  • Both drummers are truly blessed and all haters keep hating on them bc they are gettin the pay checks that u wud luv to have!!!!! Spank continue 2 do wut u do pimpin!!!

  • Why can't we just appreciate the unique gifts that both of these cats posess?!! That's the problem in Gospel music..Everything is always a competition even when the dudes that are being compared have the utmost respect for each other, there's always tension created by lames like those in these comments.Instead of comparing chops, try to figure out how these niggas are workin' and apply that to your skillset and maybe you can play some gigs instead of being on the sidelines jockin these niggas!!

  • Wow! Really spankydrums. People love your skills but your personal character keeps taking hits bro. You are in the lime light chose your words carefully bro. You are on a level where people get inspired by you. You would think you would be more professional. Dude mentioned Tony and you quickly said different styles. Yet you didn't say the same for Calvin. You sat back and took your praise as opposed to shutting down this stuff on here.

  • and if you and tony were to trade licks and you go to your "world" he would not only meet you there he would take over. Look man ppl compare and make everything in drumming a competition about whose better who does what and so on. You look on youtube and its videos always saying spanky vs this guy omg spanky beasted on him so in the end man we all as gospel drummers supposed to be playing to the glory of God anyway i shouldn't be a competition. Be blessed

  • @spankydrums ok so let me get this straight because i say that tony would smash you you think thats disrespect? I see alot of ppl saying you smash calvin or you smash this guy or that guy but the minute somebody doesn't agree and mentions someone besides yourself as an awesome drummer you have a problem. LOL are you serious? If you and tony were to trade those same licks you and calvin were doing I believe he would smash you no disrespect to anybody you or anybody. Ppl on here compare all day!

  • once again tony royster needs to be in the conversation cuz he would straight SMASH spanky!!!!

  • @MadBmbr06 me and tony play nothing alike my friend. question is, what is he gonna do if i go to my world? is he gonna join me? no, he's not. thats not his twist. your hyping up a bunch of hype. i respect him, hes an amazing drummer, but our worlds (drums) our completely different. but u can cut all dat "smash" talk from the gate. be realistic and respectful! lol, thanx fam

  • @SpankyDrumz How lame do you have to be to go on you tube and monitor what non important cats say about you? You should just kill yourself for even responding. Calvin and Tony work way more than you obviously because you have time to argue with people on here. And please spare me the strong talk back because you abt 5 foot nothing and weight about 100 pounds. Oan chris dave called he wants you to stop trying to steal his style and say you made it original. Clown.

  • Christians got a history of taking sides in the so-called name of the Gospel. This ain't no different... I am of Spanky; me, of Calvin. Tony would chew both them negros. Bless the Lord! What a joke... What a pity.... What profit a musician to gain the whole world if his soul lost following after another musician?

  • @MadBmbr06 Nope! But love Tony tho...

  • this is a good example of feeding on each other's licks

  • Is'nt it about time anyway to get both these dudes on a Modern Drummer one of these years?

  • spanky cant trade licks wit anyone else because nobody plays like that or simliar unless he trade wit chris daddy dave. but chris daddy dave taught him.

  • tony royster would eat spanky for lunch!!!

  • @MadBmbr06 negative!

    

  • CAN SOMEONE PLEEEEEEAAASSSSEEE EXPLAIN HOW ON EATH SPANKY IS DOING THAT???? PLEAAAAASE, ILL PRACTICE NIGHT AND DAY

  • Calvin Rodgers is a Gospel Legend Drummer his style of drumming is never the same... With all the Gospel Artist he has played for like John P Kee, Fred Hammond, Vashawn Mitchell, The Clark Sisters, Marvin Sapp, Israel New breed and Byron Cage he style of playing is never the same on non of the Cd's. The both are Great Drummers but Calvin is not even tryin 2 battle Spanky he is just having fun. If anything Spanky can learn for The Great Calvin Rodgers....! Its called RESPECT PPL...!

