He’s one of the best drummers. Would love to see him back in Suffocation again. It’s not the same without him.
Did he quit? Totally agree, Mike is one of the absolute best.🤘
I dig the newer material but Mikes work along with the previous members is hard to top
@@sethputnamsghost He left Suffocation in 1994, then returned in 2003 and left again in 2012.
So, yeah. He left the band for the first time almost 30 years ago.😁
I think Eric Morotti is doing a pretty good job! Mike is amazing tho!
I think the man is a legend but I’ll still go see a suffocation show any day of the week and I dont give a fuck if it’s a work day; suffocation shows are a party! I have few shows that can compete with what I’ve seen suffocation continue to do! You can’t beat the people that have worked with that band or tour with them, honestly, just total talent!
I love this guy , Mike is not only one of the true innovators of true death metal (along with cats like Pete Sandoval , Gene hoglin and Paul from Cannibal corpse just to name a few) and he is also a very intelligent and interesting man to listen to play and talk
Josh Pelton paul is fucking joke
Cannibal Corpse created Grindcore they weren't one of the originators of Death Metal. DEATH and SUFFOCATION were the first bands to start doing it. Morbid Angel came like a year after these 2.
@@keithgraham8588 bro you could not be more wrong about cannibal and grindcore.
@@keithgraham8588 Cannibal corpse created grindcore? WHAT
@@keithgraham8588 Repulsion and Terrorizer created grindcore, Napalm Death popularized it. Couple years before Cannibal Corpse was even formed, dude...
Mike Smith is one of the best drummers in Death Metal history. Much praise and support from Andrew Apollyon former Blaspherian vocalist TXDM 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I have a huge respect for this guy. SALUTE!
So do I ... blast beat :-)
You ARE NOT the only ones...hands down Mike's a BEAST....
Mike Smith is a great drummer! Very nice guy as well, I wish him a great future!
I agree! I wish he returned back "Suffocation!"
Tons of great drummers out there but Mike Smith just cannot be topped. Always thought so. Just a machine with blasts and breakdowns.
The most under appreciated drummer in Death/ OG Tech/ Grind.
He invented that slam type drumming back in the early 90s that a lot of bands nowadays in the deathcore and slam genre love to do lol
I used to take drum lessons from him. Dude was the coolest guy ever. Used to stay later than I was supposed to just so we could talk about his whole career!
True legend!
Hail the mighty Mike Smith!
This man, knows hes a bad ass, he knows hes an innovator, hes seen the world. But what an honest soul, a humble, approachable human being. One of the many positive attributes that makes hime great
Absolute legend, the original blast master
You know when you see something and you think that looks easy to do, till you try it? Mike's drumming looks hard till you try it, then it's impossible! The best Artist/drummer out there.
Your opinion.
+Pete Patsa he's saying that he's the best drummer as if it's a fact. That's why I said "your opinion".
+Robert Kithcart no, it's a fact that it's your opinion. Not my opinion.
+Aaron Duckett Comments are opinions. There are no facts. Your response should be who you think is the best drummer out there. This way comparisons or similarities can be discussed. I my opinion on the 1000 of so drummers that I've heard Mike Smith is THE BEST ARTIST/DRUMMER OUT THERE! Do you have a fact on a drummer....... NO YOU DON'T
+Pete Patsa my favorite drummers are Gene Hoglan, Sean Reinert, and Richard Christy. They all know dynamics, taste, grooves, ghost notes, and polyrhythms. I've never really appreciated drummers who literally only do fast shit. I'm not saying that's what mike does, because he's great, I'm just saying I'd be more impressed if he would incorporate more dynamics into his drumming.
So stoked to be apart of this project! everyone killed it!! MIKESMITHISTHETRUTH!
one of the best drummers ever
By far the most underrated. You get people thinking Lars is amazing....... Smh.
2021 and I'm still watch this!!
First song?
One of the best death metal drummers ever!!
Mike Smith is definitely one of my huge influences as being a drummer myself. Suffocation pierced from within was the first death metal album I’ve listened to and i still love it to this day! Such a nice guy and a tank of a drummer!😈💥🤘
Mike wasn't in the band when they did Pierced. Doug Bohn played on that record. Seeing their live performances after they reunited you can see how incredible the songs from that album sound with Mike behind the kit
Dude, I didnt know Mike wasnt on PIERCED for a while as well! Lol.
I was just watching this thinking " Pierced was cool as hell, too bad Mike wasnt on it..." and then I saw your comment.
Suffocation has had great drummers, but Mike Smith is the best.
@@saltpeter7429 skill-wise I would say it's Dave Culross. But for Suffo's style I can't argue that Mike's style fits the best
Came here for music, stayed for the sermon of profound wisdom, didn't expect it, appreciated it!
This reminds me to the old Wretched and their first album "The Exodus Of An Autonomy" which is great cause it's one of the best albums I've heard in my life. I want to listen the whole thing asap. Amazing work.
Joder rene no sabia que te gustaba Mike Smith y Suffocation 👌
I always had mad respect for Mike Smith. He's the real deal for sure.
I wish Mike was my drum teacher
❤the best drummer all the time
Very Approachable and brilliant person. Would like to hear Mike Smith, Doug Cerrito, Eric Rutan and Chris do a album,
Watching this during black history month, go Mike Smith
Man he killin it on them drums 🔥
One of my favorite drummers. I love his podcast too
So sick. I love Mikes feel on this track, and other stuff he’s played on.
Always back here to watch this.
Great drumming, all the respect!
