love how Nate leans into the study and dissection of fundamental grooves. he's politely showing you different elements to check out in this unassuming beat; it's like really looking at a leaf at all angles. man's in his Piet Mondrian De Stijl bag
Sonically and visually brilliant, as usual ! The video-editing is fabulous. The color theme, from the frames of the glasses to the room itself...and the repeated geometric themes, from the sculpture behind Nate to the arrangement of drum sticks on the floor around the kit seen in the overhead shots...are dope details. Thanks to Nate and his team for another well-crafted serving of the Smith Dopesauce...👍🏽🙏🏽😎😋😉🤗
Damn, those beats just beat my mind from my body right into an ocean of funkotronic groove-fried imaginary bass and riff ideas, all coming from his set.
Thanks for putting the sticks on the ground. That is what my practice room looks like after an hour. One of these days I’ll figure out how to hold on to the sticks. I think closing my eyes and keeping time with my shoulders doesn’t help.
Seriously who TF is cooler than Nate Smith on the drums? Even as accomplished as he is I still don't think he gets enough attention for how great his drumming is.
the way this man inspires me to be a better drummer is fucking amazing, he makes me believe it's possible to be the grooviest drummer in my city, thanks Nate 😊
Crispier than an autumn afternoon
Geeeez 😎
Deep
As a bass player...thank you lord, oh thank you. Looping this and pretending I got to play with Nate Smith.
As a drummer that just played bass to this for an hour I concur :)
I cannot hit like button cause it has 69 likes. But i Like it.
Do some of the same with Nate’s albums Pocket Change!
You got two full albums of just Nates drums on Pocket change I and II
That was my first thought immediately I heard the first few chops.
Nate Smith doesn't listen to click tracks, click tracks listen to him.
Now that was a real cool statement!
Groove is so heavy I felt like shitting my pants
LOL😂
I already did
Someone shit my pants 🥸
Jarvis, unshit my pants
I see you, dog.
Phat!
I obviously missed the ceremony where Bernard Purdey passed the torch to Nate
Facts
No ceremony, Nate just took it.
I think Steve Jordan's still holding a part of that torch too

I was with this till the Mondrian thing …
A Masterclass in timbre, tone, groove, dynamics, pocket, damn near everything, and he makes it look so easy.
Maestro! 🙏🙌
"how many ghost notes do you want?
-yes"
the silence is the power! amazing groove
Dude is kicking with just a snare, floor tom, and bass drum. Awesome groove!
Dude does more with a three piece than KFC could ever dream of.
I loved that part of silence after that amazing fill
Agree. Silence is the missing magic ingredient for many musicians. Sting is a master of using it.
That is flutter lick is taken from steve gadd, gotta love his influences
Love this!! Already looking forward to Pocket Change 3, 4, 5...!
That kick mix is phenomenal… it hits with just the right sub-bass and decay I can feel the whomp even with my airpods
Walking into work listening to this, DAYUM, I nearly walked out my Prosthetic 🦿😂 My two step is Always on the One!!!
I have so much respect for drummers like Nate who can turn simple into miraculous while making it look effortless
I'm always SO inspired watching you play. I wanna rush back to my kit now!!!
This snare is such a beautiful instrument ❤
Sonically and visually brilliant, as usual ! The video-editing is fabulous.

Glad those details didn’t go unnoticed. Thank u, glad u enjoyed our vid 🙏
@@HourglassSessions yall did a bang up job and brought justice to Nate's wicked playing. thanks for the effort and execution!
It's just as melodic as it is groovy!
That is the kind of groove that makes you feel cool just listening to it. I am not cool, but I felt cool for about 3 1/2 minutes.
Lovin' the mic placements! Drums r Rockin'!
I saw you at West Coast Drum Shop. Just played bass to this for a solid hour. Thank you again drummer from another mother :)
As a bass player, you’re my GOAT! Keep it nasty Sir!
