Thank you for this moment, Nate. It’s a profound meditation on Aaron’s legacy. Our hearts are missing that beat

[dominikn]

Even though this piece was recorded when Aaron was still with us, it somehow captures what a special musician - what a special person - he was. So much depth, so much honesty, so much passion. Rest in peace, Aaron.

Perfect algorhythms.

Highly happy, or as some would say - proud, to be living in the same era this exact piece was recorded.

[jeremyfoster]

As always, great stuff. Of course never even so much as got to hear Aaron live, but he seemed like one of the best people on the planet. Condolences to you and all his friends and family that feel his loss more than I ever will. Great tribute.

Nate you’re a wonderful drummer, thanks for the inspiration! I’m 60, playing for over 50 years, I often find mice elf back at your vids digging what you do

[SOAMLE]

You are a phenomenal drummer with an incredible feel. Love listening to you play. Amazing production on this.

[scottwebber]

Beautiful. Thank you. Now I see I need to work on dynamics with my left foot. 😮

[morganneher]

Aaron was always back there smiling, what great human energy ❤️

[losingsighthxc]

[alexsandunga]

Listening to you play the drums is like taking a journey into the unconscious.

RIP to Aaron Spears and Shaun Martin. Crazy they're both gone in the same year.

Que Groove!!!

sem palavras...

O que resume Nate Smith, é sendo Rei e a lenda do Groove!!!!

[SturleyArt]

Every video leaves me more inspired than the last.

[wheatthicks]

Very happy to see a video for this track 🙏

[BrunoOliveira-esmp]

Young drummers of today are so into linear fills and chops, they should come here and see what is real drumming... Nate is a groove master, so tastefull, so simple and yet extremely complex

[douglasvinicius]

como que eu nunca tinha visto isso antes? Nó Ana parabéns vei na moral, que trem lindo so

[Jervelle]

VA All Day!!!!

Good stuff Bro 💪🏾💙💪🏾

[blakewalters]

This is literally how I hope drum solos will be played, rather than the conventional "only speed, and double bass" being thrown at it. But then again, this is just pure amazing.
