By the looks of the hair do's this looks like it was filmed around the late 80's early 90's. Thats when the eraser do was popular and Steve had hair too. I actually met Steve and he is a great guy. One of the worlds best drummers ever. I'm watching them all!
Marvin 'Smitty' Smith (jay lenos drummer) looks so young
Steve Smith (formerly of Journey) is a great all around drummer who can do platinum record pop rock to jazz. I have played on drum risers like that before, where everything is moving.
They are playing on what is called a drum riser, a platform. The ones they were provided are clearly not very stiff or sturdy. It looks like they are constructed over the orchestra pit with plywood and carpet. They really need to be reinforced with more or larger beams and/or thicker surface. At least they did not fail and fall into the pit.
i fucking love steve smith...saw him in the smallest little jazz hole with dave liebman a few years ago and he absolutely destroyed (figuratively) a sonor jungle kit he rented. i have some clips, should actually post them. Who wants to see em???? huh?huh? Two bits a gander!!!!!
Smith versus Smith. Both these guys are tops.

Nice sneakers and suit combo! Now that's what I can 80's. What's that roll at 1:10? Some sort of flam a diddle diddle??

@Whelouski I would say it is exactly that; it's a paradiddle diddle, just a little closed at the first two 16ths (like a flam).

This is the only time I've seen Steve Smith get smoked on the drums.
Travis Barker would smoke them both. None is better than Barker.

Just my opinion: Those Sonors kill the Pearl kit. In fact, when I first saw this...mmm, about 11 years ago, it inspired me to buy a Sonor kit.
