Spanky is truely a great and original drummer and every real drummer has to give him his props for what he did on the album. But I dont know, personaly I would've have just played the songs and rather than hearing Spanky's flavor, you would have heard mine. I'd have just put the licks I most often use in different places...I think his playing style along with Tye's music go pretty much hand and hand, so I dont think too many drummers out there could have done a better job.
