NATE SMITH: "HEAVYWEIGHT"

[@JonSudano]

Crispier than an autumn afternoon

[@09denzelmvp]

Geeeez 😎

[@rhythmfield]

Deep

[@fuzzjohn]

Nate Smith doesn't listen to click tracks, click tracks listen to him.

[@eugenestrader1891]

Now that was a real cool statement!

[@Intenzity]

As a bass player...thank you lord, oh thank you. Looping this and pretending I got to play with Nate Smith.

[@jongreenhalgh]

As a drummer that just played bass to this for an hour I concur :)

[@majstermajsterek1493]

I cannot hit like button cause it has 69 likes. But i Like it.

[@abeplaut5655]

Do some of the same with Nate’s albums Pocket Change!

[@PoopsieSquirtle]

You got two full albums of just Nates drums on Pocket change I and II

[@emberarc]

That was my first thought immediately I heard the first few chops.

[@sixmike]

love how Nate leans into the study and dissection of fundamental grooves. he's politely showing you different elements to check out in this unassuming beat; it's like really looking at a leaf at all angles. man's in his Piet Mondrian De Stijl bag

[@rhythmfield]

I was with this till the Mondrian thing …

[@professormudd]

That is the kind of groove that makes you feel cool just listening to it. I am not cool, but I felt cool for about 3 1/2 minutes.

[@dpclerks09]

A Masterclass in timbre, tone, groove, dynamics, pocket, damn near everything, and he makes it look so easy. Maestro! 🙏🙌

[@erikl6988]

Groove is so heavy I felt like shitting my pants

[@marceloichimura]

LOL😂

[@beachthor1]

I already did

[@201_ace]

Someone shit my pants 🥸

[@dedompler]

Jarvis, unshit my pants

[@josephmorales1995]

I see you, dog.

[@FlowieFX]

I loved that part of silence after that amazing fill

[@JB-xd9dr]

Agree. Silence is the missing magic ingredient for many musicians. Sting is a master of using it.

[@hp2823]

That is flutter lick is taken from steve gadd, gotta love his influences

[@williamlamy]

Nate Smith plays a whole band's music in his drum track alone

[@hanbo123]

I have so much respect for drummers like Nate who can turn simple into miraculous while making it look effortless

[@davidhamilton7780]

Phat! I obviously missed the ceremony where Bernard Purdey passed the torch to Nate

[@danielb8697]

Facts

[@jeremylarue4503]

No ceremony, Nate just took it.

[@junebugsmithington]

I think Steve Jordan's still holding a part of that torch too

[@marvinbell7007]

Dude is kicking with just a snare, floor tom, and bass drum. Awesome groove!

[@justinplamon4648]

Dude does more with a three piece than KFC could ever dream of.

[@neiramos2]

the silence is the power! amazing groove

[@steinhalvorsen_]

Love this!! Already looking forward to Pocket Change 3, 4, 5...!

[@avocadochoe]

That kick mix is phenomenal… it hits with just the right sub-bass and decay I can feel the whomp even with my airpods

[@Sol_Weird]

Damn, those beats just beat my mind from my body right into an ocean of funkotronic groove-fried imaginary bass and riff ideas, all coming from his set.

[@SturleyArt]

I'm always SO inspired watching you play. I wanna rush back to my kit now!!!

[@darumaleo]

music is a travel, when a musician is playing his traveling in his head through the rhythm

[@northernclicker]

Hey that’s good 👍🏽

[@gregoryjohnson4319]

Walking into work listening to this, DAYUM, I nearly walked out my Prosthetic 🦿😂 My two step is Always on the One!!!

[@evilhubert]

This snare is such a beautiful instrument ❤

[@dominikn19]

What a beautiful piece, Maestro. That right hand at 2:55 is GOLD.

[@antbell_313_abmg]

Lovin' the mic placements! Drums r Rockin'!

[@thomasroyer7284]

"how many ghost notes do you want? -yes"

[@JasonMcLemore]

It's just as melodic as it is groovy!

[@jongreenhalgh]

I saw you at West Coast Drum Shop. Just played bass to this for a solid hour. Thank you again drummer from another mother :)

[@chrisw3421]

Nate has been at the top of my radar for the past few years. He defines more from less. He's like a drum machine with a soul.

[@Me-zc2lq]

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.

[@aunsarkar]

Nate effortlessly makes it feel wider on the groove; paul jackson would've feasted on this! ❤‍🔥

[@kenyanr1]

That hi-hat makes an interesting tone as it closes. Very cool

[@emmanuelgauthier2470]

14 or 15" Avedis hihats ?

[@markfoster_mkfbass]

Sonically and visually brilliant, as usual ! The video-editing is fabulous. The color theme, from the frames of the glasses to the room itself...and the repeated geometric themes, from the sculpture behind Nate to the arrangement of drum sticks on the floor around the kit seen in the overhead shots...are dope details. Thanks to Nate and his team for another well-crafted serving of the Smith Dopesauce...👍🏽🙏🏽😎😋😉🤗

[@HourglassSessions]

Glad those details didn’t go unnoticed. Thank u, glad u enjoyed our vid 🙏

[@Keychain-]

@@HourglassSessions yall did a bang up job and brought justice to Nate's wicked playing. thanks for the effort and execution!

[@xavierm.9265]

As a bass player, you’re my GOAT! Keep it nasty Sir!

[@Craterbiglarge]

So tight!! Your show in denver with kiefer and cartoons was the best show i've ever seen!

[@krioni86sa]

I could listen to this all day!

[@mr.anderson70]

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

[@MichaelKoellingBass]

I could listen to Nate just play a simple quarter note backbeat on a snare and kick all day. The pocket is so solid every time!

[@dburgin2557]

Genuinely stunned. Absolutely amazing.

[@djcoolcliff]

Brother Nate taught me a long time ago that pocket will get you the gig!! Thanks my brother and for the horn arrangements sir!!!!!!

[@eduardopaz5650]

Always amazing, thanks and congrats

[@LarsGustafsson-j3m]

If I was a drummer , I wish I was in your caliber. Always nice to hear/see you.

[@RockHardwood-py1hy]

That may be the sweetest sounding bass drum I have ever heard.

[@caesardrums]

Love the groove!

[@AndyChamberlainMusic]

that floor tom sounds SO GOOD omg

[@gregedenfield1080]

man, I can listen to this cat "groove" for hours.

[@dpclerks09]

You can basically call it composing. I swear, his beats and loops are masterpieces, often.

[@bassistbrianfranks]

The absolute definition of “in the pocket” 🥰

[@scowlsmcjowls2626]

Proving that groove is more important than anything🎉

[@DevourTheBleak]

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

[@thestrawman15]

Thank you for this. Such a treat

[@scottwebber4394]

Thanks for putting the sticks on the ground. That is what my practice room looks like after an hour. One of these days I’ll figure out how to hold on to the sticks. I think closing my eyes and keeping time with my shoulders doesn’t help.

[@john27397]

Puts a smile on my face

[@AetigmaFacade]

Fills make the thrills grooves pay the bills!

[@MrMostaza14]

this has such Bernard Purdie vibes and I'm all for it!

[@MrJeanGibon]

Thank you ! ❤️

[@leeyatding]

[@ScottGrant22]

Aptly Named! No One will dispute this!
