[@aJuicyFunkBeat]

How have I never heard of this guy? Spanky's playstyle is like the vacuum sealed level of FRESH.

Check out The Tribbett (gospel artist)- that was his start. Then he played for Lady Gaga. But Tye had a band called "Sound Check"- be prepared to be WOWd bruh

[@aJuicyFunkBeat]

Thomas Taylor Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@thomastaylor1217]

@@aJuicyFunkBeat bruh, I told you. They are on another hemisphere lmao

Thomas Taylor FACT

[@Drumzoo]

Yeahhhh Spanky🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Such tasty playing. Love the flavors he adds with the left floor tom, bongos and piccolo snare

[@DrogoEisenschwein]

Style, groove, technique, heart, warmth. This video has everything I need to see and hear. Great. :)

[@ejphotography7514]

The MASTER of in between the 1’s!!! 🙌🏽💯👌🏽

[@eogyeung]

Thank you MEINL for introducing one more phenomenal player to me!

[@TheItalianDrummer]

Yeaaaa mannn Spanky snapped on this joint, I'm all for this!

[@danielcano3725]

I love my 20” dark crash - all of the cymbals sounded amazing

[@victorwooten1202]

George has gone this far thats great to see like the feelings

[@8020drummer]

Killin. I wish Spanky could go back in time and play on some of John McLaughlin's classic records

[@meinlcymbals]

Dude...best comment I have seen all day. Never thought of it till you said it, but now I totally want to hear that. - Chris/Meinl

[@cbaum64]

Goddang Spanky knows how to utilize his entire kit, that sense of groove is nuts

[@TrackDrums]

If a stick has to break, it broke at the right time! Incredible playing! Major kudos!

[@saxenas]

I love all these kinds of drum tracks. They sound so heavenly, inspirational, positive and uplifting. Motivational. Sounds like that dead or alive music the video game on xbox

[@andyham6094]

Meinls really fit Spankys style perfectly. Even when he was with sabian I just thought some of meinls darker and drier cymbals would suit his playing perfectly.

[@meinlcymbals]

Glad to hear you say that Andy. Spanky is family-style-cool and a monster drummer; basically the two attributes that we're always looking for in any artist that we bring onboard. - Chris/Meinl

[@GGDrummer]

Excellent drumming George!! 👏👊🥁

[@odiestix]

Always inspiring! Great stuff!

[@LilVicBric]

Wish we could have heard the Kick more over the track @meinl .... SPANKY IS A BEAST!!! Every instrument he played needed to be heard clearly. Spanky is awesome!

[@Shankabottomus]

Damn bro, creative as hell.

[@GTDrums]

Been always my Favorite Drummer!!!🎼🥁🙌🏾✌🏾👍🏾

[@BorgoDrums]

Sounds like the engineer exaggerated a bit with the snare gate...

[@1fat66]

Twenty seconds in and I am thinking "Why can't I hear those ghost notes?!"

[@starbuk138]

Agreed. The snare has no life. The whole mix sounds like the kit hasn't been given space to 'breathe'. Otherwise great playing, and the actual sound of the kit is great.

[@o.t.n.o]

Good point, really overzealous with the gate

[@fernandopaulus9088]

This is why engineers shouldn't watch drum covers

[@PabloHernandez-kl8yk]

I think that it's because the drum head. The Hydraulic has that "dry" and "gated" sound on snares and on the rest of the drums

[@nekow1785]

His stick broke at the perfect time😂

[@EverythingisFire]

Hopefully they weren't Meinl sticks 👀

[@michaelfaulkner5839]

That was dope, love the track 🎶🎼🥁

[@krazykalle4518]

3:39 sounds like an order in a restaurant

[@noahbirdrevolution]

Take every cool, fun, and challenging way of playing drums then mix it together and you get Spanky.

[@ARDrummer]

Smooth and creative drumming!

[@JohnCrichton]

This dude is the best improviser I've heard in my life

[@danielcutting2796]

Watched on repeat.

[@DonPelzerMusic]

Man that fill at mark 3:17 though. Whewwwwwww 🔥🔥🔥 Spanky is amazing and those cymbals sound great. What mics are you using?

[@bencarriere9585]

Did he drop one of his sticks? If he did that was a super impressive recovery.

[@Philtoid]

Quietest ghost notes ever

[@JohnCrichton]

That's how good his feel is

[@danteross3578]

Philtoid nah, it’s just bad mixing

[@GOODGAME4EVA]

Crazy rig set up

[@lenthericjames4925]

my favorite drummer go!!! Spank

[@iansnyder8172]

I just want to know what jacket he has on at the end...

[@isaacvandoren4733]

This is one baaaaad dude 👍

[@michaelcurtis4616]

2:10 minute mark🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 idk how to explain what just happened. Sparky is so dope!!!

[@NashNARDONE]

OG with the heat

[@carlosdrummerboylundyremai8191]

Spanky is the 🐐 when it comes to off time playing

[@jonn443]

Danny Carey and Larnell Lewis.

[@eliborg]

@@jonn443 he’s not talking about odd time He’s talking about playing between the 1s Which Spanky is actually really really good at

[@matt_dockorn_drums]

Nice Job 👏👏👏👏

[@yashabenyishrael3452]

Spanky stuck in the vibe, sounding very " PRO!" On dis 1

[@TheBlaqEagle]

ok but can we talk about the drums and heads? that setup is quite unique! what are the specs?

[@marccusph]

wow! nice job, man

[@NickyByloo]

Stellar!

[@kosmos1448]

Gotta control the bleed. You can put the ghost notes on a new track but maybe they just pushed the faders up and uploaded the video!

[@mohdamiruddinsulaiman1383]

Awesome!

[@junkandcrapamen]

Sick!

[@jusin5482]

I feel like fusion was expressed

[@gmorton916]

that it was

[@justinsiegel6720]

Good shit

[@jangobango2847]

Bruh been playing to this track for months! Killin bro I tried to match the tracks hihats ostinato alot more than you did killlllin

[@drumm394]

Where can I find the track?

[@yannisbernard4091]

ça fait pas de la bonne pub pour la marque de baguette,un défaut de fabrique ou un trop d'énergie?!...Bravo wonderful and original drumming MR Mc Curdy.THX sooooo much to Meinl,and also Vic Firth and Zildjian,we live a great period about jazz musique on the web cause of them!!

[@JordanSThunder]

[@lancehollum857]

Yes the engineer . Yes he he he. Lol. He he he. Snare sounded good k to me. Free flowing. Tama drums really sound great

[@kbj2459]

Grooooooooooove ~

[@ryannatanael7883]

Jamie Foxx 💪🏾😁

[@andreswaringer1476]

I wonder if his toms sound that dampened/flat or is that the engineer's doing

[@terryTHEMARVELOUSmr88]

No those are most likely those red Hydraulic heads which has oil in between the two plies to actually dampen the sound of the drums. Especially for studio-type situations

[@GotLove4All]

Dang Spanky!! Let the song breathe brah!!! LOL!!! Great job dude! Ain't haten on ya.👍👍👍
