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
Absolutely stunning performance, Steve´s drumming flows melodically, awesome!
I mean, is there anything more soothing and infinitely effortless than watching this man play drums.
The GOAT for me.
Really, I'm glad I'm not the only one to think so too.

Beautiful drumming, wonderful musical homage to Bud Powell!
I can watch him for hours. Effortless and smooth.
Masterwork. Elite player. Premium shirts.
Steve’s shirt game is always strong.
Stick control like no other. Thank you Steve and band.
Great musicality. One of the greatest.
Masterful playing Steve, and nice shirt!
That stick work is second to none.... friggin brilliant.
Flawless as always.
It takes decades of experience just to fully understand everything played here. This was a master class in drumming.

Superb sounding drums being piloted by one of the masters.
Beautiful music, great sounding drums, masterfully played. Steve has evolved in a spectacular way.

Absolutely classic Steve. Maestro!
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)
Steve Smith, Dave Weckl, Gavin Harrison, monsters of jazz, fusion and big band.
There is so much taste in his playing!
I’m totally digging this approach to a tough tune, for sure. 😀👉🏼🥁🤷🏻♂️

Steve Smith est mon meilleur, quelle musicalité, je me lasse pas de l’entendre
Wow!
Master on the drums
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.
Bastante Loco diría yo!
😁🙌🏼🥁
Amazing Drummer Steve!
Excellent video production!
Thanks! Greetings from Barcelona
Nice to listen a Sonor drum kit performed by Steve Smith using #beyerdynamic on snares, hihat and kick drum. I love it!!
Absolute Silk!!!!
I love that all three tom toms are the same depth. I've wanted to try the same idea with 10x10, 12x10, 14x10.
Thanks for that.
LEGEND.......... ...............
what a legend!
Amazing drumming
It's not often I'm speechless...
wow.

The meaning of perfection.
Mr. Smith ❤
The master practicing is craft !
Kozak!

Brings me back to Buddy Rich. So nice.😶🌫

3:43 piece of stick tip goes flyin
The professor 😮
Smiles

what ride is that btw?
No pedals or hi hat is Sonor on a SONOR video?
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
What ride is Steve using?
what is the ride on the right please?
Seems to be a K Custom Left Side Ride with rivets ua-cam.com/video/jaLLzVGds1g/v-deo.htmlsi=VQogjH7kHe_GFnsI
I think for jazz, he likes to use Zildjian Kerope
K Custom Left Side Ride w/3 Rivets
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
Amazing! Simply amazing!
beautiful
