I hope you are not doing a maths degree! 100 out of 100 is the maximum number 100% is the maximum percentage. anything above is not considered a fraction... just sayin'!
Another example of "do-I-even-know-how-to-play-the-drums?" after playing for +/-35 years and teaching for perhaps half that time. SO CRAZY GOOD. Thanks for sharing your gifts!!!!
I just saw Nate + Kinfolk this past Sunday night at Monterey Jazz....wow! Guy and his band blew me away! Got to chat afterwards with him back stage. Just a super nice guy...and a killer player!!!!
You must have heard this a million times before but the way you handle those 22” and stop them. That’s just amazing. Leave phrasing for the of the band. I’m gonna practice this stuff until I make it to something that sounds like me, but with your context in mind. Thank you for your inspiration. Greetz from the Netherlands.
quelle claque !! allez un petit mot en français pour montrer que Nate + Kinfolk sont vraiment aimés en FRANCE. Du soutien les gars pour l'un des tous meilleurs batteurs et ses musiciens ! y'a quand même un sacré groove et un sacré level. Bravo !
Am I the only one who's had the thought that a collab between Nate Smith and Jacob Collier would be off the charts?! Nate has incredible creativity in his playing that I think would be a perfect match to Jacob's off-the-wall ideas!
sarbuk interesting take. I would like to see the two together as well now that you mention it. I should say I’m not too picky when it comes to these top artists however. All masters in one way or another
Holy heck this is next level unreal! Love ALL of these musicians. I'm probably a little out of the loop, but I'm especially glad these videos have led me to the magic that is Takeshi Ohbayashi! I'm positively blown away. Thanks Nate and the band, and thanks to everyone at Berklee! Keep 'em coming
Obviously the entire band is phenomenol and the engineering is killer but can we talk about that guitar solo and tones for a moment starting at 16:13?!
This is what it sounds like when the Pocket is kept and everything gels together. No one is over playing anybody. That helps to create a groove you cant help but do the studio neck bounce to!
Looking at the extent of the over hammering, I would guess that it is either a prototype Thin Overhammered, or the Bounce/Thin Overhammered prototype that Zildjian was rolling out around that time. It’s hard to tell considering the main difference between the two is the cluster hammering and bell shape.
🎶Morning and Allison🎶 🤭❤️ my God! The guitarist got some and dat was damn good. After the beauty of the whole show and end on this tune? Just awesome! Nate is off the charts talented #damnthatsnare
I wish I had even halfd the connectin to my instrument that Nate has... not sure I'd want to spend the time he clearly has on it either, so good luck to him. What an artist!
@@m.dave2141 If i'm not too late, here you go : he divides the beat in 5 (quintuplets) instead of the usual 3 (triplets) or 4 (16th notes) and accentuates the first and fourth quintuplets. ONE (two three) FOUR (five) ONE (two three) FOUR (five)... and so on. Good practice !
At the beginning of the video, i noticed the pianist couldn’t catch up with the tempo so nate helped him to get the right tempo. That explains why the pianist was watching nate the whole time. Nothing sounded weird and it was fuckin beautiful.
Nate's musicianship is as inexplicable as the reason why he won't take his jacket off even when sweating like hell.
He is not sweating, that's why
@@tbaernthaler 11:02 yes, he is
He's just warming up.
As a cool cat he doesn't sweat😁
Inscrutable Blackness. I used to study capoeira with a brother who trained every day in a shearling jacket. Capoeira! It's that Black imperative. ✊🏾
Performance is 100/100
Mixing is 150/100
I give the mixing a 155/100 ;)
肯定的啦兄弟👬

