Vic Firth: Stories Behind the Sleeves | Nate Smith

[@rossanozanga9581]

SIMPLY THE BEST CONTEMPORARY JAZZ DRUMMER IN THIS WORLD.

[@darodrum]

I can't stop being amazed by his left hand, both on matched and traditional grips. The control he has over accented and non accented notes is simply delightful

[@MrDarkstar620]

Playing march helps a lot. Once I took that attitude for real my left hand started jumpin'. Lol.

[@AdamStachelek]

There's so much music in this man, yet I'm most enthralled by the in time and totally musical choking of the cymbals in his fills. It just grabs me such a fundamental way.

[@rodrigoaquinoofficial]

26:12 Saddely all those masters has left us, but it´s music is for forever.

[@AustinMello]

Give me as much Nate as you can record. He's a treasure.

[@TubeSolePursuit]

This man is clearly a genius.

[@RichardFriendartist]

just saw Nate play for the first time last night on a short IG video. I am not a drummer but I was blown away by his skills and now here I am! haha

[@davidhamilton7780]

By far the best content yet from Vic Firth. Thanks!

[@jeffwaters2470]

You have become maybe top 3 drummers of mine. Your stuff with DJ scratch is beautiful and then your kinfolk album is beautiful. I stopped playing the drums for 25 yrs and over the last 4 of playing again, jon fishman, Dave Dicenso and yourself as made this journey so much fun! Can’t forget billy Mickey and benny and Matt! Neil was reason i ever wanted to pick up the sticks in the 1st place. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

Thanks for the presentations and performances. I remember Dennis Chambers saying he was really into Clyde Stubblefield as well.

[@bloophero]

The warmup exercises were a nice surprise! Fantastically tasteful player, thank you for sharing some insight into your magical style!

[@kellyrogers7066]

I love the bass drum pedal beater used in the 1st tune. Dope!

[@handidrummer]

Let's talk about this flawless left hand technique while in traditional grip shall we. #yeesh

[@jessemoneyhun3621]

Ghost notes at 15:00 sound just like Bone Thugs N Harmony to me

[@BebopBadu]

Let’s gooooo

[@evilhubert]

The star of the show here is the snare, sooo sensitive

[@kevinlaradrummer]

🔥🔥🥁🥁🥁❤

[@rjjr1052]

Endorses Evan’s but still using that good ole powerstroke3 , i see you 👀

[@michaeldeleon1955]

Hi everybody. This is Nate Smith and you're watching Disney Channel.

[@nobit3000]

wtf, anybody noticed how he kind of throws the right stick on the Purdie Shuffle? watch in 25% and you see how he's just holding the stick with his index finger on the ghost note. never seen something like this. love Nate Smith

[@arrigoaxia]

Left hand too is extremely open, as opposed to keeping the stick firmly in the thumb fulcrum. Very interesting approach

[@yakobdrums]

That traditional grip is nasty!!!

[@tommo3378]

Anyone see if he’s got UV1s or UV2s on the snare and toms?

[@VladyslavKL]

[@GT-fx8fd]

Is the 1 dislike from Vater?............

[@florianeppe2999]

Vic Firth you're sweat with "finding the perfect pair". But the fact is that this guy would remain insanely precise even with tree trunks 😂

[@mhp2766]
