HEY! Journey ROCKED!

Never heard of Steve Smith?! EEeeesh.

Anyway, I consider Steve one of the greatest drummers. Ive grown up with his playing and still amazed at his touch. Met him a few times at NAMM, swell dude, always positive and energetic!

I recently caught a glimpse of a DVD were Steve played two or three separate time signatures. It was like he was two or three drummers in one...AT ONCE.

It was unbelievable. I have to ask him next time how one even achieves that level of independance.

He was doing drum solos over a steady hihat time...it was just amazing.

Escape is a fabulous performance, because of his feel and just touch at the right times. I love that one. See him live whatever you do.