I just realized something. I've apparently lost all ability to count. Damn you, Nate Smith!
whew, I honestly started getting a bit paranoid on myself, thought I was going crazy hahahah
Square Wheel, as far as I can tell, is based around a bar of 4/4, and a bar of 7/8. Oh, and ri-di-cu-lous syncopation. Dude's just outrageous.
@@InsaneDrumer18 I can't even feel my leg smh
@@motophiliac thank you 💜
I am very grateful to have these videos, but it would have been Heaven to be there for the experience. This is art. This is culture.
Grip Technique Level = Expert. Just watching Nate's hands around the 2:08 mark and again around 4:10 is a masterclass on grip...
I just saw Nate + Kinfolk this past Sunday night at Monterey Jazz....wow! Guy and his band blew me away! Got to chat afterwards with him back stage. Just a super nice guy...and a killer player!!!!
It gave the bass groove an entirely new meaning when Nate came in at 7:45. A true master.
Hell yeah!
every detail of this is so sublime that it brings a tear to my eye
The talent the recording the mixing. Everything off the charts. And Nates drum set is the best I have ever heard.
I literally have never cried from listening to music being just so good. 😭😭😭😢😢❤️❤️❤️
Can we just take a moment to gush over the green finish on the drum shells?
🎶This entire band is dynamite!! 🎶
My favorite sparkle finish from Ludwig.
Green sparkle..
Nate is amazing..a Superhuman ..but huge applause to that beast of a bassist who can play like a rock and provide such a strong foundation for Nate.
That first song I put it on a loop I can listen to it for hours I love it
YEP! "Retold" is a masterpiece!
Okay this whole group of instrumentalists is excellent!! And Nate's Timing, my goodness!!! Those "cadence" switches were flawless!!!
This mix is so alive, I commented on part 1 but it’s just so incredible - the playing and the mix are just top notch
I have watched so many live performances before, especially drums, but this series is the first that really blew my mind and challenged me.

That brush work makes me want to give up on my entire life
Now i know that Nate is Superman.. His drumming is at a superhuman level.
quelle claque !!
allez un petit mot en français pour montrer que Nate + Kinfolk sont vraiment aimés en FRANCE.
Du soutien les gars pour l'un des tous meilleurs batteurs et ses musiciens !
y'a quand même un sacré groove et un sacré level.
Bravo !
Backbeat is so lazy and is most therapeutic. Kinfolk are hired as my new mental health care providers. God, I love this from the bottom of my heart.
I wish my girlfriend looked at me the way the pianist does at the drummer.
Quentin Verra wish I had a gf....
@@ajperez522 Wish I had a pianist... :)
@@drumstudio2000 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Heh heh hee hee hee!!!!
hahahahhaahhahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa
I love the way he communicates to his band mates.. soo good
Retold, 9/4 fantastic composition, out of this world, pianist solo perfect.
Nate makes me proud to play Zildjian and wear Levi’s.
props to the sewing machine Nate Smith with that POCKET

YES
Jacob Collier and Marcus Gilmore would be better
Now that you've mentioned it,I think that's a great idea!
I'm all out fun and tears whole throughout this performance.
I'm at awe :D
The groove on that third tune is on another level.
WONDERFUL, GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!! Stand up for this Great Leader and Great Team
I take my hat off. What a teamwork, bravo!
There is so much feel, and emotion in this set!!!
We will hear more of Nate Smith in the future - fantastic drummer!
This is just too good. Absolutely musical.
Holy heck this is next level unreal!
Love ALL of these musicians. I'm probably a little out of the loop, but I'm especially glad these videos have led me to the magic that is Takeshi Ohbayashi! I'm positively blown away.
Thanks Nate and the band, and thanks to everyone at Berklee! Keep 'em coming
I’ve never received more satisfaction from a youtube video ever haha
11:02 that was some unreal sweat, it was straight out of a music video the way it sprayed away from the drums haha
Came here because I always see short videos of Nate just soloing.
I wanted to see him playing with a band and wasn't disappointed
really incredible mixing.
Nate Smith is the Ace of Aces!!!
Obviously the entire band is phenomenol and the engineering is killer but can we talk about that guitar solo and tones for a moment starting at 16:13?!
I wish nate had this guitarist in his band kinfolk
Damn. This is the clearest definition of the term: Groove. Cheers From México City Maestr@s!
Nate’s grooves are always so on point..
Incredible! Totally crazy and beautiful !!!
every day checking and forgetting that i thumbs upped it
Lol thumbs upped it...love it
I can feel this ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️.
Such awesome teamwork! They are a very tight band.
THE PUSH-PULL on this man holy shit
got that shit on lockdown
Love how these videos keep coming.
Nate is amazing but what a band he brings with him. They all sound dope!
This is so incredible!!!! What an intergalactic band! :)
top top top contemporary AND enjoyable jazz..... thank you Nate your drumming inspires me every day
#Retold so beautiful! Moved me 2 tears🔥🔥🔥✨💜✨
This is what it sounds like when the Pocket is kept and everything gels together. No one is over playing anybody. That helps to create a groove you cant help but do the studio neck bounce to!
The non-verbal communication in this mfk is sensational.
Props to the engineers sounds great
what time are you playing?
Jimmy Gómez Guitar. Not sure which one is correct it is either 9/4 or a bar of 1/4 followed by a bar of 1/5 most likely the latter
I’m not in the band though only in my dreams
I play piano, drums, and bass
@James Camil... I'm not sure, but for me seams 1 bar of 4/4 and 1 bar of 7/8. What do you think about this?
Man, that piano. Excellent work.
深深着迷！！太好听了
This is pure fire!
Nice harmonic/textural/timbral subtleties in that first track.
Those cymbals sound so perfect I suppose they're not real
Its all triggers!! Everything is triggers! /s
...first you must realize that there is no cymbal.
Love and admiration! Bravo!
Nate Smith es un músico al servicio de la música.
Una reliquia viviente.
My word, peaceful spirt there. Outrageous.
I must have that ride cymbal
Nate Smith: No. This is *my* cymbal. There are many cymbals like it. But this one is mine.
Agreed. It might be the perfect sound. Especially the crash... shame it's a prototype according to the captions above. :(
@@dave_sanderson it's a 22" constantinople ride from what I've gathered- closest relative to it would be a renaissance maybe?

