I just love the way you play the drums and you got the anointed drummer and you play the pocket beat and you are nasty on the drums and your four mats beats . I play the drums my self music is my thing that God 🙏 gave me a gift 🎁 and God 🙏 gave you a big gift 🎁 that God 🙏 gave is to play the drums. I love the both of you and hear sound good on the drums. I love to hear some body else to hear some one playing the drums.

Calvin just takin it easy.. humble is the key.

[@dnabey]

As musicians, they complimented each other, had interesting stories, and it was fun to watch.

[@lavelllucas]

I met Calvin Rodgers when I didn't know who Calvin Rodgers was and he was humble, professional and just a great person. He played on my church's last choir recording (First Mount Zion Recording Choir - Virginia). At the time I was upset that he was replacing me for the recording, but I should have taken the time to learn more from him, but I did. I learned that no matter how good you are, be kind, humble, professional and God is pleased and you find more favor among your peers. Calvin and Isaiah Thomas are AMAZING artists! I love you guys

[@abuwao]

Their smiles, their politeness, their sound and I must mention the quality of the video and sound. As for the kits, those are solid. Love and respect ✊ to Calvin and Hannah. This is packed with so much fun and knowledge. Thanks y'all. Peace ✌️ out

[@iamchillytoy]

I loved how polite this discussion was both on drums and during the chat ❤️

[@drummerboykwan1]

proud of you Calvin.....awesome bro God bless you both

[@leecornwell5632]

Brother Calvin Rodgers keep on playing the drums. God continue to bless you and strethting you and your family. Love Brother Lee Cornwell.

[@ederjr.charles686]

This his music with soul, not a battle, but shed of what they love., their influences. They are 2 things in common “ 1-music, 2-drum” You can not be better than anybody but yourself.

[@ederjr.charles686]

It was fun to watch

[@JaredCollins]

I really enjoyed this. I love Hannah’s playing. Calvin is so smooth.

[@rockindavebyron3960]

This cool! I remember Hannah(Ford was her last name) back in 2009. I headlined a show at Penny Road Pub in South Barrington IL. & Hannah did a show earlier that day, we said 'Hi' to each other as my wife & I was arriving & she was leaving, she was a very nice girl. The show was celebrating the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, so it was GREAT!!! And Chicago was a GREAT place to play(our home town), now we live & play in SW FLORIDA, VERY HOT in the summer, but we love it, & we definitely love Sweetwater, we are dedicated customers, thanks, you guys ROCK!!! Be safe, Rock On & God Bless!!!

Like Calvin, I can remember playing on pots and pans from the time I was 3 and because my mother and grandfather were both very musical I was exposed to music from my earliest memories. At a very young age, I saw a clip with Karen Carpenter playing drums and that was when I wanted to be a drummer. SHe was the first female drummer that I saw and so when I was 10 and able to take band class I chose drums. I had cancer sores in my mouth growing up so the drums were really the only option for me so it worked out well. I was bitten by the Jazz bug in high school and had a really great band teacher that helped me grow as a drummer. I love playing the drums and it was a joy to hear your stories and see your playing. THank you for sharing this as this was a blessing.

[@j_cason]

Shoutout to Hannah for saying what she said at 15:27 I see that everywhere.

[@terencebrown372]

Love the drumming and the talk when people coming together and talk and share differences of how they got started. Good job and amazing. Calvin im a big fan of yours you played with John p. Kee, fred Hammond, bishop trotter, Ricky dillard, isley brother you playing man. Hannah welton sounds good keep grooving on the drums

[@gtjackson4]

This was a drum symphony of 2 great drummers In sweet harmony~~

[@dannylugojr3428]

Thanks Sweetwater for this. Awesome to these 2 come together and shed.

[@izziOnBass]

Both drums sounded fantastic! real studio sound! fantastico!

[@mlklotusmann6749]

Awesome! This is so cool, two players supporting each other and jamming together👍🏼

[@-papaabakahdr6516]

Cool 😎..... I really like how both accommodated each other....

[@Amberondrums]

Whew this combo was well needed. My morning drum breakfast! Two different worlds but both with a love for music and drums. Music is universal! Thanks SweetWater!

[@mrwill0910]

[@PLADProdandArtistMgt]

Amazing! Thank you Sweetwater!

[@gjcart26]

thank you Sweetwater. I hope you all keep doing this

[@roscoedavis4788]

You two were amazing together.

[@fabianmorkel8327]

"Trading ideas" The shed got back it's purpose love musicality.

[@rockindavebyron3960]

She had a band with her dad I believe. It was called 'The Hannah Ford Band'. Does anyone remember that in the Chicago area?

