Black guy in metal and not hip-hop is the rarest thing you can see now

2006 > 2024

My dad went to school with him my aunt's boyfriend now mike when I see you next give me lessons I'll pay you

The first black American metal drummer that I have ever seen 😂😂😂

I love this Man !!! one of the BEAST death metal drummers of ALL TIME.

He didnt invent the blastbeat obv, but maybe he brought it to the hammer blast tecnique Love this guy, theres plenty of drummers in the DM scene (eg culross) but mike was one of the prime movers in the brutal death genre

Best drummer ever

Used this as inspiration when i first started drumming and had multiple drummers tell me how good my blast beats are after so many shows and i would always refer them to Mr Mike Smith

holy fuk

HIS BLAST BEAT SOUNDS LIKE AK 47

Класс 👍

I think about this clip about once a month for the last 15 years

Michael smith exploded outside Lonoke Arkansas rip it terra truck crash spark burn charge death

16 years and this is still some of the best music.

Goddamn! That is legit power!

\m/

Uhhh, actually? 🤔 There WERE a few others that WERE DOING THAT, dude 🥁. Maybe NOT the straight on, 1on 1 matching "SUFFO Blasts" as Mike Smith DID kinda help create THAT, IF THAT'S what "that guy behind the console" might be, referring to...Sure.. But yeah, Nawww guy , Lol...Mike and Suffocation are GREAT but, yeah....Can you say Pete COMMANDO Sandoval, Steve Asheim, Lee Harrison, Alex Marquez and??? The LIST actually CAN and DOES , go ON...Oh and yeah?, FAWK Syster of a Clown 🤡 THAT crap IS BEYOND unlistenable tripe. ROCK the funk ON 😎🤘🔥🤘

Mike is one of the best drummer in metal🤘😎🤘

I wore this DVD out back in like, '05-06. Searched TH-cam for this very clip. Thanks!!!!

He can't blast consistently. That's how he switched.

Oh yes good old System of a Down

I think because he is left handed? His arms don't cross over allowing both arms to be Parallel which allows his chest muscles to follow through....

Let’s be honest, SOAD blasting was amazing for a band that got a lot of mainstream success

Not to sound racist or anything but I have never seen an African-American person in a metal band

HI MIKE!!! Im right now listening to suffocation live 2005 on my ears I Hope you will come bac with suffo becose ............................. But luky me Ive got 4 SUFFOCATION Live performances on my personal minidisc so I love my self an a alf Thank you to listen to my kataklysm drum solo Your my def metal drum teacher !!! !!!

MONSTER

joey jordison did this all the time in disasterpieces

They're literally in a recording studio and used the mic built into the potato instead.

Mike fukkin Smith!!!!!🤘🤘🤘

Is he the drummer for ice t band body count. Either way dude is a badass

Mike and Pete Sandoval for life

Insane speed, and that smile due to the sheer joy of playing that damn fast :-)

dude they were doing this in the 80's

Most death metal drummers just use gravity blasting, which is weak.

*This is the very first black Metal drummer I've ever discovered, feels good*

@ 0:31 that "Fuck Yeah" nod he gives the camera-man kills me haha. Good shit

Mike Smith in no way created the blast beat...bands long before Suffocation had blasting. Always blew my mind that this was in a documentary.

Guy's a machiiiiiine!

Open handed drumming gotta love it

I remember watching this dvd when i bough the roadrunner united album a week or so after it came out. It was so much fun seeing all those artists collaborate

This is one of those videos where you go "how the f*ck does he do this, this is impressive! I hate it with every fiber of my being, but being able to make this noise requires some serious drummeing abilities.... just keep it far, far away from my ears.

"they cant keep that intensity" *used triggers* 😂

“Wanna hear me blast?”… bvrbvrbvrbvrbvrbvrrr

Fuck yeah big dog, definitely heard the difference... 💪😆 😎

Mike Smith created the style of blastbeat that he’s doing, for all the “metal scholars” that are posturing for nobody in the comments.

Yeah

No bro I'm to late
