A while back, I attended an intimate Steve Smith clinic in Manchester, UK. He was predictably incredible from start to finish. I was also fortunate enough to meet him afterwards, and he was a complete gentleman. Truly one of the greatest drummers, musicians and educators we have.

The first, nearly 48 minute-long lesson, that was so enjoyable I actually looked in its entirety - And then again! You don't hear the terms "phrasing", "melodically", and "rhythmic pulse" that often anymore on instructional videos.

Every time I see him play I have to remind myself: "This is the original drummer for Journey?!". It's almost like he just decided one day, "I wonder what it'd be like to drum for one of the biggest rock bands of the era.... Well that was fun; back to combining every form of rhythm, time, feel & musical styles/genres/cultures from around the world, making them my own, & then passing it all on to the next generation." Thank you Steve.

I firmly believe KZfaq should do away with its dislike button. What does it mean to have 80 dislikes here? Does it add anything positive? No. Does it make anyone believe this video is not really excellent? Hope it does´t. Does it just show there´s 80 people who criticize someone who is giving his best, which, as in this case, is of a very high level? Yes. So it doesn´t have another purpose than giving these haters their space to hate. Pitiful. Steve is a true MASTER. Thanks for sharing all this knowledge!

@davidcipolla4036 2 жыл бұрын
Well originally when Steve was with journey in the beginning he was a good drummer but certainly nowhere near the mastery level he's at now. His drums were set up completely different & his technique was not as refined either. (In his first instructional videos his drums were set up "that" way.) It was until Steve left journey, (and possibly splitting up with the wife, but not 100% sure on that) that he went on a crusade, overhauling everything about his playing/musicianship. I think he may have learned from Freddie Gruber which is what changed his technique, and from a change in technique required him to reconfigure the way the drums were set (to a "properly" set-up kit). B/c the old set up was not compatible with the newly technique. I.e. snare drum height/angle as well as how the toms were set up & the cymbals as well, literally the whole kit changed.

Legendary hands. Time, touch and feel out of this world! And Steve Smith's playing is continually evolving. So much great stuff here. The one thing that really struck me is "...stick heights to be related to time." 32:58 ...on one hand it's a common sense understanding from a physics perspective (r = d/t), but I feel like active mindfulness of this relationship is so key to dynamic and musical drumming and could definitely be given more consideration in general--i.e. chops AND musicality.
