@MrDrums. . . Dude you are trippin talkin bout Calvin. CALVIN IS ONE OF WILLIE'S BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS!!! Dude your slack. Calvin is one of Willie's foundations of playing. Willie can "COPY" what they do, but can't be creative enough to COME UP with what they play just yet. YOU TALK YOU CAN TAKE ONE OF CALVINS GIGS LOLOL!!
actually Calvin has a lot on him....Ricky Dillard, Bishop Trotter, John P Kee, VaShawn Mitchell, Donald Lawrence, The Clark Sisters, Israel Houghton, Marvin Sapp, Martha Munizzi, Isaiah Thomas, Trent Cory, Byron Cage & not to mention he is Fred Hammond's MD....dude, its way more to it than just chops. obviously, there is a reason why he's been on almost ever major gospel recording in the last 10 years, both live & studio. so quit hating & go practice.
Calvin is ALWAYS killin. It almost dont seem fair that he workin with Fred Hammond, a legendary bassist. I would love to see a jam session with just those two. And KamenRiderRhino is right, it DO sound like a Mario Bros powerup at 3:16!!! LOLOL!!!!
I luv how Calvin has matured into a multi-genre drummer. He's not limited to Gospel. I luv this Fusion oriented clip...it speaks to his versatility as a musician........
