the instruments, that's never gonna change.

I understand the comments above and y'all are right, but do understand that it was a musical...

is that j drew in the beginning

silly Christians there is nothing wrong with enjoying a concert and don't fake it either if the spirit moves with in you then worship but if your a musician and your favorite drummer is there hell yeah dawg record

Is that a Zildjian K series Cymbal with all them Sabians? O______o

wheres phillip feaster

the thing is most secular drummers come from the church

snoop at 5:36 i quit

Huh? Are you talking to the other guy? xD

That's what i call a pocket

Seamless

song pleas?!

Drumming in the fish bowl. Man those things kill my ears. Nice drumming

calvin face @ 5:36 lololol yea thats SNOOP for you!

Snoop!

@DrewskieTv Musical or not, we are praising to the Lord, I think cameras should be turned off, decides there will be someone filming this with higher quality from the church; I'm sure of it because this size of church does it probably every service. I'm not offending you, Im just saying this because we want to give glory to God but if we get the Glory, then whats the point of praising to GOD.

@haejin2020 agreed to disagree. this isnt the type of song anybody would be going into deep worship unless it really hit home. I understand where you are coming from though.

Why didn't you just give the camera to the dude in the cheap suit with the nappy fro?! He was where YOU should have been standing!

SNOOP!!!!

no one was engaged in worship when he panned the audience, that bothers me. come to worship not hold ur phones up and rec.And stare at the musicans all night.As a musicians it bothers me that some one would me play the set instead of entering in. Its cool to pick up on some stuff live, but it shouldnt be all night

get away your head man ...just impressed

calm down dude.

calm down why.its the truth.be honest how hard is it(if your a musican) to enter into worship when your not playing.you have to be intetional more than others, because your to you doing the leading. i go through just like everybody else. ots fine to listen and pick up on stuff, but fir the whole praise and worship session naw bro not helping your inner man out. so you can calm up.lol
