Some classic Smith playing with fire and chops all over.
Bringing drummers together since 1999

SO much better on TV than computer screen from Youtube.
Smith was insane in every way. His relaxed control, his
patterns, and that epic solo still blows me away 40 years
later. His ideas were so ahead of the times. Then the
drum sound he got (they got)...HUGE...just filled the
entire stadium. Then to go from Journey to Vital Information...
WHAT?...back in the day I thought he was just a great rock drummer.
Who knew this cat had a whole other life in him! Amazing
talent. Young (pre-Freddie) Smith was BEASTMODE.
