I think in my opinion Ladell because of his pocket. When he keeps pocket he make the song sound so much better than your average drummer. He knows when to roll. He also has an amazing and fast foot.But don't get me wrong , Spanky is out cold. I just heard him on the song by Tyrone "Tye" Trippet, he's my joy. All through the song he kept pocket. But at the end during the shouting part, he ripped it out out of controll,but I have to say LaDell is better.

Ummmm...I think that it may be a different story if you heard both of these drummers live. It seems that most drummers hold back in the studio since the focus of a song (generally) is not the drums but the words. But I'm sure that may be up for argument as welll.

I think spanky is the better drummer. His pocket is so serious that only the unthinkable would think of things he do on a drum set. don't get me wrong ladell can play. But for anybody who see spanky live would know the difference
