[@anthonymartin5662]

Possibly one of the best solos I've ever seen..no fast crap no extreme drumming..it has soul..color..feel amd actually has a heartbeat. Under rated for sure. Bad ass

Still one of the most melodic drummers out there! Technique is insane and always under control. Love it!

[@162534283746]

Always the master. One of the more musical solos I've heard. Beautifully done, man.

Still one of the greatest musicians of all time, Steve has had an amazing impact by giving back so much to the drum community! Thank You Steve and keep on inspiring us all 😮

[@sirfrancisdrake2398]

Wow. I LOVE your playing so much Steve. It’s ever evident you’re a life long learner, you just get better and better. So smooth, so effortless, just solid playing. I appreciate it so much that you share your experiences and knowledge.

[@GSquid92]

[@jumpinjojo]

[@gaetano_pellino]

Great!!! one of my favorite drummers

[@williambeatty7781]

Steve Smith is simple amazing ! I've been a fan for many years and he never fails to amaze me every time I see him play !! Definitely the GOAT !!

[@d.s.2986]

3 Minutes in heaven that would take me 3 decades of training to replay - unbelievably good, as always. Amazing guy, amazing drummer.

[@eldenboy11]

Always amazing! Have always aspired to play with the much skill. I appreciate Steve's discipline, technique and precision.

[@shankapotomousclanker5767]

That was awesome. Speed with technique and showmanship thrown in. Well done Mr. Smith.

[@SaS-Music]

A master of his craft. Got to love Steve Smith.

[@cbarnestorm1]

Steve sir, you are the ultimate percussion maestro! Anyone watching this, needs to focus on 1:21 - 1:25, especially the run at 1:23. Brilliance at mach ten. I think even Billy Cobham would blush. I still have my Modern Drummer with you on the cover back in the late 80's. I've also had the privilege of catching some of your home videos you have been putting out over the last couple of years. I am gratefully inspired by you, because I am remembering that I am still a drummer myself, and only have let it fall by the wayside over the years. I am encouraged to get back into the kit soon. It is an honor to find these posts of yours. Thank you so much for the gift you keep giving all drummers and percussionists by showing us all how it still gets done. Sending good vibrations and well wishes for your continued success for you and yours. And any great wisdom and knowledge and advice are welcome. And I would be your drum roadie anyday. ~CRB Cbarnstorm

My all time #1 drum hero, still at the top of his game. Thanks for all the years of inspiration Steve!!!

[@RedDawg]

Awesome! This was not only a drum solo but also a song in its own right. Steve has been one of my favorite (if not favorite) drummers since I took notice in 1979.

[@diegoalexandrers]

Silence! You are watching a master at work. 👏👏👏

[@MrDarkstar620]

Continually a great inspiration for me. I've finally got the hang of the double pedal. Next level, maybe some years later, I'll have a gong behind me. Thank you for passing on this wisdom and beauty of drumming as always Dr. Steve.

Always good to see you solo Steve. I saw you a couple of times when you toured with Journey. The solos were different then, but I guess we all evolve as drummers. Very very nicely done.

[@richardkinman9268]

The Man!!!!!!

[@timothyj67]

one of the best..metal drummers..you hold nothing

[@vinny142]

I like how you started off keeping a beat. Most drumsolos are just the drummer showing off how many drums they can hit in 1/10th of a second and it turns into a practice session more than a piece of music.
