Steve Smith - Nutville

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

If i could play anything like Steve Smith, "Nutville" would be my Snare's batter head's nickname.

[sniper2073]

Wow.. The years before the "Howie Mandel" look.

[trigger696]

I dunno what hes doing with his bass drum here but its friggen sweet, he keeps the groove flowing with it so well!

[yaksuit]

wobbliest drum riser ever!!

[Southerntreatment]

one of my best inspirations from journey to now lol

[CotymoG]

i keep waiting for the old steve to come out and just blast those drums away. oh well

[lotuf]

steve smith

[bmfn4lf]

gahhhh!!! 5:50 bizarre triplets at a speed like that ahaha...great chart!

[TheApprentice91]

Tough chart. Love playing it though. The drummer at my High School is a beast to be able to keep up with these kinds of players.

[flippaton]

very hard to play this

[63Brummie]

This Trumpet player is an absolute BEAST of a player !! he reminds me of a young FREDDIE HUBBARD... the sound just PINGS from the tip of the horn.. WHOOOAHHH!

[Ladder155]

really due? Get a grip of yourself...this guys is a fucking legend of a drummer, i watched these tapes all time and hes got great time....Steve Smith is the shit

[Taikomaniac]

dude the guy been married and has two adult kids. Gay? i dont know whf you come from but millions in cali speak soft spokenly with some wit so get off the homophobic bullshit and stick to the topicof drumming

[63Brummie]

Well said Buddy... what a total "socket wrench" that guy is..

That's the one thing I really don't like about Youtube...inane comments from people with more bandwidth than brains..

[andrea0931]

he's a great drummer , but he is so gay!!!

[sweetfly66]

@andrea0931 ... personally i have never met a gay drummer ... i am not sure the two are compatible ...i have no basis for that theory .. just a hunch on my part .

[CassolCorp]

@sweetfly66 The drum captain of my HS marching band is gay. I dont like it

[sweetfly66]

@CassolCorp ... why dont you like it ... its not like you have to sleep with him .... whats the big deal

[antibulletdodger101]

true

[JoeJacari]

My cat, Ears, can play drums better than this. My cat grew up in Nutville and he's batty as hell.

I like Steve, he's great, a legend, a gem, a national treasure and stuff, but the audience, hands down, loves Ears' drumming WAY better.

Ears engenders respect, awe, admiration, and a ton of panties being thrown on stage by lovestruck women by the thousands.

Ever hear a 200 bpm Twinkle Doodle executed flawlessly by a cat? Well, Ears does it and Mr. Smith can't thought that.

Real.

[63Brummie]

This cut keeps sticking at 3:17 it's so irritating...

[Timmyboy1717]

wow!! he plays with such ease, and a has an awesome feel. amazing :)

[63Brummie]

Timmyboy1717...

You're so right!

But he should have worn black sneakers though LOL..

I love Smithy his sound is getting better as he gets older too.

[Grooovin1]

Steve looks ten years younger after shaving his head.

[denbatt]

great piece of music, steve did a damn fine job, anyone have a video of buddy playing this number?

[63Brummie]

Now THAT would be something...

I hear that Omar Hakim played this tune at the Scholarship concert too... I'd love to see that as well...

[XDDrummer1]

were learning this song in our high schools jazz band

omgg such a great tune

BUT ITS HARD AS HELL TO PLAY :)

great job loved this video

[drumster37]

How does he play so great while wearing that monkey suit?

Steve kills - period

[SonnyREast]

that is some sick shit

[merrypeary]

Awesome.

[sheldonknowsall]

DAMN!

I would be intimidated to play those tunes too!

Love the shoes lol.

Is that Bob Mintzer on the sax?

[lp4311]

I think it's Steve Marcus.
