The Iconic Drumming Behind “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” by Steve Smith

He's obviously a great, technical drummer and I enjoyed the walkthrough. On the other hand, his style is so far away from my own that I was slightly annoyed at times. Those annoyances are as follows: 4 on the floor (works on that song, though), two bass drums, more than 3 toms, 2 snare drums, Sonor drum kit (they sound tinny to me), and the constant switching to match grip (mostly because I never learned to use it effectively - french timpani grip all day). It's a tasteful beat, though. Always loved using the bass drum in fills with the toms and doing weird syncopations like he did towards the end. The head bobbing also drove me nuts. Just keep time in your dong metronome like us normal people.
