LOVE how raw the drums sound. Really appreciate them not being over-processed, especially in a video posted by a drum company like Ludwig. They sound phenomenal. I'm actually in the market for a new acoustic kit... sooo.
Marvelous work on the drums with such a 10 step beyond standard drumming style. Truly one of a kind performance. Lets face it, real men play on LUDWIG drums. Your the man Nate!
I love my 6.5x14 COB Supraphonic, and will never get rid of it. But I'm thinking a new 5x14 classic maple will be the next and last snare drum I'll ever need to get..And of course, Mr. Smith is superb as usual.🥁💪🥁
Mr. Nate Smith doesn't get "in the pocket",..Mr. Smith seems to be in possession of about 93+ pockets,..and then some. He definitely runs the gamut! His ghost and grace notes are sweetness. This is awesome,..MORE INSPIRATION! :o)
I’ve used Ludwig since 1968. Shared the stage with Chambers Brothers, Vanilla Fudge, Mitch Ryder, Question Mark and the Mysterians, Grateful Dead and Ludwig is the absolutely top of the line drum set. No other set comes close. Singerland is another favorite of mine. All the others sound like banging on trash cans. Ludwig has a true sound. All my 8 cymbals are ZILDJIANS. I can imagine why anyone would use any other cymbals. It is beyond me. I know several top drummers who gave me the same answers to my question. “ I get them free to use them or I get paid to use them”. Ok, I get it. I was given cymbals from one company to try during a concert in Springfield MA. After the 3rd song I had one of our tech crew take it off the stage.
At first I was like I don t know how you could call that Rambo but then it really picks up and you really get build and creating and really tufted up quite a bit too deadly tine nice drum solo and I love your symbols drum turning and tones excellent

Came for the drums, stayed for the cymbals, especially the hats! Great drums, great cymbals, great drummer, great music!
Nothing but, respect and admiration for this man. It takes dedication to sound like this.

What a fantastic drummer. The "riff" parts makes me crazy!!!
He makes the metric modulations seem so easy! What an incredible musician.
That finish is simultaneously hideous and drop dead gorgeous all at the same time!!!
Wow!!!! I actually teared up on this one
My favorite drummer of the moment. Makes me want Ludwigs...I guess that's kinda the point, ha! He's so creative, totally inspirational.
Never heard this drummer before! He's Amazing! Love the musicality!!
Go down the rabbit hole!
The two Kinfolk albums are amazing. Ultrahang is exceptional as well.
I love him and Jojo Mayer
Come on now! This was just insanity level good!! Standing ovation Nate!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nate can play his drumsticks on the metal toilet paper holder and it will sound like an old zildjian istanbul stamp ride.

@Claes Isacson
Hi dear Claes, now we all need a Ludwig video with Carter McLean
What a way to re-introduce citrus mod! One of my favorite tracks from Nate’s new record too. Bravo, Ludwig
@Nick Costa
Hey Nate is a great incredible versatile drummer, but here we have a great drummer too: Yeah Nick Costa ladies and gentleman 👌
I hear a hint of Jon Theodore's drum grooves from the first TMV albums on the first groove...
My god, Nate, you're killing it!
OMG I hear it too
It makes sense since Nate is from Virginia and John is from the neighboring state of Maryland :D
i literally had the thought and then read your comment. Why is anything associated with TMV always spooky?
This guy!! This music!! This drums!! Just perfect combination..
Ludwigs and Nate hell yes!
Probably my favorite drum kit ever made, Ludwig outdid themselves
So great! So clean! I love this, and his live venue performances are EVEN MORE raw and electrifying!
dang those cymbals are like liquid gold to my ears. tasty.
Just great performance beyond great
So dope... aesthetically everything is unreal
Gorgeous Kit
Nate is the man. I own the same setup (sans the snare drum and in White Marine Pearl) and it does everything you need it to!! Ludwig is the best!!
I just ordered the down beat configuration in vintage blue oyster myself and can’t wait for it to get delivered!! Incredible drums for sure!!!
It's not the drums, it's the drummer. He'd sound good on any comparable kit.
Beautiful Kit and what a monster: Nate Smith!
Shout outs to Nate for an amazing performance and bringing the best out of this already great kit! 🙌 btw, the colors on the kit are mesmerizing!
Mmm damn got a little hint of metal thrown in there. Love it
Love my Ludwigs
AMAZING!! 🥁🥁🤘🏻😎
Top shelf drums and drumming!
Maaaaan I love 20 inch kicks for this reason. Sounds like a cannon!
Great playing and awesome sounding and looking kit.
Ooh! those Ludwigs! And great playing of course.
Awesome! How wonderful that kit sounds.
Nate Smith Kinfolk is must see live experience.
gorgeous kit and setup. wow.
Legend
what a great song ! This person is greatness
lets freakin go Nate !
Top drummer
amazing chaotic groove
That's what maple drums should sound like. Great sound and performance.
God-tier. This is perfection
Just brilliant. Love it 👌
And the sound is sick as f...k . Just love it. I say it again...LOVE IT.

