    The way Smelly optimizes the pauses and slowdowns so they serve a musical purpose while allowing him to get some rest and get momentum for when the fast double tempo kicks in again... That's musical intelligence

    I usually do not comment on youtube videos, it's just not me. But when I see this video, what I see is a man who is gonna get far, a look that says 'this is what I love, this is what I wanna do'. I just wanted to tell you this in case you ever feel lost in the middle of the way, and you doubt why are you here

      lol, indeed. I remember on the NOFX website years ago there was a question someone sent in asking Smelly if he used double bass pedals. He said no, "that's for lamer metalers" lol.

  • @Just-Michael
    @Just-Michael 12 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Dude, I don't blame you for going off time at certain points, the song is insanely fast, and any drummer who attempts it deserves props. Also all the tempo changes are tough. I'm not a great drummer myself, and I don't know if I'll ever get that good. I have a new respect for Smelly, he has to play those beats every day on tour, and I know 18 minutes is a long time, but he has to play for an hour +. But good job man, that was a hell of an achievement!

    I can't stop looking at the foot. I watch you love that pedal. GREAT COVER! The kick drum pedal isn't your enemy.... Erik did the same thing.... She likes it romantic. Fast is only good when it makes sense... And "The Decline" is something I'd love to share with my kids.... They love "USA-Holes", they always want to hear the "Titanic Song"... Yeah, I'm putting my kids on NOFX early...
