Even though this piece was recorded when Aaron was still with us, it somehow captures what a special musician - what a special person - he was. So much depth, so much honesty, so much passion. Rest in peace, Aaron.
Nate you’re a wonderful drummer, thanks for the inspiration! I’m 60, playing for over 50 years, I often find mice elf back at your vids digging what you do
As always, great stuff. Of course never even so much as got to hear Aaron live, but he seemed like one of the best people on the planet. Condolences to you and all his friends and family that feel his loss more than I ever will. Great tribute.
Young drummers of today are so into linear fills and chops, they should come here and see what is real drumming... Nate is a groove master, so tastefull, so simple and yet extremely complex
Far as i'm concerned this is suspenseful. This is some heist movie clutch moments shit. i'm bouncing between Nate Smith, Benjamin James, and Marcus Gilmore. What if? "In a world, where drums knew no bounds. Three unlikely friends drummed together to save the world. In theaters this Fall"
This is literally how I hope drum solos will be played, rather than the conventional "only speed, and double bass" being thrown at it. But then again, this is just pure amazing.
After is watched this at 2 in the morning, the doorbell rings, the neighbor is at the door in the middle of the night, good thing I was drumming, because that's what I felt like doing after watching this video.
I don’t think it’s technically difficult for him. I think he just feels emotionally connected to this best and wants to expand its potential. No need for that statement because I saw live and the dude is amazingly versatile.
its 12 midnight here in singapore. i was about to go to bed. and now i cant cos nate just played this.
Stay up with us
Same here.1am in Japan, no time for sleep, Nate is ripping it.
Same here in
Greece.00:30 and Mr. Smith keeps me awake.
Thank you for this moment, Nate. It’s a profound meditation on Aaron’s legacy. Our hearts are missing that beat
Genius
Perfect algorhythms.
Highly happy, or as some would say - proud, to be living in the same era this exact piece was recorded.
Beautiful. Thank you. Now I see I need to work on dynamics with my left foot. 😮

When was it recorded?
@@User-vl6xlI don’t know the answer to that but I do know the album was released on 2023-12-14.
@wheatthicks a month and a half after Mr. Spears passed
A great meditation for Aaron. Love this.
Que Groove!!!
sem palavras...
O que resume Nate Smith, é sendo Rei e a lenda do Groove!!!!

RIP to Aaron Spears and Shaun Martin. Crazy they're both gone in the same year.
Aaron was always back there smiling, what great human energy ❤️
Every video leaves me more inspired than the last.

Beautiful, just beautiful ❤❤
VA All Day!!!!
Good stuff Bro 💪🏾💙💪🏾

Listening to you play the drums is like taking a journey into the unconscious.
Thanks OG
oooooof look at this kit dang
Brilliant groove, his way of expression is so unique and tasty
Magnificent.
Bah bah bah bah ... thank you!
Thank you ❤️ I like it
Nate can do so much with so little🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you NS!!
rest easy Aaron
Amazing
The only drummer who dares to take Steve Gadd off the throne in my mind. Amazing.
Try Benny Greb, Keith Carlock, Marcus Gilmore to name a few
Music should be experienced in way that nothing can seem better. But there is always something better
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Haha is it simple though?
@iamthemoneyj no it's not simpler
I don’t think the exploration is bad but I get what you mean. It lacks connection with the sound
Let ppl do their thing there is no right way to play an instrument haha
Jesus the snare needs a cigarette after that
Magic!
masterpiece 🥁
anybody got some details on the @zildjian cymbals in that clip?
Great hi-hat articulation with just the foot.
最高にcool👍🎉

Офигенно!
格好良❤
Badass

Innovate Innonate!
First🖤
RVAs finest
The algorithm bots played this and i said, damn, that's some badazz drums. Then I looked and said, yeah.
🙏🙏🙏🤎
Heh.. it's difficult to get away from playing that same beat, eh? I get it. Well., definitely expanded on it :-)

Nate Smith doesn’t even play drums. He plays music using drums.
nasty
Absolutely disgusting
👌👌👏👏🙂