Beautiful ! Nice !
I cant get over how great that Ludwig classic maple kit sounds..
Great music here on every level. Really nice work Nate (AKA The human metronome) = )
Amazing 👌🏾💯
🎶Morning and Allison🎶 🤭❤️ my God! The guitarist got some and dat was damn good. After the beauty of the whole show and end on this tune? Just awesome! Nate is off the charts talented #damnthatsnare
do you know where I can find the song square wheel?
8:01 ... The moment everyone realizes there's an invisible metronome on the stage. Awesome.
Retold great great great
Lovely Tune. Talents!
와우 진짜 네이트스미스 화나요 ㅠㅠㅠ 드럼을 왜이리 잘 치세요!!!!!!!!!!!!! 부럽다..
Randy, you sound great! 👏🏾
If you not like this video so you are dal this video is rising star for me
I wish I had even halfd the connectin to my instrument that Nate has... not sure I'd want to spend the time he clearly has on it either, so good luck to him. What an artist!
17:30 how is it possible to sound like a skipping tape in real life on purpose
thats insane, do you have any idea how he does that, im trying to learn it?
@@m.dave2141 just twitch lmaoa
thanks whoever liked my comment you brought me back to this gold bop

@@beaudereck3122 thanks im gonna try that
That guitar player is feeling it>
Great performance!
dude that crash sound is something
U got the crowd all pumped up Nate 💪💪
please credit the sound engineer, they did a fantastic job.
"Retold" Shit makes me cry...
I Love You Nate Smith
Fantastic band!
At the beginning of the video, i noticed the pianist couldn’t catch up with the tempo so nate helped him to get the right tempo. That explains why the pianist was watching nate the whole time. Nothing sounded weird and it was fuckin beautiful.
This is the worst death metal band ever
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nate's metal band is called Killfolk
Funny that Nate recorded Ambush with the Fearless Flyers recently.
Why is this so funny :D
idk, that off timing is pretty brutal
MARAVILHOSO o som dos pratos
Beautiful man.
2:08 that ride omg
Genius drummer. Why have my ears not heard of Mr Smith before?
Never thought brushing could be this interesting
Has anyone heard Steve Gadd comment on Nate? I would love to see him listening to this.
Fantastic musicians amazing chemistry
4:59 fuuuuuuuccckkkkkkk this is so good
Sax 10/10
Phenomenal😎
Meu sonho e ter uma bateria dessa 😭 parabéns a vcs músicos
