Solo Steve Smith

[welderrules]

Mattalica sucks cock

[rambogangsta44]

@welderrules so does your mom

[vintagebmx81]

it would be awesome to see him do a journey revival tour

[alloneword154]

Anybody notice his snare is slanted a little towards his bass drum?

[TheFondler]

@alloneword154 - yeah, people do that when they play traditional to allow for contact with the rim on the left hand.

[uomotigre100]

Simply the best.....magic***.........look the my video inspired by steve smit at uomotigre100.....and comment thanks :)

bye people!!!

[Crazyegg1234]

Holy shit, Howie Mandell is freaking amazing at drums!

[mrTooKanSam]

My name is Lars Ulrich, I specialize in simple rock beats, mediocre double bass and when I solo I hit everything as fast as I can.

[hurtztwopee]

@mrTooKanSam The funny thing is that Lars cant even play fast and he cant even use a double bass pedal properly. Metallica blows and is full of shitty musicians.

[TheFondler]

@hurtztwopee not true, metallica rules and is full of shitty musicians, that's what makes (or made, rather) them so magical.

[vicarious189]

@mrTooKanSam

and of course steve smith tries to play as slow as he can. o_O

[stevendixon1985]

lars is totally NOT faster than Steve smith. Maybe this video, but I've seen others where he is going warp speed...double bass included

[beatlejim64]

Excellent!!!

[dwilmer7]

Lars is faster.

[nigeldaddyo]

@dwilmer7 lars is faster? that may be about all he has over ss. and maybe not at all.

[lildondon29]

@nigeldaddyo I'm not sure if you mean feet or hands or both, whichever it is there is no way Lars is faster than Steve Smith. Not that being fast proves anything, other than being fast itself.

[Sublemon7]

@dwilmer7 lol lars is a good drummer for metallica thats about it...watch a lars solo...most unmusical shit ive seen im my life.

[perfectmelon]

@dwilmer7 Does it really matter who is faster? Musc is not a freakin' competition!!! BTW if you say that Lars Ulrich is better drummer than Steve Smith that means you definitely don't know too much about drumming.

[acvillator]

This guy was the drummer for Journey during their hayday! He kicks ass!

[keyrat87]

he's possessed!

[SINCOPATION21]

sweeeeet

[cheesesteak93]

is it me or does he play alot like buddy rich? just amazing

[porzi3]

ya, i agree... and doesnt he sort of look like howie mandel from deal or no deal in this video?! hahaha

[MrPelicanPants]

It's not just you. This solo is actually a tribute to Buddy and he plays it quite often.

[cheesesteak93]

yeah i thought it sounded pretty similar. Its kick-ass that someone is keeping the memory of buddy rich alive and kicking

[MrPelicanPants]

Totally dude.

[ithollywood32]

this guy is WAY fun to watch!!!

[cookieeclipse]

Don't think I've come across a bad comment about this guy yet!

[sabianrox1]

@cookieeclipse how could anyone say anything bad about such a genius?

[baileydrum]

@cookieeclipse think yad have to make one up!!! then it would just be a lie!! this guys a total inspiration and hes got more meat and potatoes to back his flashy playing than than most of the notorius bean and butter drummers on the market today!!

[giosmrbig]

o my gooodd steveeeeeeeeeeee !!!! it's too much !!! soo great !!

[timbohoagie]

i played with this guy at my high school in percussion ensemble. one of the finest drummers of all time.

[Legokink1]

[mceric]

[MRCJCOLLINS]

MONSTER, so fluid & clean. yes, even w/ the drop. just an inspiration. MONSTER.

[raztuss]

Steve" Machine Gun" Smith, Journey's sound to the music.

[takman]

at 2:23 he drops a stick...but even buddy rich made mistakes. Great solo.

[zildjianate]

so he was Journey's drummer?

He's pretty dang good.

[cgmsdh]

Yes, he was their drummer.

But he was WAAAAAAAYYYY above them.

[MahavishnuOrchestra1]

same thing with randy!!!

[BigAddz2k7]

then why come on this vid to say tht

[detulid]

well then i'll be as bold as to say that drumming isn't for you. because this is how they're played proper, man. maybe the flute or clarinet is more your taste?

[epicfails614]

if you think his solos with journey were good...

[akisspyros]

great

[Nicosks]

very good

[ericbecht]

Great vid on one of the all-time greats!
