    I like how he subtly modulates his volume but without loosing that crazy intricate groove as the other instruments come in and out. He gives them just the right amount of space.

    Nate Smith, such an individual talent and stylist, I love how he switches between being exactly on the beat and an exaggerated swing time. Groovy as fuck.

      @BYRRD Same here. 😂 That’s just Nate being Nate. 👑 I could’ve asked him, when I got to meet him after his concert in Berlin. 😉 But I tried to figure it out for the last couple of months and I’m pretty sure he uses a kind of push pull technique for triple strokes. 🤔 Throwing the first one, using a slight finger push to tap the second one (that’s the tough part) and catching the third one. 🙏 Practice makes perfect. 😅
