Calvin Rodgers and Nick D'Virgilio Talk Gospel Drums | Drum Lesson

[@trsfworld460]

Calvin has definitely had a huge impact on today's gospel drummers including myself. Absolute legend

[@postlex]

What would you say are today’s best, progressive (musically) fusion gospel bands? Thank you.

[@ProgSnob14]

Wow Calvin got to play with an absolute legend! And so did Nick!

[@leonedwards7745]

Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church Chicago IL.... RIP Rev. Clay Evans since Calvin Rodgers just mentioned Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church.

[@Hannibu]

The beginning sounded a bit like "Sweetest Taboo" from Sade.

[@CnormTV]

Calvin Rogers, what an enormous talent

[@stevenabi5095]

CRod is da man yall. Great dude and an awesome ambassador for drums. Many will stand on his shoulders in the coming decades. He doesnt give himself enough credit!

[@johnrobinson8323]

[@justinalexander1056]

[@BBT609]

I think THIS was the video WE AAAAAAAAALLLLL were waiting for: Nick & Calvin! Calvin has divinely inspire and changed the game of gospel music in a whole NEW realm! The laugh at 2:26 HAD ME!!

[@ajb-drums]

Instant fan since I heard on praise him in advance on the radio.

[@genez429]

That was a really good exchange! In a duet drummers have to really be able to listen closely to not get in the way, yet freely to work with the open spaces being given.. Its different than playing drums with a guitar, piano, bass... etc. Each drummer has to get out of the way of the other, yet compliment what the other is spontaneously playing.

[@michaeltalley5826]

Both of these kits sound great!

[@revp01]

Love Calvin. Wish he would’ve have mentioned some of the gospel drummers who first got endorsements. - Mike Williams w/ Commissioned - Kevin Brunson w/ Thompson Comm Choir - Marvin McQuitty -w/ Fred Hammond

[@timothymckenna1702]

Seriously, how can someone dislike this? Awesome duo! You guys sound fantastic!

[@GT-fx8fd]

Nick is such a fucking legend

[@jhamesalmeda9961]

Sweetest taboo let’s go

[@ediot6969]

Marvin McQuitty should be mentioned when it comes to major influence of Gospel drummers that had their own major influences and contributions to Gospel music. Wonder why he does not come up when Calvin is on the subject.

[@ernestoirizarry4610]

Marvin Mcquitty should be mentioned

[@ntrakit6]

Marvin McQuitty is in MY top 10 of all time!

[@drummerboyjosh8260]

Ladell Abrams too respectfully

[@saikoa2129]

[@ewrluv2drum]

So true!!!

[@deryckroche]

Absolutely love this!

[@lajollascott]

If they had dueted on that final groove for an hour, I'd happily listen to it on a loop for the next three months straight.

[@dannylugojr3428]

This was great !! Thank you Sweetwater. I think there were some viewers that hit the thumbs down by a mistake......

[@CnormTV]

[@1420timmy]

Awsome job on the content. It's been a long time since a video got my attention at this level

[@jorgerodrigues4487]

❤️

[@joelhunt9875]

I have always thought there is a difference in noise when you are sloppy versus clean. you can hit the drums and get that tone.....just be clean. controlling the cymbals and mainly the hats help as well

[@harryhagman6063]

MY MAIN MAN NICKKIE DV AND CALVIN "POO" RODGERS

[@fabianmorkel8327]

The intro is what a shed really is.

[@bradcox6418]

Indeed

[@keithowens2554]

I’m 43 years old. We didn’t have drums until I was in my 20s.

[@joerico9461]

Nick d'virgilio reminds me of Jon Lovitz. LOL come on people it's true an funny as hell think of the liar on Saturday Night Live

[@Juniscrazy]

Don’t cage drums at church lol free the drummers!!! Add some padding on the walls if the drums are close to a wall or if it’s big enough move it away from the wall. Lol

[@marcuslrobinson]

What mics are those on the kick?

[@zaezaeb17]

Y’all need to invite Ringo Starr !!!

[@mdrmrgrl9622]

Don’t forget Tony Taylor Jr!

[@JeremySmith-sx9oe]

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

🤣 Somebody was listening to Sade....

[@officialdropnation]

Twerk 4 the LORD!

[@RogerBiwandu]

American drummer always talk about hitting hard, what about playing the room ? It's weird for me to see "hard hitting" as a quality like a lot of US drummers seems to see it, hey, why not...

[@yourbuddykevin]

who talked about hitting hard?

[@RogerBiwandu]

@@yourbuddykevin Nick, when he starts to talk to Calvin, he says that he's amazed how hard Calvin hits the drums.

[@ewilliams1594]

Depending the type of music you are playing, you may need to hit hard. However, Calvin has very good dynamics and plays to the artist. That's why so many artist request him.

[@icebergcustoms7593]

If you didn't grow up playing in church? Everything he's doing will be completely foreign to you.

[@lilkaliyg]

Yikes!