  • @ScitsoWilkerson lolol, and who am i? the young beginner whos never worked with anybody b4? no, im not. if u gon define RESPECT, do it fully. God Bless

  • @SpankyDrumz Mr. George Spanky McCurdy him self Much Respect to u bro!!! But let me define the respect i was meaning well for one Cavlin Rodger has been in the Gospel industry for a long time and as a young successful drummer such as ur self Respect ppl like him if u know what i mean. Now as for u i've been following u for long time since u started play for Eric Roberson. I love Drumming and i love music and u have been one of my top drummers for a good min especially when u came in the Gospel

  • @SpankyDrumz (Part 2) industry playing for Tye tribbett..! But u have played with a lot for Artists ur self like, Jill Scoot, Maxwell, P-Diddy, Lady Gaga, James Fortune, Nas, Blackstreet Boys, Floetry, Kanye West, Brandy, i even remember when u did sumthin with Queen Latifah and more. So as far as (Respect) That is the man to Respect when it comes to the Gospel Drummers. Just as well the respect for u as one of the yunger drummers to the Gospel Industry. Nothing but Respect from me Man. Be Bless

  • Calvin is the best drummer in the world... but Spanky is from another planet!

  • spank kill him

  • Two different styles but came together and made one unique sound!!!

  • DOnt get me wrong, Calvin a beast but SPANK GOT THAT 1!!!

  • spanky got datz azz.....?

  • How the hell does he gets his snares to sound like that?!?!

  • Two Great Drummers.......Two Totally Different Unique Styles.....Nuff Said

  • @ES7Mike EXactly!!!

  • @ES7Mike thats what i was thinking. they have 2 totally different playing styles, but they are both great drummers

  • Yo, Spanky had the flu, and still beasted Rodgers. All you church niggas need to get some real music in ya system.

  • Two Different styles, but both are incredible in their own way, they both enjoy what they do and respect each others playing......So do I

  • Its really sad that the majority of gospel drummers judge the talent of a drummer solely upon his or her chops. Stop for a moment and listen to the music. Listen to the different textures and colours and maybe you will learn something besides developing awsome hand and foot speed. Real talk.

  • people no here comparing drummers don't have a clue of what's going on these 2 respect each other there not here to compete calvin is on the gospel circuit and spanky is on tour with lady gaga right now please stop all the hating yaw probably can't plat 2 well yourselves.

  • @mike11800 Actually, Calvin called Spank out.

  • @ocbfdog i don't believe that at all i know spank and he has nothin but respect for calvin and this whole thing wasn't about someone being called out u one of those guys that start rumors and keep stuff going on you tube SMH!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @mike11800 Nigga, u don't have to believe it. I got my info from the industry

  • @ocbfdog yeah and the industry lied to u if u didn't hear it ur self then then stop spreadin mess!!!!

  • Calvin Pioneered the gospel sound of today and sum of the R&B of today too. 

  • @nonchalant601 What R&B? 

  • @ocbfdog Listen to Brain Fraizer Moore, Rex Hardy, and many others. You'll hear some of Cal's inspiration and they'll tell it themselves dat he inspires some of there work.

  • Hey yall, BOTH drummers are ridiculously anointed, but don't forget, it was CALVIN who opened the floor for drummers of our generation to do what we do now. Do your research, and you'll see what i mean! And truthfully, there is a conversation going on in this clip. HOW can yall say that one person talks better than the other?! That's ignorant.

  • @78proto they speak different languages

  • @78proto No, it was LaDell Abrams, Calvin Napper, Dana Davis, Marvin McQuitty, and Joel Smith who paved the way for Gospel drummers. Calvin paved the way for all these no music-playin', church niggas.

  • @ocbfdog And Jeff davis.

  • word. amen.

  • Spanky is vicious! He is on the real come up! OMG!! SICK JUST SICK!! All they need now, is Rexall, Teddy, Quinn, Scooter, Lil Scooter, and Kahari and its over!!! ROFL CHICAGO STAND UP!!!!

  • This isn't a comp. Nobody's tryin to see who goes faster doing which chop. I personally spend a lot of time listening to both of them. They're both excellent drummers and excellent musicians. Spanky would probably openly admit he was listening to Calvin (amongst others) to get inspiration for where he's at. That's what art and music is about; Communication of a feeling.

  • Hey, guys! No competitions, just transferable licks that ANYBODY can perfect. It's in the air, so consume!

  • Spanky is young and energetic great imagination on new techniques. But if you was a big-time producer looking for quality, hands down: Calvin

  • @wanquarta That's bullshit. Listen to James Fortune.  Spank wrecked that shit.

