Crispier than an autumn afternoon
Geeeez 😎
Deep
Nate Smith doesn't listen to click tracks, click tracks listen to him.
As a bass player...thank you lord, oh thank you. Looping this and pretending I got to play with Nate Smith.
As a drummer that just played bass to this for an hour I concur :)
I cannot hit like button cause it has 69 likes. But i Like it.
Do some of the same with Nate’s albums Pocket Change!
You got two full albums of just Nates drums on Pocket change I and II
That was my first thought immediately I heard the first few chops.
Groove is so heavy I felt like shitting my pants
LOL😂
I already did
Someone shit my pants 🥸
Jarvis, unshit my pants
I see you, dog.
A Masterclass in timbre, tone, groove, dynamics, pocket, damn near everything, and he makes it look so easy.
Maestro! 🙏🙌
love how Nate leans into the study and dissection of fundamental grooves. he's politely showing you different elements to check out in this unassuming beat; it's like really looking at a leaf at all angles. man's in his Piet Mondrian De Stijl bag
I was with this till the Mondrian thing …
"how many ghost notes do you want?
-yes"
Phat!
I obviously missed the ceremony where Bernard Purdey passed the torch to Nate
Facts
No ceremony, Nate just took it.
I think Steve Jordan's still holding a part of that torch too
I have so much respect for drummers like Nate who can turn simple into miraculous while making it look effortless
I loved that part of silence after that amazing fill
Agree. Silence is the missing magic ingredient for many musicians. Sting is a master of using it.
That is flutter lick is taken from steve gadd, gotta love his influences
Walking into work listening to this, DAYUM, I nearly walked out my Prosthetic 🦿😂 My two step is Always on the One!!!
Dude is kicking with just a snare, floor tom, and bass drum. Awesome groove!
Dude does more with a three piece than KFC could ever dream of.
the silence is the power! amazing groove
That kick mix is phenomenal… it hits with just the right sub-bass and decay I can feel the whomp even with my airpods
Nate Smith plays a whole band's music in his drum track alone
this has such Bernard Purdie vibes and I'm all for it!
2:15 i shouted OHHHHH alone in my living room
Me too!
"yeah"
Love this!! Already looking forward to Pocket Change 3, 4, 5...!
Nate effortlessly makes it feel wider on the groove; paul jackson would've feasted on this! ❤🔥
This snare is such a beautiful instrument ❤
It's just as melodic as it is groovy!
man, I can listen to this cat "groove" for hours.
You can basically call it composing. I swear, his beats and loops are masterpieces, often.
Nate is the best thing to listen to when you've got drums in the room.
I'm always SO inspired watching you play. I wanna rush back to my kit now!!!
Damn, those beats just beat my mind from my body right into an ocean of funkotronic groove-fried imaginary bass and riff ideas, all coming from his set.
That hi-hat makes an interesting tone as it closes. Very cool
14 or 15" Avedis hihats ?
music is a travel, when a musician is playing his traveling in his head through the rhythm
Proving that groove is more important than anything🎉
The pocket is crazy!!!
As a bass player, you’re my GOAT! Keep it nasty Sir!
That is the kind of groove that makes you feel cool just listening to it. I am not cool, but I felt cool for about 3 1/2 minutes.
Dope!
I could listen to Nate just play a simple quarter note backbeat on a snare and kick all day. The pocket is so solid every time!
that floor tom sounds SO GOOD omg
Fills make the thrills grooves pay the bills!
He travels in short trips, and comes back home just on time! Miraculous! 😀🤟🩵
Seriously who TF is cooler than Nate Smith on the drums? Even as accomplished as he is I still don't think he gets enough attention for how great his drumming is.
Nate has been at the top of my radar for the past few years. He defines more from less. He's like a drum machine with a soul.
The absolute definition of “in the pocket” 🥰
I can hear this guy drumming all day long!
Thumbnail had me so confused. Looked like he was wearing a mask and belonged in slipknot! Killer grooves
the way this man inspires me to be a better drummer is fucking amazing, he makes me believe it's possible to be the grooviest drummer in my city, thanks Nate 😊
Love the groove!
This groove 🔥
Lovin' the mic placements! Drums r Rockin'!
Dope.
Love it, killer groove keeps you on edge if your seat
What a beautiful piece, Maestro. That right hand at 2:55 is GOLD.
Sonically and visually brilliant, as usual ! The video-editing is fabulous. The color theme, from the frames of the glasses to the room itself...and the repeated geometric themes, from the sculpture behind Nate to the arrangement of drum sticks on the floor around the kit seen in the overhead shots...are dope details.
Thanks to Nate and his team for another well-crafted serving of the Smith Dopesauce...👍🏽🙏🏽😎😋😉🤗
Glad those details didn’t go unnoticed. Thank u, glad u enjoyed our vid 🙏
@@HourglassSessions yall did a bang up job and brought justice to Nate's wicked playing. thanks for the effort and execution!
Aptly Named! No One will dispute this!
Absolutely dope!
That snare looks and sounds beautiful
Dope ! 🔥🔥🔥
Groove-licious!
Genuinely stunned. Absolutely amazing.
Brother Nate taught me a long time ago that pocket will get you the gig!! Thanks my brother and for the horn arrangements sir!!!!!!
He taught us to count to 7
Puts a smile on my face
So tight!! Your show in denver with kiefer and cartoons was the best show i've ever seen!
I could listen to this all day!
Thanks for putting the sticks on the ground. That is what my practice room looks like after an hour. One of these days I’ll figure out how to hold on to the sticks. I think closing my eyes and keeping time with my shoulders doesn’t help.
This makes me happy :)
Thats really inspiring, thnx)
Master Groove !!
I saw you at West Coast Drum Shop. Just played bass to this for a solid hour. Thank you again drummer from another mother :)
Gorgeous!
Quiet and tight groove. Love it. just subbed! 🙏
tone heaven
Amazing
Magnifique
Thank you !
❤️
The reason why this sounds so good is also because of the tuning. The kick is tuned to C the snare is E natural and the high hat is C. Very hip hop.
Always amazing, thanks and congrats
Common need to rap on this one.
On a Be II album
The fill at 2:12 is breaking my brain so good
I don't have a drum kit anymore but one day I'm going to play this if it kills me
Fiiire 🔥🔥
love it
What the hell? This is the best thing I ever watched
Deep in the pocket !
I could be frozen as an ice cube in the middle of the north pole, and i still wouldn't be as icy cold as Nate on the kit 🥶
The finest! What is that Zildjian (Swish/china-like) cymbal with the rivets?
Curious to know as well!
Those symbols are so dry I need water, love it!
Thank you for this. Such a treat
My all-time favourite groove.. Slammin’
😮 the timing
Brilliant
🔥
🙌🙌🙌
Tss - tsss 👏🏽🏄🏿♂️
Nate ALWAYS bringing the fire 🔥
High-hat changing notes😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
Please somebody make this a 24 hour loop 🔁🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's just what drums is about....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pocket all day
Great drumtrack you got there... Would be a shame if nobody used that for their tracks. :)
Literally the best pocket I’ve ever fucking heard. I’m jealous. I can’t keep time for shit. But this dude is cleaner than a metronome itself.
I stop everything to watch this man play.
Sooo coool!!!! 👌👌👌
I love the moment where he explains how to play the groove
