  • I believe the drumset has been murdered.

  • His phrasing is crazy

  • Spanky is too sick for my life

  • No matter how many times I watch this clip....I always seem to throw-up a Lil bcuz spanky is sick!! Lol

  • Dudes got plenty skill... i wish i had as much... i got an ear for it thats fo sho

  • When I played this, I sat with it like the day before. U can tell I'm not solid with the music.....it was 2 amazing to not try to perform tho. I gave it my best shot with the time I had. Now, for me to go back in the studio and record this over, it would sound completely different. That would be fun.....

  • I like jerome Floods version better..

  • Yo... spamky is smashn this this joint ike 4real!!

  • he is just....beautiful!

  • F***ing animal!!!! That's what you call cutting edge.....Sounds like Lenny White on acid from the RTF days.......

  • when he go in and out of his fills and into different time signatures its just amazing especially his chops

  • 2:42-2:46...that little move he does while he plays is too funny

  • holy shit!

  • This dude is such a fusion drummer, crazy creative.

  • Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!! No comment.......jeezzzzzzzzzzzzz­zz Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... For a while there i forgot how to speak, this was the first time in years that I've heard some unfamiliar chops.. This guy is a alien

  • 1.Vinnie Colaiuta

    2. Dennis Chambers

    3.Spanky

    4. Chris "Daddy" Dave

    5. Lil John Roberts

    Top 5 out now!

  • @Cavalierslbjmj23 So your saying Spanky is better than Tony Royster and Aaron Spears? I don't see that at all. The Jerome Flood guy could kill this material, not seeing anything mindblowing here.

  • @badmotorscooter1000

    I can understand you saying that Spanky isn't better than Aaron spears and TR, but Jerome floods is still young, and his chops are pretty much regular, Spanky is however known almost 100% for playing completely outside the box which he learnt alot of from Chris Dave.

    Not to put Jerome floods down or anything, i think hes Damn good, but for you to say that Spanky isn't doing anything mind blowing, it seems like you haven't really looked into his drumming style much atall

  • @badmotorscooter1000 Its not all about licks all the time, what he's doing here is way more complex than what a lot of these gospel cats do, the way he comes in and out of the grooves with patters that don't fit perfectly, implying other time signatures, his dynamics are crazy, and his playing is just so much more creative than a lot of dudes out there. 

  • 3:04 to 3:08 - Yes sir!!

  • The lick @ 7:00 is one of the riskiest off beats i've ever heard. The way the lick fits back into the beat perfectly when it ends is beautiful!

  • barker

  • wooow this is like wordless...ahhhh

  • Wow. You really don't get the full effect just watching the regular spanky germany vids. When you can't really hear the music that well it sounds like spanky's playing very randomly. When you can actually hear the music clearly, it's modern art. You gotta listen with your eyes closed for the full effect. This sounds like music of the year 3000!

  • Spanky u are rediculis u done broke them drums lol u are awesome man.

  • There's a lot of great drumming on YT but for some reason this seems special to me. Its Extra Terrestrial.

  • 6:03 awesome 6:40 and da roll he did b4 that was awesome 6:52 i love dat groove 7:13 jus sick and 7:30 made me turn off my compu

  • it would be awesome if zappa's stuff had some drumming like this

  • 2.49 to 3.36 is a madnesssss

  • madenesssss

  • @rasdennis - this clip is about him demonstrating his musical vocab.....NOT grooving.....If he couldn't hold a steady groove then he wouldn't be as Great as he is......Everybody gots chops...but this man Works!!!

  • @rasdennis he can thats y he plays for lady gaga

  • can you do 1 bar of this?

    

  • @rasdennis . My Friend.... You MUST not know Spank. You don't travel the world and play the drums for some of the top artists in the world if all pieces of the game are not on point. If yo listen to what he is doing...... you can tell he can groove because of the precise-ness of all he demonstrated. This is actually nothing next to what I have heard Spanky do.

  • @rasdennis if you wanna hear him play a steady grove check out the stand out cd by tye tribbett or victory.

  • Comment removed

  • @rasdennis dude i don't know if you realize it but even when he's doing all that crazy shit he is quite steadily in the groove, to use you're own words.

  • @rasdennis you've been shot down bro!!!!

  • @rasdennis r u serious..?

  • towards the end it sounds like 6/2 to me

  • @bwils201987 .... 7 what cuz i cant count it out

  • @bwils201987 why i wouldnt know im on keys

  • I love how Spanky's so aware of the "one" man...that breakbeat @7:30 smh.........

  • from 5:24-5:34 Pure Sickness!!! wow

  • hey whats the time signatures on Anti-matter? writing a college essay on it...