  • My 2 cents. Both are outstanding drummers. spanky is king of off-time rythyms. Calvin is very musical and complements every project he is on. LIVE show = Spanky! DVD/studio recording = Calvin!

  • THX DUDE WE NEEDED THT!!!

  • Us "real" drummers and students of the game appreciate both drummers for their gifts and inspiration. Haters make it a comp thang when they both bring sumpn great to the table.

  • SPANKY!!

    CALVIN!!

  • i just passed out..

  • No Comparison! Sorry Calvin...

  • Sorry..........Spanks all the way..HE IS JUSTTOODAMNMUCH!!!

  • Both are very Great but if i had to chose one it would be spanky. He jus got TOO many licks and u can tell from this video which is nothin to him. Check him out by typing in a "Spanky and Thad reunite" he really got off on that one.

  • i really wish people would appreciate the gift more, as well as the craft and effort it takes to get to the level these dummers are on. Also remebering that being different makes the craft not boring, but adds color to the overall picture that we are privileged to have a part in. MUSIC!!!!

  • Y does evrerything gotta be a compo. They both giggin hard. Calvin lockin up the gospel scene and spank lockin up the secular scene

  • Man they are just blessing each other with licks thats it I don't know y yall bashing calvin or trying 2 open up a discussion about whose better both of them are great and it shows in the music they play. so just Thank GOD that they are blessing us with there talent

  • @lilc2daend Amen

  • come ppl stop it!!!!

  • thank you!!

  • there is know comparison spanky is to technical Calvin is not on that type of level that spank is when it comes to being that technical.calvin is one of the best but spankys style is wicked when people try to do what he does they sometimes mess up

  • ok now listening to the responses by calvin he answered spanky with the same licks but different applications around the kit..

  • but it ddnt sound hot @ all lol

  • first of all spanky is the most exceptional drummer in this era to compare him to calvin is just wrong. 2nd Calvin is a better pocket drummer and he plays licks in his concept of music as with Spanky on Tye Tribbett. The fact that every one is sittin up here hating on calvin because of this little shed which clearly doesnt display the real result of what would happen in a real battle because no drummer shows everything an as far as paint cans lol yall crazy..

  • Thanks

  • This looks like Doobie and Kev Church

  • 2 totally different styles by the way when it comes to recording a cd calvin is better

  • And Spanky will never get as many gigs as Calvin... Being session is where its at... Compare recordings between Calvin and Spanky...

  • Compare tours. The artist that Spanky tours with usually don't record live. Plus, artists don't hire Calvin, they are hiring Aaron Lindsey, so Calvin isn't getting those gigs by himself.

  • spankys been spendin too much time with jojo mayer!

  • So..... Yea spanky pretty much won this one lol but I think spanky is better anywayz. But don't get me wrong, CR is a monster on the set. I jus think he is better wen he is playing songz and no soloing. But big props to both.

  • Calvin did get beasted but I dont think the stuff that Spanky do is his forte

  • yeah I agree on that one

  • Thanks

  • yea i agree too

  • @patswayze18 - I totally agree, two very different style of drummers but both are vicious in there own way!!!

  • hey guys watch the spanky and ronald bruner shed in UK ,,,,,type in spanky bruner....

  • WHO TIME IS UP?

  • SPANKY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • NAW.

  • yea ryte

  • You're a fagggot

  • U must not play drums.

  • idk if Calvin was jus warming up or was he serious but spanky gave it 2 him on that one! DANG Calvin wat happend?

  • Those are my two favourite gospel drummers. Spanky should go up against tony royster.

  • Yea, but the thing about Tony is he defines 1 and EVERY NOTE in time...His timing is EXCELLENT, not just doing fills until finds the down beat.

  • But spanky's timing is dead on as well. All those off beats he does end up right back on time.

  • i do 2

  • The Open Face...

  • two of the top drummers in Gospel Music cant get much better..

  • both drummers are extremely gifted in their own right and have 2 totally different styles of play and they play totally different styles of music it is just a matter of all what you like.

  • 0:35 That sounds like the thing he did in the spanky and Rashid video.....Just sick...

  • Man what a convocation.......

  • Spanky killd em!!

  • AMEN!!

  • haha right

  • Finally, two of my favourite drummers shedding together at last. Nice clip.
