The drums and cymbals are set up ergonomically perfect for him, and his drumming reflects an effortlessness and comfort level smoothly displaying the physical aspect of his ability to make his contribution to this musical composition come to life. In other words, he's good.
greatest drummer I have ever seen live ... inspired me to get a Sonor Lite kit, which I played in the 2400 sq ft warehouse I rented in San Francisco's Mission district .. with a GREAT guitarist / composer and an OK bass player ... ppl came to see / hear us play, but we never played out
Man, as I listen to this what truly amazes me is how he employs every single component of this drum kit. It just all needs to be there for him to execute this. And it's so musical. It's mind boggling to me, an old guy who can barely find his way around a five piece these days. It's all how you use it.
I had the good sense to go to a Steve Smith clinic and I gotta say, it was inspiring, interesting, fascinating, enjoyable & mind-blowing to say the least. SECOND TO NONE. HIGHLY recommend!!!
@@peterpeters4553there are lot of great drummers, sure but Steve among the very top elite and the best to me. No need to get yourself some defensive and upset😂 👍🏼🥁
@@mrc8086 I am not upset at all and Steve is indeed a great drummer that is not my point i am just saying that's all. You see this also with guitarplayers, again it is not a contest . No one is the "best" but there are lots of good players.
If anybody said to me...." Show me an articulate.. precise... fluent drummer ".... I'd say....' Here you go '.... Just effortless , tasty drumming , and fills...truly a talented....to say the least...." Drummer's Drummer ".....🤗
I love Sonor. Their hardware is simply, the least good of the main brands. That’s speaking for their Tom mounts too. Their amazing drums are worth it tho

I mean, is there anything more soothing and infinitely effortless than watching this man play drums.
The GOAT for me.

I can watch him for hours. Effortless and smooth.
It takes decades of experience just to fully understand everything played here. This was a master class in drumming.
Beautiful drumming, wonderful musical homage to Bud Powell!
Stick control like no other. Thank you Steve and band.
Masterwork. Elite player. Premium shirts.
Steve’s shirt game is always strong.
Steve Smith, Dave Weckl, Gavin Harrison, monsters of jazz, fusion and big band.
Great musicality. One of the greatest.

Masterful playing Steve, and nice shirt!

That stick work is second to none.... friggin brilliant.

Beautiful music, great sounding drums, masterfully played. Steve has evolved in a spectacular way.
Great looking video and sound....with the best drummer there is! Thanks Sonor and Steve!
There we go again, there is no "best" drummer, it is no contest. There are so many wonderfull drummers please stop the contest.

@@peterpeters4553 I'm so tired of this endless "best" contest as well (Steve Smith is one of my favorite drummers)
Exquisite feel, musicality and technique. Bravo!
One Word....Superdrumming !! Wish I had one arm or one leg of this Men 😂....Hope I can buy a Sonor set one day.
Nice to listen a Sonor drum kit performed by Steve Smith using #beyerdynamic on snares, hihat and kick drum. I love it!!
More jazz fusion ! Love it ✅
Superb sounding drums being piloted by one of the masters.
Such elegant playing!
Steve is just great!
Love the Sonor drums.
I’m totally digging this approach to a tough tune, for sure. 😀👉🏼🥁🤷🏻♂️
😎👍💗💪🥁🔊🎼STEVE ROCKS!!! I've been a hugh fan since his outstanding performance on T-Mac's "Edge of Insanity!"
Steve Smith is phenomenal is every musical context! Just awsome!
Just saw Steve a couple months ago at a local club here (pretty much same kit and set up as here). Amazing player and one of the greats IMO.
There is so much taste in his playing!
Steve Smith always has been great: Not let the techniques prevail, but gets very much guts feeling in his playing. I love it.
Holy S#^&! That was amazing Steve!
Absolutely classic Steve. Maestro!
Awesome playing ❤

I think for jazz, he likes to use Zildjian Kerope
K Custom Left Side Ride w/3 Rivets
Smiles
I respect Steve for covering these pieces, but I think there's too much rack tom for jazz.
it's all DW hardware FFS!
I love Sonor. Their hardware is simply, the least good of the main brands. That’s speaking for their Tom mounts too. Their amazing drums are worth it tho
Nice hybrid
Wow!!!!