  • how anyone would be able to keep up with him is beyond me

  • @treyguy09 its in 7 but ur 1 is on the and

  • I dont kno if its just me. . but does his snare sound TOO PERFECT??!! LOL. . .

  • Spank has a great pocket as well

  • He sounds so off beat some times. I like spanky but barker is better with drumming and showman ship. Neil purth from rush is even better. And he plays with an old school grip.

  • i agree wit ZOMGITZDAN....TRAVIS ISNT NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS SPANKY!!! GET IT TOGETHER PEOPLE

  • Spank is amazing...Only person I know that can actually play to a complicatedly conducted video game soundtrack. I heard this shit on Sonic!

  • man bro thanks 4 the way u play i need thatit gives me hope 4 myself

  • The music sounds like Sonic 2 on Sega Genesis.

  • All of you comparing Travis Barker and Spanky are stupid. Why compare someone who is best known for pop punk drums to someone who plays prog (im assuming, i don't know much about spanky if im honest) It's like comparing a ferrari to Mike Tyson, Travis aims to provide a solid beat that works well with the song whilst keeping everyone else in the band in time and from what i know, Spanky aims to express himself with drums to other music, like i said i dont know much of spanky, so sorry if im wrong

  • @ZOMGITZDAN Spanky also does "normal" music...check him out on Jill Scott's 'Along Walk" and "Golden"

  • this guy is nuts and travis has nothing on this brother thanks bro 4 the inspiration

  • im so sorry spanky... some people think that travis barker can actually hang with you...

  • @voodoovictims i would bet both my nuts travis could play this. and add to it

  • @whatever182281 ill prepare the eulogy for them as soon as possible...

  • all i can say is. . .spank knows how to color music. . .

  • germany the most disgusting and worst nation in th world

  • Comment removed

  • dude is super nasty on the set

  • None of this stuff is clean as it could be...theres ALOT of background parts that could also be played but you cant hear them due to the quality.

  • 4:05-4:13..hw do u do it???

  • What 2 tards said they didnt like this video? Tell them to get the rope and do that in their closet!

  • @tezzy221boy lolol

  • They are the best musicans around .

    No one is better than this group of players

  • killin'

  • pro drummer is what spanky is i need to get back my acoustic set im so limited with this cheap eletric set i cant add any more cybals or even choke the cymbals and the trigger messes up so to all who read this if u got a acoustic set keep it

  • i would love to see a drum battle between spanky and tony royster jr....i wonder who would take that they both are so good

  • sup drum fans go check out my videos

  • art pure art. i cant understand what he is doing... somebody can explain! jaja

  • Is Spanky into into rock at all. His power would definitely translate into a few genres of heavy music very well.

  • 3:39 i can tell what that guy is thinking....."Please,please dont his my hand"

  • ALIEN!!!!!!

  • sounds like a mario world soundtrack with mad amazing drums on top!

  • ihf i culd play liik thiis i would b 100 times better than my father....cuz we play tha same n we're both good players

  • 4:41 Oh my goodness bro I just want to write some lyrics to this. And it is soooo anointed I feel like crying and worshiping. Spanky is def killin though like how in the world do you do that!! LOL But Mannnnn one day you MUST just write some music for me and I'll put the lyrics to it.

  • 4:41 Oh my goodness bro I just want to write some lyrics to this. And it is soooo anointed I feel like crying and worshiping. Spanky is def killin like how in the world do you do it!! LOL

  • u have got to be kidding me, i think i jizzed on myself

  • your a fag 4 saying that

  • that was nasty make sure u clean up what u mess up

  • This is ridiculous!!!

  • wow...excellent

  • I just realized that whenever Spanky is by himself for a performance he uses weird time signatures, weird sounds, and weird syncopation and other weird things. This guy is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Some re upload this so it can be in HighQuality.

  • man he killed it......i was just in philly and i seen him play at this shed all the big philly drummers was there...booty spanky lil darrell and some more dudes it was sick

  • this drummer is new to me and I must say that I´m listening to a diffferent things and ideas on the drums. Very tasty.

    thanks for upload it.

  • In the beggining,he takes off a cymbal...

    He had a Ozone stackd with a ride cymbal?

  • that's what it look like.

  • 6:04 CRAZY!!! This dude managed to squeeze in a 4/4 inside a 3/4. thats just insane.

  • anybody knows if musicians at this level count all the time?..

    for example: this is a tricky tune. lots of time signature changes and breakdowns etc. is he counting all along not to get lost? or is he just going by feel?

  • I doubt guys at this level have to count.

    Do you count 4/4?

    You can sorta put it down to doing your h/w! Work on the different time signatures individually, then as an exercise compose a signature piece which includes everything you've practised so you can practice in a more challenging way.