I played live with Mike and Suffocation in Los Angeles at L.A. Patriotic Hall when I was younger. Great show. Beast then, beast now.
met your sister mike, working with her down here in Florida... Big shot out, I am and have been a fan for years, your sister brought me here and can't believe I have the unique experience of training and working with one of your family members man, big damn deal entering the hall of fame and loving this vid. peace
One of the best no doubt ...... I've seen them live and his drumming stood out more then most !!!!!
Mike Smith is the best drummer period ! no one can fuck with mike smith
hell...yeaaaa!!! "MIKE SMITH"!! NEW YORKS FINEST! !!!!
Mike Smith is an amazing drummer. A really talented metal drummer.
I really dig this guy. Such an elegant, yet powerful way of playing drums, and he's eloquent in explaining his train of thought.
One of my.first favorite drummers
do you know the name of this song?
Mike is a Legend . He created the Hammer blast, he is also very groovy ! Some say the hammer blast is a Cannibal Corpse thing , I think it’s a Mike Smith thing ! Mikes thing is keeping a powerful snare with his blast beats instead of letting the double bass over power it !
Mike Smith inspires me
Like many I guess I saw him on roadrunner Utd. He seems like a really chill dude and really nice. His drumming speaks for itself.
Damn, what a masterpiece ! Love it, especially the drums..
Thanks Mike...I've looked up to you and your drumming for mad long and i never got a chance to be in a band that got me on stage...but all the studying and analyzing i did kept me motivated and true to the craft and now i make a living teaching drums so ill never sweat that fact my projects never worked out....I've been rockin the stage of education for 10 years and that shit is priceless...cheers
Mike inspired me to move my ride cymbal to the left side, it's back to the other side now but that was really helpful for making my left arm get its act together so I was a better player overall.
Mike's tone and ability is amazing..
Yes. Thx for upload. Mike is that dude. Suffocation is amazing still
2022 still feeling this great man
Love Mike Smith. So clean and precise without ever sounding sterile.
He is the man!!!
Tight . I love Mike smiths signature UNset blast
I've always been more of an Immolation guy when it comes to NYDM but I can't deny this dude is a monster.
Amazing 🙌🙌🙌
Mike is one of my favorite musicians
Mike should seriously consider writing a book about his experience in the music biz. I like how he tends to analyze things and come up with patterns.
Mike Smith is fucking amazing! So fun to watch!!! 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
This is Awesome 🤘🤘🤘
The awesomeness contained in this video is on a ridiculous level. Can't stop watching
I keep repeat watching this.. Iuv this very much..
Love the last line about never being off stage. So true.
this is were i get my influence from since i was 15
Thats beautiful man share & grow at 50 musically still want to get out my own opus! So much i want to share and get off my chest!
The best of the best.
This drum arrangement is just genius. Mike Smith is a god.
He is ok and all but he is no mike smith.
Got 2 of his drum stick from the Suffocation era and will always remember those stage time,Sick af!!!🖖✌️🤌👌
Fuckin boss. Blows the mind
Hail from greece.Kickass drumming Mike!
LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wish all musicians thought like this, bless up mikey!!
Great man, and i think he's a humble.
I wanted Mike to have come to Japan as a member of "Suffocation" in 2019 ... I watched the live of "Suffocation," but I'm sorry for Mike's not having come to Japan.
there's no lacking confidence, that's for sure. I respect his musicianship for sure, and I have no problems with him taking the credit or recognition for being great--he's totally earned it
you go man,, you play that kit like a beast,,
dude is awesome!
The innovator of Blast and Tim Howley, two of Long Island's finest.
AMAZING
Mike Smith is the truth.
would be very excited if this outfit put out an album or two! in an instrumental form or accompanied by a worthy vocalist!!
Very tight playing all around, but Mike Smith is simply amazing .
Great video!! Love the footage!! Mike Rules on drums!!
WOW, great drumming, how is it I just now found this?
Mike Smith is a boss....a true entrepreneur of death metal drumming!!
Master of all! Master Smith!
Love this!!!!
Best all around Metal drummer of all time
Greatest drummer in Death Metal.
Mike you're a great drummer, I appreciate your brutal stuff more than this but you do what you want. I've never been a metal fan besides brutal or grind metal bands, but owe to you so many nights of hanging out and listening to Suffocation.
Respect the best by far
This dude is INSANE!!
do you know the name of this song?
Is this an existing song? It’s soooo good! 🖤
2:50 holy shit is that heel down? crazy
Good catch!
I heard Dave Lombardo plays bass heels down, too. I do too, but I am NOWHERE in the same league as those dudes.
mike higgins Dave definitely does NOT play heel down, watch some drum cams of him.
I got that from an interview he did, that I read. I have seen Slayer, (sadly not w Dave,) But I DID see Grip Inc., but couldn't see his feet from the floor. I will have to say, I am second guessing what I read.....I don't like to pass misinformation. T/Y...Mike H.
Bob Mac Drummers like these prob are able to employ both techniques. I was able to play better blast beats when I was able to alternate hands on the snare/ride snare/high hat. being ambidextrous helps.
Very nice drum work!
sad I heard this for the first time today and not sooner... killer stuff!
Very good piece!
You are AWESOME mike!!!! Keep bashing it out brother! :) \m/
Wise words wise man...legend
the King of the double bass blast beat!!!!
Mike Smith........ he's just right 👍
I'd totally buy any album you guys put out this is amazing
Miss this guy ( Mike smith ) ..
Well... If you need me to say it... YOU ARE ACCOMPLISHED, my friend. My point is: If another band can "cover" it? Well, then it ain't good enough. Actually, I dunno what the hell I'm talking about. All I know is you got skills, Mister Smith. You play the way I wish I could play. Period. BRAVO!
Mike Smith is a great drummer!
Bravo, ja sam muzicar i mogu reci da ovo ima dusu.
Heavy metal of death🤘
Mike Smith & crew is the Awesome!
