man you are very good Lord gave you this gift to exalt it not for this guy aii the Tiithdecay7756 he is a fool who does not know Fanatic differentiate things Calvin congratulations to you you are very good on the drums and record more videos
ok... honestly, i can say that pretty much everyone here doesn't give a crap about either of your opinions. believe what you will, just don't try to argue with others about it. just shut up and watch the video
ALL OF YA'LL ARE BEAST IN YOUR OWN WAY BUT CALVIN YOU ARE GREAT AT ACTUALLY PLAYING ALONG WITH THE SONG NOT TRYING TO YOUR OWN THING & IT SOUNDED GREAT GOD JOB KEEP IT UP BRO
Seriously, everyone who is complaining about these kids playing in Church needs to grow up. God doesn't get headaches so even if he were real I am sure he wouldn't mind lol. These kids hanging at the Church jamming keeps them out of trouble and stimulates the brain. It does nothing but positive things for them which I am sure God would want. Now, stop whining like an old sour woman and enjoy it!
@IHateYouJesusChrist i dont believe in a god either, but this is the way those kids become the best drummers on the world. their church is the place to learn from others and groove with the feeling that god is with them and supports their way of making music.. it's no crap, but if you believe in yourself i believe you can get just as far.
That's why I love gospel drumming. Isn't about just keep playing one boring groove and done. It's about FEEL the music it self, and theese guys from AFC know how to do so.

@ toothdecay7756 I'm not angry @ all. Its just a time and a place for it and church is not it. And church is not just four walls. That's y u young people can't get a deliverance cause yall think it just four walls. While yes we are the church. But u missed a few bible studies son. The bible says that we r the salt of the earth. Meaning that everything u r on the inside is suppose to manifest in the flesh. I hope that's not what your pastor teaches u....!
Yes, indeed... I openly admitt i did not receive that revelation until i started caring about god more instead of the drums and showmanship. I thank god for great leadership that taught me, and i would say to all those that play music: Would you play/practice with that music if Jesus and/or GOD sitting there watching you? That is how your suppose to look at it, Would you feel right in that situation?
@dominicthompsonsr Yo you don't need a suit to praise the lord and also most of the kids dressed like that are from the streets trying to have a better life so don't judge them alright better this then on the streets and instead of acting like you know so much and thinking your a pastor why don't learn how to write.
first of all it's all off because gods house ain't the place for worldly music....that's crossing the line...secondly he was ahead of the meter and he kept missing the one.
then he kept doing the same fill over and over and over...
@dominicthompsonsr O M G to ALL THE RELIGIOUS FOLK. They are just playin music in a room with four walls. To be real, your bodies are supposed to be the temples of God, not some random building. Chill out. Get mad at yourselves that you even know what they're playin. :).
first of all it's all off because gods house ain't the place for worldly music....that's crossing the line...secondly he was ahead of the meter and he kept missing the one.
why is there always in every drum video i look at there is that one person sayin "oh they arent playing with the music they're just showing off". Im sure this guy didnt make this video to play along with the song. The point is to show us what he can do.So either enjoy the video or shut up and watch another
They voted thumbs down because he is in no way playing for the song. He's just playing as many notes as he can. There's no musicality there. Sure he's got chops but he needs to concentrate on the groove. Other than that it was pretty cool.
Not sure who the 22 people were that voted thumbs DOWN on this kid. He's awesome! Only someone with extremely sharp rhythmic skills could pull this off. It was sick. Great job!
I STILL REMEMBER WHEN I SAW THIS VIDEO 2 YEARS AGO JAJAJA I WAS LIKE WTF IS THIS ? JAJAJAJA SO I JUST PRACTICE A LOT N KNOW I CAN SAY I CAN PLAY A LITTLE BID OF THIS x3 THIS GUYS HERE ARE GREAT O:
let's not be afraid to say it like it is..it is a black gift..i am not saying that whites cant play( i am white btw) just not like that..they would play the same thing but more square without that edge or swing or what ever you wanna call it.. you know what i mean..just like you won't see a black guy in a thrash metal band blasting away with a double pedal (that i know of anyway)...
@FlaVaSTyx4 obviously you never heard of (Suffocation Mike Smith) ....there are many black or white artist combined through music no matter what kind of genre it is im black and white i live to play all different kinds of music from Broadway to the heaviest Black death metal
@drummerhustla087 hey brother there's no doubt that music is one and the best music is made by different musicians from all over the world coming together to create..but my point was that there is a difference in the way they interpret music that has to do with their cultural background (black or white) that gives them individuality(with the obvious exceptions that verify the rule) ..there's nothing wrong with that!! in fact that's what makes it so interesting wouldn't you agree?
being black doesnt make you better. take your practice to another level and you can be where these are but with your own style. but yeah these guys can definately play, they have a gift, but its not a black gift. i know cause im black, it take hard work and practice.
@crimjqt83 nop u can hear the flam tap and the doubles in the third time , its 32 second notes, he is doing like Flam tap L L R L RR , FOLLOWED BY SINGLES NOTES on the 4
Awesome...How old is this young man? Great now and has time to get even better. Keep up the good work and make sure you use the gift God Gave you for His glory!!!
