The reason why this sounds so good is also because of the tuning. The kick is tuned to C the snare is E natural and the high hat is C. Very hip hop.

The snare is tuned to Eb and the Hi hat is tuned to C. Kick tuned to E natural. Pretty cool.

The snare is Eb and the hi hat is C.

Man, you are out of this world! But I guess I should call it "Practise makes perfect". Very nice to hear what is possible. <3

Literally the best pocket I’ve ever fucking heard. I’m jealous. I can’t keep time for shit. But this dude is cleaner than a metronome itself.

Master Groove !!

What the hell? This is the best thing I ever watched

Nate has his on metronome

Hi, nice groove - I'm a rock drummer so I really can't do what you do; however, I'm interested in knowing, what is that is that layered bent cymbal? Is that custom? Cheers.

Metronome makers use Nate for calibration.

I could post a video of me doing exactly the same and get 3views

This is good music to me as much as a "harmonic" song! It has motion, it has poetry, beautiful

A camera angle exclusive for stank face.

Yummy🎉

NATE THE GREAT ❓️👀👍

Those symbols are so dry I need water, love it!

Absolutely dope!

jesus wept bro 🤦🏾‍♂️🔥🔥

Yussef dayes father !

Disgustingly good

Anyone know if there's a audio release of this whole performance?

Fiiire 🔥🔥

2:11 STEVE GADD FLUTTER LICK ALERT

beaut

Dude is absolutely sick with it 🥁

Yo does anyone know the sticking he plays for the lick at 2:12?? Insane!

So tasty ❤

🔥

Groove-licious!

The Christopher Nolan of drums.

love it

Amazing groove and sound!!! Can anyone tell me the name of the mic on the snare please? I've seen other videos of recordings made in this studio with the same mic and it sounds really good. It doesn't look like anything I've seen on snare mic shootouts.

Pocket master 🔥

inb4 Alistair Taylor drops a banger with this one

Tight, slick, the carry beat is deadly!

04:45 one guy only: it´s no holding me in the chair. I have to dance, even with the odd time signatures.

Love it, killer groove keeps you on edge if your seat

Can’t stop won’t stop Rocafella records ……

OMGoodness!!! Listening to this with my nice headphones vs. Just the device speaker... I can feel that brush stroke lovingly swiping against my soul. Thank you for sharing what you do so well!!!

Nate is the best thing to listen to when you've got drums in the room.

Seriously who TF is cooler than Nate Smith on the drums? Even as accomplished as he is I still don't think he gets enough attention for how great his drumming is.

Nate Smith is a rich player : Simple but complex, technical but musical, subtle but elegant. It's not for everybody because you need an experienced hears to appreciate the level of mastering of this series of dry drumming. But I have good hope even beginners like me who have taste for drumming can get dazzled just by the fluidity, the tone, the groove, the ingenuosity.

Oui! Magnifique le groove!

👑

Obviously couldn't find the right pair of sticks and opted for the brushes

Just beautiful.

Yeah man. Scramble those eggs

God does Nate's playing, Nate's body is just a vessel for the magic he creates. I only screw around playing drums but when I see him play with only a snare, a tom and bass drum and a few cymbals, you realize it has nothing to do with equipment and everything to do with the player.

Max Roach vibes Nate 🔥
