If it weren't because over the years I see him grow older I would think he's not human.
This man plays in another league, he's on a higher level.
Steve always stylish in drumming and his shirts
Steve IS always stylish.. Am I right? Does it really matter for native English speakers to use the verb BE in such sentences ?
@@dmitrymerkushov3949 by dropping "to be", it definitely sounds like a mistake if said by a non-native speaker. But as with all native speakers of all languages, we sort of just allow these sort of errors to happen because we're already affirmed by their accent and cadence etc. Also, TH-cam comments are so casual that even the most basic grammartical structure isn't overly important.
Best all around drummer on the planet! How can someone be such an accomplished jazz and fusion player, and also have a few go arounds in one of the biggest rock bands in the world.
Easily one of the most versatile drummers alive. This is absolutely incredible. I love to juxtapose his work with Vital Information against live recordings of Journey back in the 1980's. The stylistic range he has is just amazing.
I saw him many times in the 70s and 80s with Jean Luc Ponty's band.... He was scary AF then. What is that ? A million years ago? Man, he swings on this track! This is just smoke!
And don't forget that Steve Smith also played Metal music!
Just check out Ritchie Kotzen's 1989 self titled debut album for instance with great grooves on tracks such as Strut It or ferocious double kickdrum playing on Unsafe At Any Speed.
0:18 --- when his pinky wraps under, he goes from the buzz to double-stroke; super smooth-like.
I will always wonder how bad can a person's life be to dislike a video like this.
Jealousy
We can't please everyone.
Alot of it is personal taste,that and not everybody understands jazz
They have no idea what they're watching is my guess.
I'm not really into jazz, but love to watch jazz drummers. This drummer reminds me of Buddy Rich. I've watched this end to end twice which means I love this video.
Holy smokes! I’m not much of a jazz guy but that was absolutely unreal.
You are now
A true Master makes the impossible appear easy...Thanks, Steve!
Wow I think he's the most prolific and inspiring drummer on this planet,
How smooth is his style, #Wow
I hafta say, ALL FOUR of these guys are monsters. Great music clip (not just another solo [which I love]) from the Drumeo festival! Makes me a little sad I didn't get to see it in person :)
Steve can not possibly be from this planet.....its out of this world.
Mammamia...assolutamente incredibile, perfetto.Steve!!Sei il re
Steve is from another planet, but that piano man is killin it
The one and only Manuel Valera! 🎹
@@andrewj4442 Damn man...
Looking back some decades, it’s quite amazing how Mr. Smith has modified his whole physical approach to the instrument… and can swing like…
I'm a simple man: I see a title with a well known Sonor drum endorser that is a professionally recorded performance I click.
Was not disappointed.
I m a complicated man, I see a simple man I click lol. Steve is great 👍
I see Steve Smith and I click. End of story
...I'm even more simple...
No matter what Steve is doing it is always inspirational, educational and chest sounds freaking awesome
I see Steve Smith and I think Australian cricketer, what a dumb arse I am, this guys is off the charts
It's like effortless for Steve Smith, he plays the whole time smiling, sticks absolutely flying, incredible musician.
a best old perfomer, thank you drumeo
I love how a lot of how he plays is understated. Like if you knew nothing about music you might not even notice how badass his is.
Jazz musicians: What if we all do a solo at the same time for the entire song?
He is comping. Not soloing all throughout the song.
Everyone’s soloing and noone’s soloing... jazz is its own thing
@@__julio__ Perfectly stated.
28 people got your comment, 2 didn't.
Best thing about this is Pro Tools didnt throw any beat detective on it. What he played is what you hear. Whether weinke Jazz or not. The Music was played by Humans not AI!
Steve never disappoints.
This is simply exceptional. Steve Smith is a Drum Master. I understand this may not be everyone’s cup of tea but his playing is just amazing
He could use a few drum lessons.
😆
His technique is just next level!
steve was neil peart favorite drummer. and steve is the reason neil took lessons with freddie gruber.
erik freedom dave weckl too got inspired from steve to study w/ freddie gruber.
Neal like leson from gruger for be like Steve . he likes so much the drum for play. this true . thanks you for know ledge
Loved it - and loved the shirt!!! ................. Fantastic, Wonderful, Marvelous! ....................................Go you good things!!!
my favorite drummer
Incredible. That ride!
That thing sounds amazing
I got to see Steve Smith and Vital Information perform a few years ago. I was front row, about 10 feet from Steve's kit. As a drummer, of course I was keyed in on everything Steve Smith was doing, but I left the concert amazed at how good the other musicians in his band are. Vinnie is an absolute SMOKING guitar player and he actually drew my attention away from Steve throughout the night.
Thank you as always. We look forward to working with you in the future.
Bravooooo!!👋👋
A big thumbs up .. absolute legend and inspiration!!
I always loved him from the Journey Capture album... Great live album to listen to.
I need to know where he gets his shirts! You are a legend Mr. Smith.
Neil Peart (RIP) asked Steve how he came so good! he said Freddy....Freddy is the secret! (Freddy Gruber)
Smooth, Relax, Technical, Musical.. What more can you ask for.
One of my favorite.. :)
Hi Drumeo. Big fan.
“Buddy Rich is The best dru......SHIT!!”
