  • Great stuff !

  • look, dont get mad . its the truth. money is what people go 4!!!!!!! duh. 2 be honest , theres no money in playing gospel music....u kno just like i kno . so, um, if someone , lets say diddy , and he came along and offered 2grand a week 2 go on tour and ur making 50 a sunday 2 play at ur church.....would u leave or stay???? hmmmm........ 2 grand could buy u alot rite @mrdjddady41 ???  Jesus said u CANT serve God and (money).

  • sounds like detonator...

    

  • I PLAY N THE CHURCH 2 I BEEN PLAYING FOR 14 YEARS AND BAXTERNILES1 U SOUND LIKE A HATER. MUSIC IS MUSIC. IF THATS THE CASE WHY GOSPEL ARTIST MAKE RAP SONGS INTO GOSPEL SONGS.LIKE I SAID MUSIC IS MUSIC.

  • drummer is mean, spank is the best

  • Wow.. do you have Facebook

  • u kno, i hate 2 be a buzz-kill, but.... if one gets all his "chops" playing devotion in church on sunday mornings and sunday nites, why go secular? one answer. money. i play in church now, and i get offers 2 play secular , 4 good money, but its not worth it. when u make a stand 4 Jesus (not 4 lady gaga , diddy, jay-z or any other artist that wants 2 prostitute the tru gift given 2 church musicians) , He will ALWAYS make a way and will exalt u .

  • @baxtertniles1 sure

    

  • @baxtertniles1 wow... bs

  • @TraSanRa503 DECENT POINT, BUT SECULAR MUSIC HAS ALWAYS MIMICED GOSPEL SIR...OTHER THAN THAT GOOD POINT

  • 2:11..luv dat prt

  • 2:43 magic starts 

  • this makes you want to get up and play 3 o'clock in the morning lol, pure inspiration!

  • love it

  • BEST DRUM COVER IVE EVER SEEN HANDS DOWN!!!

  • music is wonderful thats why i fell in love with music you can create music and enjoyed it im a big fan of smooth jazz and jazz its a real feel of music

  • Those of you that are trippin and quoting scripture need a reality check. the music in the church has alway mirrored secular music . in fact the church folk said that Mahalia Jackson was going to hell because her secular style. as well as James Cleveland, Commissioned, Kirk Franklin....and the list goes on and on! Answer me this....what type of music did Solomon listen to when he danced himself naked?... Quit drinking Hater-aide. Lady Gaga needs to have a Christian around her too

  • you might have thought the track was off but i feel like it was right on time because spank filled in with it soooo perfectly. that dudes a beast !!!!

  • spank kiillng

  • Man, why hasn't this dude made a Modern Drummer Festival yet?

  • @ntrakit6 I know right...He def deserves to be on there

  • damn 1:04 thru 1:17 straight up NASTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • that snare is tuned PERFECTLY

  • this is my favorite drummer hope one day ill be jus like him and actually get to meet him

  • so what happened to that revised version bro? this bad quality's killin me..X(...but so is his drumming... X)

  • Beast thas all thr is to say

  • Its interesting how our backgrounds shape the style that we play. Spanky is from the church and I find his approach to playing drums different than any other drummer that i have seen. Strange but DAMN I love this young brother. Enjoy Ya'll

  • live

    

  • it sounded like he couldnt hear to good in his ear fones, he was off a lil bit

  • @snaredude10 The reason it might have sounded off is because the music we are hearing is not coming to our ears at the same time as he is hearing it. If you notice at 3:29 when he is just stomping the hats its just a bit off from the music. Its just because of the way its recorded for video.

  • @snaredude10 na perfect timing prob one of the best when it comes to time and offsetting it

  • Love it

  • Love

  • He's so surgical with it.

  • this is like my favorite drummer. I have been drumming since 97'

  • this is crazy! he has a disease lol

  • my God spank, this is so sick!

  • Spanky your timing is of the charts.

  • Stupid timin

  • Spanky u are to good man this is crazy this must have taken some serious practice dang!

  • HOW CAN I GET THIS TRACK.!!?

  • I want this track please. Do anybody know the name of it?

  • wats the name of this track?..i want it

  • play boy

  • i love the haters on these comments who've never played anywhere past a pulpit. lol keep playin bro, proud of you dude.

  • 4:00-4:06 is so simple, but it sounds so good!

  • i think its 4/2

  • what is tthe time signature

  • This dude is one of the coldest drummers I ever heard.

  • any way there is nothing wrong with the music its the motive behind the music thats where the spirit comes from. Its clearly not to get anyone in a THUGGISH mindset or a in any SEXUAL desires its pure untainted music

  • Comment removed

  • everyone is born with a Godly conscience to some degree its inherited since God is our father in heaven so we do not need to "study" the world but rather get the world to study the gospel that Jesus is willing to free their minds from any guilt and shame. plus if we did noone would be able to tell a christian from a sinner so we must live COMPLETELY pleasing god in ALL that we do! Our identity is at stake here!

  • Please explain why that was stupid - I'd love to know how ytou can jusstify playing for lady gaga by the bible?

  • Spank Spank Spank! and where can i find this track?!

  • Wow just showin off lol

  • it doesnt matter who he plays for as long as his mindset is on God. We are part of this world but tht does mean he is for the world...maybthey pay more nd there is more gigs who knows? he is lettin his light shine in the secular and probably still is turning ppl towardsGod..

  • OMG! 2:50-253....Beautiful*

  • 2:10 Lawd have mercy!!!!!

