thanks i had the cd, but it got messed up and i forgot what it was called :oops:
-
I think i have to get that DVD!!!!!! LOL
-
I'm speachless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That had to be one of the greatest performences by a gospel drummer that I have ever witnessed. I swear I alomost got up and shouted! Personally I think that clip should solve a lot of arguements about Calvin Rodgers that I've seen on the site, hands down, that was hot.

That clip is still blazin' after a few years. I'm not a Calvin-hater. I have mad respect for the brother. I'm also not an absolute, holy grail, Calvin-lover. I love his playing ability though. I think a lot of people tend to overlook a big contributor to Calvin's sound. Not only is Calvin's skill a big factor in his playing, but his drums sound really good. His toms sing, his snare has character, and his cymbal selection is perfect. The thing I respect about Calvin, and many fail to mention this, is that Calvin has shown the ability to change styles flawlessly. I stated this before, but if you take the albums "Hallelujah" and "Worked It Out" by Ricky Dillard, "Not Guilty" by John Kee, and "The Heavens Are Telling" by Karen Clark-Sheard (these are just a few of very many) and listen to them back to back you'll hear four different drummers wrapped up in the one we call Calvin Rodgers. A lot of us would be pleased with finally finding our niche/sound and sticking with it, but this cat said, in the middle of his come up mind you, "I'm gon' change my A-game," and not just a little bit but drastically. That type of ability demands respect. Calvin's playing also shows how effective ghost notes can be. In my opinion, the majority of Calvin's fills are built off of ghost notes. Not only is that different in gospel drumming and drumming wholistically, it's a smart move on his part because fills built off of ghost notes are much more harder to figure out. This creative way of doing fills is argueably the very reason for so many aborted births of "Baby Calvins". Sorry for the synopsis. I just wanted to give him his props from a musician's standpoint and not a hyped fan :wink: .