That hi-hat makes an interesting tone as it closes. Very cool
14 or 15" Avedis hihats ?
you're goddamn right that's the most replayed part
*everyone just said WAT
What a beautiful piece, Maestro. That right hand at 2:55 is GOLD.
Damn, those beats just beat my mind from my body right into an ocean of funkotronic groove-fried imaginary bass and riff ideas, all coming from his set.
Love the groove!
Genuinely stunned. Absolutely amazing.
man, I can listen to this cat "groove" for hours.
You can basically call it composing. I swear, his beats and loops are masterpieces, often.
Nate effortlessly makes it feel wider on the groove; paul jackson would've feasted on this! ❤🔥
Always amazing, thanks and congrats
The finest! What is that Zildjian (Swish/china-like) cymbal with the rivets?
Curious to know as well!
Thumbnail had me so confused. Looked like he was wearing a mask and belonged in slipknot! Killer grooves
Quiet and tight groove. Love it. just subbed! 🙏
that floor tom sounds SO GOOD omg
2:15 i shouted OHHHHH alone in my living room
Me too!
"yeah"
So tight!! Your show in denver with kiefer and cartoons was the best show i've ever seen!
Brother Nate taught me a long time ago that pocket will get you the gig!! Thanks my brother and for the horn arrangements sir!!!!!!
Love it, killer groove keeps you on edge if your seat
I could listen to this all day!
Nate has been at the top of my radar for the past few years. He defines more from less. He's like a drum machine with a soul.
Amazing
Thank you for this. Such a treat
Thank you !
❤️
Thats really inspiring, thnx)
Absolutely dope!
I could listen to Nate just play a simple quarter note backbeat on a snare and kick all day. The pocket is so solid every time!
Thanks for putting the sticks on the ground. That is what my practice room looks like after an hour. One of these days I’ll figure out how to hold on to the sticks. I think closing my eyes and keeping time with my shoulders doesn’t help.
That may be the sweetest sounding bass drum I have ever heard.
Proving that groove is more important than anything🎉
This groove 🔥
this has such Bernard Purdie vibes and I'm all for it!
Dope!
tone heaven
The absolute definition of “in the pocket” 🥰
Gorgeous!
Magnifique
This makes me happy :)
Fills make the thrills grooves pay the bills!
Puts a smile on my face
The pocket is crazy!!!
music is a travel, when a musician is playing his traveling in his head through the rhythm
Aptly Named! No One will dispute this!
I can hear this guy drumming all day long!
so good!
My all-time favourite groove.. Slammin’
Seriously who TF is cooler than Nate Smith on the drums? Even as accomplished as he is I still don't think he gets enough attention for how great his drumming is.
Nate is the best thing to listen to when you've got drums in the room.
love it
Nate Smith plays a whole band's music in his drum track alone
Dope.
Awesome as always !
Well Done ❤ Very Impressive drum skills of rhythmic jazz and intensity 💯👑
Dope ! 🔥🔥🔥
He taught us to count to 7
This man is a treasure!
Master Groove !!
Sooo coool!!!! 👌👌👌
Groove-licious!
Nate ALWAYS bringing the fire 🔥
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Addictive groove! ♥
Please somebody make this a 24 hour loop 🔁🔥🔥🔥🔥
the way this man inspires me to be a better drummer is fucking amazing, he makes me believe it's possible to be the grooviest drummer in my city, thanks Nate 😊
Man, just think of how good he's going to be when he can afford to get more drums!
I looooove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have a drum kit anymore but one day I'm going to play this if it kills me
What the hell? This is the best thing I ever watched
This is therapy
Common need to rap on this one.
On a Be II album
Great time!
Fiiire 🔥🔥
Great drumtrack you got there... Would be a shame if nobody used that for their tracks. :)
Great Groove Brother. Any upcoming events in Europe?
🔥
Brilliant
clean, solid!
I stop everything to watch this man play.
The deepest pocket on earth! Still my favorite drummer hands down :)
