It's amazing how well the metronome follows him.

Nate feels the groove in places I don't even have.

[annonchan]

I love his drumming, sound and his fashion sense. Very cool.

[earthlandingfake]

literally one of the best to ever sit behind the kit. levels of control beyond most human comprehension.

[jre]

Been setting my clocks to him for years now.

[gregjacksun]

I watch this video a lot. This is an inspiration in musicality and performance art.

[asimnicholsmusic]

The drumming obviously speaks for itself. I also love the set. Very cool aesthetics.

I see Nate as this rotating, floating head that is orbiting a pulse that travels along a horizontal line. He circles around the pulse and sometimes the elliptical shape of the orbit means that he reaches out to touch the pulse, but it's always within reach. Then as the circle continues on, he is sometimes right on top of the pulse, in sync. And he has the ability to jump across the orbit at anytime, but he always falls somewhere on the orbit. Yes, this is trippy. Yes, it is primal. Yes it is Nate taking us for a glorious ride. Thanks for the visuals, Nate! Beautiful work as always.

I am very fortunate in that I've seen Nate Smith play live and it's as amazing as one might imagine. I need to see him again!

[michaelfaeth]

Expert execution on the groove. Those larger hi-hats sound great, too.

[thrashtoad]

This made me twitch and go "oooh" like I just bit into a lemon SO MANY TIMES. Incredible.

My wife thought the metronome blips were changing. I told her that they weren't changing, and the look on her face was priceless.

This man warps time and rhythm like no other

[JonSudano]

Nate Smith isnt in the pocket, he IS the pocket

[Aaron-delq]

Favorite part is the high-hat ending the phrase at 2:18, brushing it off like sweeping off a countertop.

[OkImJustCommenting]

Sat here bobbing my head the whole entire time!!

[brian]

What a great surprise - had no idea a second Pocket Change volume was happening!

[enriquesosaoficial]

[criticalthinker]

Amazing timing and creativity...Go Nate!

[DastardlyInfallible]

The groove so tasty, and the fashion on point. Those glasses are killer.