His Touch is simply unmatched.
Happy bday steve smith😎🙏
5:01 that fill tho...
5:35 blew me away
That ride cymbal sounds like a million bucks
His drumming is so musical and melodic
That drumming is insane !!!!!💣💯💥👌👌👌👌
Steve "Machine Gun" Smith😎👍
Yeah !!! WoW!! hut ab - stand up!!
Am I the only one who think that he plays sending kiss to the audience? By the way, as a drummer, I have to say.... he's not from this world...
This was great! This was pretty ironic was that last year sometime in May Vital Information was in my hometown also in that same month a Journey tribute band called Separate Ways was also in town. I was unaware of Vital Information being in town till a week or so later...boy that would have been amazing to have seen Vital Information along with Separate Ways. Both of those shows would have been amazing! I hope and pray that Vital Information comes back.
Awesome video!! Ran in to him at the pay phones, back when we had them, at Boston Logan International Airport,maybe in 1992, or so . He was heading off to Europe for a tour.when I realized he was on the pay phone next to me I screamed and said “Holy shit. You’re Steve Smith!!” and kinda’ scared him. But, he was so nice and kind and we talked shop from Berklee College of Music student to another and I’ll never forget it!! What a great day!!🥁🎶🥁
That George Costanza can sure play the piano 👍
Greatest Drummer Alive!
that is the greatest ride cymbal I've ever heard
So smoooooooth!
Legendary performance indeed
Wow beautiful playing Steve and the band sounds so dam GoooooooooooooooooooD.
Wow! Very inspiring to see these Drumeo performances 🥁🥁🥁👏👏👏👍
Dat ride
I can play the first 3 seconds of this, but not nearly as well as he did!
Extraordinary guys keep rocking everyone🎉🎉🎉🎉
Steve Smith est un virtuose , du grand art.
I never saw Mr. Smith during his tenure with Journey but saw him a couple times with his Jazz outfit and was blown away. He didnt talk much but let his drums talk. Very fluent, versatile and tasteful!!
He has that something very special I felt when I saw Steve Gadd and Billy Cobham. I wonder how he was when he played rock with Journey?
I think the drumset gets happy when Steve Smith plays it.
He wrists are better well shaped than my entire body. And I am a bodybuilder.
How do you build a bidy?
Can you make please a Jazz video lesson with Steve Smith
Well, i miss the old Vital Information..
This is what happens when man and craft R1. Practice, practice; play, play. ✌🏽🥁
This guy is really good. He should go pro.
Maybe it will lead him to a different JOURNEY in life?
Who is the bass player?
coincidence i was liestining to journy yesterday and now i see this
Who are the musicians ???
Excelente 👌 Great audio as well 👌
Master ❤👍 thank you so much 🎵
I thought it couldn't get better than Cindy Blackman but here it is!
Steve the Great master !
This guy's a beast! Whether in jazz or cheesy 80s rock n' roll!!
First
Never heard steve smith before, love his Playing
He was with Journey for many years.
Very crazy drumming! Nice :-)
Brother of Nate?
Maestro 👊
Wow...
Однозначно, композиция сделала мой сегодняшний вечер.
I love Jazz
OHHH MWANNN!! LITERALLY A BEAST💥! BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY-"THAT SNARE ANGLE THO!? "😹
More ergonomic if you play traditional grip.
it’s just as isi said. some players (like keith carlock) have more extreme angles if i’m not mistaken.
I miss the 90's Vital Information. What happened to fusion?
Where.is.the.guitar.!@@@! Turn the man up already!
OK but how does the ensemble make money?
They will be in demand as musicians for 50 years, not 5 minutes.
JESUS CHRIST Loves y'all!
What kind of microphones are those?
is that Ric Fierabracci on bass?
Great drumming,the shirt wouzzza colours so on.
Time to buy a 2nd Snare
Don't like the mixing. Drums too high, guitar too low.
great great
Ummm... who are the other players in the band? Song writer? Shouldn't the credits be in the description?
Hello
YEA / TIGHT / SMOOTH / APPEARS EFFORTLESS / BUT NOT⁉️⁉️ WILLY CA 🥁🔥🥁🔥🥁🌹🥁🙏🥁👍🔥⚡️
God knows what it feels like to play note to note and being in the moment the whole song and justifying it ! Really inspires me and I hope a lot of other people to practise ! Hope you all are doing well and practicing and listening to a lot of music. :)
I think Steve is great. Nothing against, him but I hate when a solo or long intro starts with a long, soft, building snare roll. So overdone.
Steve est fabuleux.Grande finesse,sensibilité,énorme technique liée à un son fabuleux...bref un trés grand musicien
Cos he has the artistry to do it.
LOVE STEVE SMITH!
This same song is played by Javier Santiago Thomas pridgen and the Jazz thug.. the tribute... to the man behind this awesome some.. I dare you look it up
This guy is out of this world. What a musician! And he doesn't seem to age and gets better every year. I will go now and play my little grooves....
Didn't know Creed from the office was such a sick jazz drummer
Steve Smith is the reason I love drums,
one of the greatest drummers.
@@jaysonfate8422 For sure, he's incredible. Love the energy he carries through the whole piece
