      ​@@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 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!

    • @gamehog231
      @gamehog231 9 лет назад

      +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.

    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 !