  • theres nothin else u can say about this dude, he branded this track lol. . .ITS SPANKS TRACK NOW!! LOL. . .

  • I can't believe some of the comments that I am reading. There are no lyrics to this music. Is classical music a sin? Is Jazz music a sin? Of course not. It's music. It simply wonderful music. And further more, I dare any of you judge this young man. None of you know is walk with God. If I'm a banker during the day and deal with money and a deacon or a trustee on Sunday counting money, does that make me a sinner? No! So why are musicians constantly under attack about music?

  • @LABRATORY336 I don't think anyone was complaining about the music in the video, this is great, they were talking about him playing for secular artists and playing for gospel artists. I see no problem if the songs that the secular artists are singing match up to the Bible in particular Phillippians 4:8. If they don't, then you might have to take a look at who you're playing for - your own personal gain or for the furtherance of God's kingdom

  • @MasterPianoGuy I am sorry... that has to be one of the stupidest things I have heard...

  • @Xxdom4073xX oh ok. could you explain why by the bible?

  • @MasterPianoGuy Because, preaching god onto others, is annoying. Especially on the internet, full of trolls. Therefor your fabled attempt is stupid.

  • @LABRATORY336 It kinda does make u sinner gambling is a sin. Im not talkin the music is awesome but gambling...

  • Comment removed

  • SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • man i love this track anyone know were i can get it from

  • Sick cat. Wish he'd make his mind thought....Secular or Christian?

  • @arjl880 why?

  • @ziyakhupha Cause if you want to be holy you got to be set apart for the Lord but he's jumping from playing for God and playing for the world. He's a great talent but his soul is more important than the money and fame.

  • @arjl880 My pastor always told me something like this: "You can be a christian, but u must learn how to speak the way of the world. not literally speak like cussing and stuff, but speak as in how to interact with with people and things in the world, but keep yourself true to your faith in God." You dont necessarally have to play Christian music to project that "Hey I'm a christian." No, as long as u keep yourself true to faith, then it doesn't matter what you do.

  • @drummaboi375 but ask yourself, who gave him that talent? If your answer is God, wouldn't God want him to use the talent to only serve him? Not to knock your pastor, but if you read the word for yourself you'll see that God doesn't like his things being intertwine with the ungodly. Pastors and people could say what they want but the word and the truth will always be that...the word and the truth.

  • @arjl880 yeah, I see where you're coming from with that. But don't you think that even if he plays that type of music, his mindset is still on God? That he doesnt let the music that he plays influence his thinking on his religious background?

  • @drummaboi375 Well I would hope so. Salvation is personal, which is why no one, myself included, can judge and determine where he would spend his eternity nor how his relationship is with God.

  • @drummaboi375 Its just just that some surroundings can either encourage your walk with God or discourage you walk with God. For ex; where is it easier to worship God, a prayer meeting or night club? You can very well want to worship and lead a Godly life but if you're in the wrong settings it can hurt your walk with your maker.

  • can you send me this track to henryljackson2003@yahoo.com

  • 4:31-4:36 made me go crazy how do u do dat

  • timing is what's what set you apart from all other drummers.

  • Boy your new name is Pure Precision.

  • i need 2 know wat this concert so i can watch spanky

  • AMAZING

  • Stop talking about who's better than who. Everybody's taste is different. Tony has his style and Spank has his. At the end of the day it doesnt matter. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but the line has to be drawn somewhere.

  • Spank is hilarious!!!... frm da beg of this track..he off..but sooo ON!! smh...da mans timing is ridiculous!!!

  • man to all real drummers n musicians..yu cant say spanky is not the hottest,youngest off mind set kat on drums..ima be there soon..

  • @Dexter1237 Thank you my brotha!!! Alot of these cats are talkn tony royster. Hes dope but he has nothing on spanky. Spanks drumming theory and technique of how he approaches a track can outdo tonys speed anyday!!!! Tony sounds the same as he did 5 years ago, spanky progressed. Spanky is changing the way drummers approach the set!!!!!

  • i just noticed something..at 4:31 to 4:40 he played rashid lick from that shed he did with him ..that was sick!!!!

  • redifinition of "time", he is "in" and "out" at the same time...

  • If you like him check him out on tour live as the drummer for lady gaga

  • how the hell can you remember this

  • LAWD HAM MERCY

  • his timing is perfect!!

  • dis dude is one of my favorite drummers now!!

  • i dnt mean 2 sound uneducated but wa u mean dotted-quarter time??

  • @CARDONASTV in music, when u see a dot next to any note (half, whole, quarter) you play for the alotted time of that note and half of it's value. so say you're playing a dotted quarter note, well you'd hold for a quarter note, and then you'd hold for an eighth note as well.

  • i dnt mean 2 sound uneducated but wa u mean dotted quarter time??

  • Awesome!!

  • One of the most technical drummers ive ever seen!!! SICK!!

  • so beasty

  • I have no words.

  • omg i need this track!!!!

  • dude is nice!!!

  • anybody knows what hes doing at 1:04

  • I believe that he just wanted to show us how to go from 16th to 32 to 64. Thats what it sounded like to me.

  • hmm i think thats what u call an off beat

    i suppose

  • @djkt911 He's just playing the same lick over and over in dotted-quarter time....(don't take "just playing" to mean that he's not good.....this dude is ridiculously good)

  • he is now one of my favorite. whats his name??

  • George McCurdy

  • Spanky

    he was Tye Tribbets drummer