  • i wish i could sing like he plays lol,,,,...geesh...

  • man im very emotional right now at the cray talent that must be appreciated

  • 7:13 n so on is amazing

  • 2:50 - and so on ...

    Spanky's on fire!!!

  • my fav part is 0:00-8:34. naw itz 4:30-7:40. the music is so peaceful and spanky jus speaks his mind through the drums.

  • This is my Favorite selection I'm trying to get like that!!!!!!!

  • 5:35 - 6:12 sounds amazing.

  • sick!

  • woho!! 50000th vier!

  • you know i have all respect for his technic. but few times its too technical. and it messes up the feeling. my opinnion, you have to mix technic and feeling. or feeling the highest i dont know.

    yeeah forum style wuuu

  • yeah man i feel you but heres the catch: this is his performance. to show his chops to the world.. to show all he is capable of.. i doubt he would play so much information in a band setting or a recording session you know?

    these cats know how to blow you away but they also know how to groove and most important: they know what they are supposed to play!

  • fair enough, didnt soncider that:P guess a im feeling obsessed:P or maybe that was just what i was looking for, clicking on this vid ;) but I think youre right

  • na fuck that man, i wanna see spanky and chris dave shed

  • Umm, WOW!! He's from another GALAXY!! lol SPANK IS THE TRUTH!!

  • this stuff is so hard believe me. spanky is such a good technition

  • Bad Ass!

  • Another kat that is crazy creative is Barry Alexander II, plays for Jonny Lang, spanky and jerome r dope tho.

  • I think jerome flood has da same creativity as spanky I would love 2 c them shed!!! If u dnt jerome flood jus youtube him you'll c wat i mean!

  • naa man.. c'mon.. jerome flood is great but spanky is another level at all..

    he just bends the tempos anyway he wants.. its just another language at the drums.. not saying that jerome sucks (coze he doesnt.. he is great like i said) but they arent even close

    IMHO

  • yea!

  • eh, not really. Jerome is nice....very creative...not taking that away from him at all. But, listen to how Spanky breaks beats in between constant rhythm points. He bends measures like crazy! And his improv to me is second to none. I can't recall a drummer ever doing some of the things Spanky does. Jerome, without this type of music, it's hard to tell if he can play that way. The only way to see how deep Jerome is is have him back up Black Surfer's sound.

  • no I think tony royster Jr has the nastiest creativity though spanky has the nastiest hookups with tye tribbet..........

  • Hookups Spamky plays for Tye, and Tony for Jigga Man. They both crazy retarded on the set.

  • I would term Tony more a technical monster...not a free-flowing beast like Spanky.

    Have you ever seen the video of Tony in Poland? Tony goes NUTS! And I mean bonkers on his solo! but, I don't hear him bending measures like Spanky does. tony has major speed and technique which allows creativity.

    But Spanky plays with more of a feel than Tony does...just two different styles...both awesome imo =]

  • well put, well put brutha

  • @cbmuzik guess you really dont study drummers cause Tony has outstanding timing of anydrummer i have seen. They bothhave different styles though.

  • @jsmck85

    I didn't say Tony doesn't have good timing. I said he is more a technocrat. If i didn't study drummers, I wouldn't have said that. I stand with my original statement. Tony is a monster drummer...I never took anything away from him.

  • @cbmuzik can u give me alink to the tony solo?

  • @cbmuzik i like your comment alot i like how you didnt say one was better than the other i hate when people do that you had a very good explanation

  • @Odey15

    thanks bro. but the way I see it? you can never compare those two....they are both giants in the drumming game and I'm sure they both respect each others talents very much. Who am I to sit here dogging one drummer against the other because of what I feel? Just listen to them both. they BOTH kill! So yeah, you have to respect people that are that good.

  • @cbmuzik Thats what im saying they both are killer drummers so why compare them and yea you do have to respect what they are doing in the game

  • not even

  • test

  • Man my boi spank got crazy skillz and I mean crazy!!!!!! Who would ever to think to do the things he does on the set. Man there are alot of pro drummers out there but I put him up there in the top five of my favorite drummers.

  • anyone know what kind of snare he has?

  • can someone break the lick at 3:11 down? sounds crazy good.

  • test

  • yeah! he is splitting a sixtuplet! 3 notes on the hi hat and three on bass drum! gotta work up your chops for that one.

  • HUH? LOL!

  • E' un genio forse riempie troppo cmq molto originale e' questa e' la cosa che apprezzo di piu' non tanto per il gusto di distinguersi ma per il coraggio di mettersi in discussione,perche' un modo di suonare fuori dagli schemi attrae molte critiche non sempre positive.Very Good

  • Does anybody know where i can get this Black Surfer joint?