Can’t go wrong with that selection. Tons of mileage you can get out of those both.
That was sick!
Holy WOW awesome

Your avatar tripped me out..you got me
@Stranger
Sorry about that dear Friend. It's a french mâle fly and Shy too .
Wonderful putdown. May I steal that for my own use? 👍🏻🤣
@Alan George Barstow
Yes dear Friend of course :)
Agreed. There is absolutely NOTHING to dislike about this video.
Nate is so damn good
The Drums sound excellent and the Cymbals sounds amazing!, too.
zildjian k constantinople?
@@jamesphillips4246 I believe so.
Also, 15" Kerope hats and looks like the new Staccato ride.
I actually digged the drum sound more than the sound of the cymbals, but that's just me
Just got a transition badge Ludwig in red sparkle, undoubtedly the best set I’ve ever played on, no competition.
Thanks 🙏
DOPE baseline, holy shit!
When the guitar came in.. ehh
I love this style. I’ve been a huge Lounge Lizards fan for a long time
Masterful!
Hell yeah!!!!
Awesome playing and man do those drums sound great!
Beatiful! What I'd like to know is what are Mr Smith's cymbals he's using here?
Def Zildjian
Looks like some 15" kerope hats, and some type of constantinople rides/crashes most likely 21" or 22"
@@markswanmusic Thanks!
@@RockyTop85 Yeppers!
From L to R: 15 Kerope Hi Hats + 22 k Constantinople overhammered thin ride + 21 k custom staccato ride.
Jaleel !! so good!!!!
Everybody likes Nate Smith.

Ya baby!!!
Mix is excellent!
Wow!💯
Beautiful drumming and beautiful track 🖤
M@#$&! Nate Smith! WOOHOO! Killin track. This dude brings smoke. Love him.
I’m surprised there’s not smoke coming off the tips of the sticks.
I thought I saw sparks coming off the tips of the sticks.
i love how he lays into that ride bell
Essas variações de ritmos ficou foda pra caramba!!!
What a surprise!!!
The breakdown at the end 😚👌
GENIO TOTAL !!!!!!!
That's some free jazz there. No Room For Dummies!
Mr. Nate Smith doesn't get "in the pocket",..Mr. Smith seems to be in possession of about 93+ pockets,..and then some.
He definitely runs the gamut!
His ghost and grace notes are sweetness. This is awesome,..MORE INSPIRATION! :o)
Bravo! 👏🏼
Insane !!!
Game changer!
Being a man with the actual surname Rambo, I absolutely approve
holy shit thats awesome! be honest, how many times you slap the shit out of someone just to tell the cops they drew first blood?
@@traindiesel7005 LOL 😆
Great performance! Any bands like this, but with vocals?
Nice! 👍👍
wicked!
Aliens: "we can't comprehend your technology"

Nice comment 🙂.
I'm a Ludwig, Gretsch and sonor drummer.
Zildjian, Paiste and Istanbul are m'y favorites cymbals too
AND!
That transition at 1:02 is automatic jazz face
At first I was like I don t know how you could call that Rambo but then it really picks up and you really get build and creating and really tufted up quite a bit too deadly tine nice drum solo and I love your symbols drum turning and tones excellent
All I can say is DAYUM!!!!!!
Parts of this reminds me of ClownCore. Very cool!
Now that's how you fucking sell drums and cymbals! Haha.
Love Nate..... what a savage
🖐️Is this demo kit available for purchase
This sh!t is bananas!!
can someone please identify the cymbals / hats he's using in this video? zildjan, yes, but which size / models
Tight 🥁👍
If Bowie was still alive, Nate, along with his band, would be his new recording and touring drummer and band...
Does anyone know which Zildjian crash rides those are?
What are brand mics that you are using? Thanks
I too need another floor tom to hold my towels.
Haha! I was just thinking the same thing when I landed on your comment!
wow.
Does anybody know how that bass guitar is tracked? My gawd it’s super deep and has some snarl. Octave pedal?!?! Help
