Nate Smith w/ Dave Holland Quintet

[mikulasvselicha]

Isnt this Chris Potter's Underground? Nate Smith plays the drums with him, doesn't he?

[axelinof85]

Yeah Nate Smith played with Chris Potter, although don't know if he's playing at the moment

[dvmtb13]

Nate Smith is the drummer for Chris Potter Underground as well as the Dave Holland Quintet, which also includes Chris Potter. This is the DHQ, most obviously noted by the presence of an acoustic bass (CPU has no bass)

@mikulasvselicha no.. this is the Dave Holland Quintet.. and one of the members is Chris Potter.. this was played at my city and I was on that show!! incredible one, of course..

In Sicily we say "sta minkiaaaa!!!!" that can be translated as "He is so fucking amazing".Great Nate bye!

[aninhamus]

Oh my God... he is amazing!!!

[JPismyname]

it doesn't sound like kilson at all, nate has is own approach and sound. this is great! love hes style.

[Jordainio]

I think they do sound a bit similar, the first time I heard prime Directive i thought it was Nate Smith, but I had just seen him with Chris Potter the week before.

[ChrisJefferiesMusic]

I would have to agree. They are definitely different, but they do hit up similar sounding licks at times. I think he has more in common with Billy Kilson than any other drummer. For instance, he doesn't sound anything like Harland or Greg Hutchinson or something.

I went to college (JMU) with Nate. He was a total monster back then too. It was funny--there was Nate....and then the rest of us.

[zebulonprophet]

Nate Smith is a bad man, nuff said. Who else he playn with?

[SamFisher0815]

And you are a moron, nuff said.

[Jordainio]

Hahaha im pretty sure he meant bad in a good way

[SamFisher0815]

Oh I see, excuse me. And no, Kilson and Smith do not sound similar at all. Very different styles, different sets and cymbals and uh ... Nate has no earring. ^^

[christides1]

are you sure this is nate smith? Actually it really sounds like kilson

[axelinof85]

yes I'm sure

[SamFisher0815]

If this is not Nate Smith, I'm gonna give you a hundred million pounds!

[percdann]

[brothaman34]