[@PLADProdandArtistMgt]

Hi Dave, I'm the "Dad"...lol. I wasn't in the band but managed Hannah and the band while also teching for her. Great memory!

[@jerrymckenzie1858]

@@PLADProdandArtistMgt Hey Dad, your daughter is a true joy to watch. I think we all appreciate the enthusiasm she exudes in her drumming!

[@PLADProdandArtistMgt]

@@jerrymckenzie1858 thank you! 🙏

[@sambell385]

@@PLADProdandArtistMgt Hello Dad! this is my first time coming across Hannah that I can remember anyway, but you’ve done an amazing job with your adorable sweet talented little princess,she inspires me to pick up the sticks and go for it again

[@j.g.p.jr.6497]

🥁Hannah and Calvin🥁 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Juniscrazy]

Gretsch kit sounds awesome

[@jergervasi3331]

That was great!

[@thebarefootdrummer6375]

Those beats are dope as hell

[@LeeVenters]

I can’t believe I missed this.. I stopped through Sweetwater on Monday on day after gear week. Hannah is well spoken and can play Calvin. Nough said… they complimented ea other very well…

[@ghstpoh]

Is bringing Chris Coleman for a nice "drum battle" an option? I think it'd be one hell of a gem to glean from.

[@sammydavid1471]

That’s who they should’ve had instead of her

[@drummer4ever17]

We need a David Cola vs Zackgrooves drum battle!!!!

[@TheDrummgirll30]

This is a nice shed, skills on both end.

[@OnabajoEmmanuel]

I wish I could get an opportunity like this too!!! I love this😍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂 these two crazy kids....

[@KBStickEm]

This was awesome!!!!

[@simthokozelengcobo5700]

This was awesome🔥🔥🔥

[@Mix3dbyMark]

Mixer: How much 200hz should I put on the mix? Sweetwater: Yes

[@icadrums]

Sooo good!! 🔥

[@j.t.robins5896]

This is the epitome of a Musical Conversation. Both verbal and musical.

[@shedtracks]

Good vibes!

[@iansoberano5103]

I would like to do this one day if I was at Sweetwater drum battle that would be cool. Sweetwater rules. Rock on.

[@matthewcummings6593]

Greats

[@meepmeep3874]

Clean onyx heads are so pretty

[@matthiasrambally1899]

I’d be so intimidated to play with Calvin lmao 😂😂😂

[@soundoff85]

Shout out to Hannah she’s great but she ain’t got no business on this shed Video with the goat

[@nicomelgares]

this woman is so beautiful and you can see her passion!!!

[@motluv]

While she was trying to explain her gear and how she plays, she could have just said, “People think I am beautiful” and that would have explained a lot without her trying to explain things and struggling.

[@jlups1631]

“Super Warm”

[@TrevWILL79]

She is like, “How is he that good?”

[@jesuspena1483]

Sweetwater.thanks for this jam session.i give you idea.try brinda latin drummers or latin drummers with percussion players.another idea.try the norteño o banda drummers/ mexican music. Example. La tropa f band.they have excelent drummer. I wish you do.

[@PartyCrewCoolPAD]

& Some people dream about owning theirs before looking to #repeat college to compare prices like YIKES I'M ONLY A CHEMIST AS OF 2012

[@noinwe]

That sad part is she is on the same platform as Calvin Rodgers. That’s like putting a Pinto on a Rolls Royce show room floor. Whom ever put this matchup together needs to be smacked.

[@sammydavid1471]

That’s what I’m saying bruh she’s nowhere near Calvin how tf she even get on this platform😂

[@michaelaholman17]

bro she's better than him what

[@dedexyz8475]

Hannah for the win....but only because the Degree of Drumming Difficulty was greater: Playing in a LEATHER Jacket. #Kudos and #muchRespect

[@ronaldsantos5855]

A lot of good “drum faces” on each side here….lol… great players both!

[@sammydavid1471]

The same Calvin who played “Tell the Devil I’m back” had to nerf himself in order to play with her 😂ts ridiculous

[@CnormTV]

Mannn thats one of my favorites from Calvin. I've listened to that song thousands of times

[@kspocketngroove3973]

this like when Cooper jams with other drummers 🤔🫠... some will know what i mean

[@paolenmanghaks]

Lzzy Hale can drum! 😁

[@soundknight]

The dude was good...

[@nhaezer5121]

He's not playing here - seems he is deliberately playing simple. Listen to him on "Never Again by James Fortune"

[@karstenbursak8083]

sorry ... but to call it the "ultimate Drum Battle" is just pure BS ... this is more a Duett than a real battle ... and every one knows: the ULTIMATE DRUM BATTLE was Buddy Rich vs Animal 😄

[@Coolbreeze_atl]

Oh nah....too much talking I'm out✌🏾
