Calvin Rodgers with Fred Hammond rehearsal 1 

11 years latter and this video still sounds amazing.

I can watch this a million times and NEVER get tired of it! Calvin is killing it! Almost made me forget Fred is the headliner!!

1.) "I am not alone" 2.) "Lift him up" Grab that CD, it's hot...yet this live rehearsal is more FIRE in my opinion just as Walt9427 said

For people who are here in 2021 and don't want to scroll through comments for song names. 1st Song is "I am not alone" by Fred Hammond and the 2nd song is "I will lift him up" by Fred Hammond. Both on the God, Love, & Romance album.

His beats and his pocket is super sick. I think I need to get on my kit and practice after watching this.

YES SIR! Chris Kee is amazing, one of my favorites as well, but Calvin is just on a whole new level. His pocket and precision is unmatched!

My Lord Calvin is sooooo smooth! Fred sooo cool sitting singing! :)

Would love to play in a band like that! Calvin is a pocket monster!

Calvin is AMAZING!!!!! Perfect timing, placement, and musical vocabulary.

I think he is one of the best gospel drummers out there

This video is a master class for my learning of groove, and drum fills, within Gospel Black Music, for many years.

best drummer in gospel hands down i personally met calvin at the full gospel concert recording in alabama where i served as a drummer during the conference. keep giving GOD the glory with your gift calvin

I was mad about something till I click on youtube and pulled this up...thanks calvin for making me feel better through your playin..peace!

siiiiiiick. i love his style. it's sooo clean!

My all time favorite drummer. "The Calvin Rodgers"

Calvin plays so ALIVE and creates within the song - he gives the drums a VOICE within the song itself!

Them cymbals sound delicious

Calvin is KILLIN the trap, but the whole band is CRAYZ...I love great musicianship. AWESOME...

That had to be one of the smoothest transitions ever!!

Sending out prayers for Calvin Rodgers and his family. The best drummer ever!!

My dream is to be like Calvin Rogers. He inspires me. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Amazing drummer!!!

hes incredible! those drums sound amazing! especially that kick.

I haven't checked for FH since Purpose By Design... his work in with "Commissioned" is timeless. I may have to check this out... I just saw him last week in passing... stay humble and keep that swag!

Calvin is just amazing and i love he lets god uses him and can't wait to learn more from him God bless you man of god

Calvin Rogers is a beast drum idol

i LOVE THE BREAK DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just listen to the studio version of I will lift him up and this live version they are doing is 100 times better IMO.

never seen someone kill in the pocket like this

that second joint is a banger

I love this man!!wow

Calvin da man!! Unlike many drummers today who play with so much or too much flairs,triplet rolls etc...not making any sensible musical statement,Calvin is very discipline,steady,tight & most of all...groovey!!!!!! Thats why i rate him over so many drummers claiming to be so call...hot!!

Blessed!!! Anointed Mannne

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!

I Will Lift Him Up - God, Love and Romance album, disc 2

Pocket on Point Calvin, Nice

First of all I love Fred Hammond and secondly Calvin Rodgers is a ridiculous animal, that is all.

Ladies and Gents give it up for Calvin on the Drums,!!! and playing the Xbox 360 over there on the couch FREDDD HAMMMMMONDDDD!!!

It's called being a Discipline musician.. Don't need to overplay the song, But simply compliment the song and the singers.

The drummer and the music sounds pretty good
