My wife thought the metronome blips were changing. I told her that they weren't changing, and the look on her face was priceless. This man warps time and rhythm like no other
I see Nate as this rotating, floating head that is orbiting a pulse that travels along a horizontal line. He circles around the pulse and sometimes the elliptical shape of the orbit means that he reaches out to touch the pulse, but it's always within reach. Then as the circle continues on, he is sometimes right on top of the pulse, in sync. And he has the ability to jump across the orbit at anytime, but he always falls somewhere on the orbit. Yes, this is trippy. Yes, it is primal. Yes it is Nate taking us for a glorious ride. Thanks for the visuals, Nate! Beautiful work as always.
@@daveedson32 I can vaguely envision it - hence the need for an animation 🤣 it sounds cool though. AI will probably be able to animate it for you in a few years
This is a metric modulation masterclass. You redefined what groove actually means! I am typing this comment in front of my practice pad. Whatever I play on this exact practice pad in the next couple of months will be a result of studying every little detail of the upcoming video series. Forever grateful for your beautiful music, Nate!
Yoooo Tyler. Nice video man! We met at the fearless flyers show at the Blue Note. Look forward to seeing more of your work, brother! Nate is a monster on the kit, as always.
I am working for the WTO (World Time Organization) and I can confirm, that we had to send out a request to Nate, where is obliged to make a break after every max. 2:50 minutes of playing! The risk that time itself (seconds, miliseconds, etc.) starts bouncing because it cannot resit following the groove is simply too big! We hope you understand.
It's amazing how well the metronome follows him.
😂
I can feel the metronome sweating
That got a legit lol
😂 I loved this one
Nate Smith, Matt Garstka, Billy Rymer, Marco Minemann, Arthur Hnatek, Morgan Simpson, Louis Cole, the "metronome's nemesis" type of drummers🤭
Nate feels the groove in places I don't even have.
Well put. He plays the groove we never knew we needed.
I’m quite sure he would find grooves in my tiny 37 square meters apartment either 😂
Proprioception, he talks about it in clinics
pause
I watch this video a lot. This is an inspiration in musicality and performance art.
I love his drumming, sound and his fashion sense. Very cool.
Yeah! I was thinking what a cool outfit
I really don't like his music but I go to every gig he does to see his drum stool, it's just so well adjusted.
❤❤❤
Yus! ❤
literally one of the best to ever sit behind the kit. levels of control beyond most human comprehension.
Been setting my clocks to him for years now.
Favorite part is the high-hat ending the phrase at 2:18, brushing it off like sweeping off a countertop.
Nate Smith isnt in the pocket, he IS the pocket

I wanna see this as an animation
@@return4570 Me too! I can envision it, can’t you? I just don’t have the tech skills to bring to life. Anyone?

@@return4570 Totally.

The drumming obviously speaks for itself. I also love the set. Very cool aesthetics.
This made me twitch and go "oooh" like I just bit into a lemon SO MANY TIMES. Incredible.
Nate Smith face shows you there will be 100% groove
Outstanding. I could listen all day
Expert execution on the groove. Those larger hi-hats sound great, too.
Sat here bobbing my head the whole entire time!!
🙂Wow, Nate ! U're fkn Great 🙏🏼
I am very fortunate in that I've seen Nate Smith play live and it's as amazing as one might imagine. I need to see him again!
That little groove at 0:57 just puts a smile on my face 😊
i love to be able to get the gate on the floor tom that rings for a moment after you hit it, we love you Nate.
I ❤ Free Jazz
What a great surprise - had no idea a second Pocket Change volume was happening!
We are blessed. Thank you.
I would love to see him and Anderson Park make a record together. Vibes would be 🔥🔥🔥
To think I only got to gig with you one time here in Richmond, Va back in the 90’s.
Amazing timing and creativity...Go Nate!
Just beautiful.
There’s nothing sloppy going on in this man’s life😂 That beat was meticulous!
Did you see his sneakers? He plays drums 24 hours and clean the sneakers 24 hours, all of it during a day.
One can learn drums but Nate has a mind for it. Something built in 😂
I dunno, you saw what I saw in that overhead shot? I think we found his slop
@@ayoungethanif he thought he fucked up, it wouldn't have made it onto TH-cam.
nice! it reminds me Mick Tucker's beat from the 'into the night' (by Sweet)
The groove so tasty, and the fashion on point. Those glasses are killer.
So good.....
Very nice.
Give us more of these.
Love ya brother.
Much love and respect
Got both my kids grooving with ya on this one
Happy holidays to you and yours
You're awesome, Nate. Please, come tour in Japan, too.
wonderful & beautiful 👌
Those stops were CLEEEEEEEEEAN!!!
What a beautiful snare
And just like that I’m inspired to run up to the practice room! Thanks for the inspiration!
That modulation was sick!
Oh men... amazing >great!!!!!!!
Its amazing
Intense, while also somehow being relaxed, groove - love it
Love those time changes and "spaces" he "plays". ❤
Wow!
He even faded himself out. No need for the engineer to do it. 😮. Masterclass here in being in the pocket and groove! 😊
😎👍♥️🥁🔊🎼 beyond funky bro!
I could listen to Nate drum all day!
sick!!!🔥🔥🔥
School is in session!
Amazing - I thoroughly enjoyed this Nate. Followed!!
Great sound, great groove
Truly great work by everyone involved!
Forgot to breathe!
What a groove and technical masterpiece!!
No words....just mesmerizingly groovy
Thank you TH-cam. Mad talent like Collin Stetson. 0:40 is fire
Thanks Nate for your God given gift and inspiring us all!
It was the 20,000 hours of practice and playing that got him there. But, whatever
still love your work!!
Nate Smith is the Ace of Aces
Im amazed how people are able to follow him, in the fearless flyers! I in shock. 💀
yes
Yoooo Tyler. Nice video man! We met at the fearless flyers show at the Blue Note. Look forward to seeing more of your work, brother! Nate is a monster on the kit, as always.
Ayyy, yes of course! So great to meet you & appreciate the support! :)
Just SUPERB
Super cool!
Amazing!!!
This is conception of the origin of Hip hop music in the primordial universe of the Bronx👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Maaaaaaaaaan...

My favourite drumer by far!

Man, you are out of this world! But I guess I should call it "Practise makes perfect". Very nice to hear what is possible.
Motivated and inspired to play drums every time I hear you play 💪
The mic setup is SO TASTY, damn man!
Masterfully done !!!!!
Such great feel.
literally mind blowing
Love it
so clean. love it
Amazing!
Love your sound!!
Steve Jordan, Carter McLean, and Mr. Smith here are the top influences in my playing in the last few years. Godness gracious.
No drum machine or DAW software will ever have the life experience to create that interesting a drum song.
wowww.
I was just wondering if the fleece beater helps with beater rebound on an unported kick?
Beautiful sound. Good work team
that was dope!
Great feel and vibes!
Nate the metronome Smith. 🎼🎵🎶🔥
magnifique. bisous de la france
Surely one of the coolest groove machines out there.
ey man!!!!! you won a barbecue in Argentina , when you decide!.bellisimo!!!! thank tank!!!!!!!!!!
Loved ya in Birdman. This pattern bend is warp drive
Please more this kind of stuff 🙏
yo. this is the funky drummer of the 21st century
Nate's snare and cymbal choices are always so tasteful. Those hi hats are CRISP
