HI MIKE!!! Im right now listening to suffocation live 2005 on my ears I Hope you will come bac with suffo becose ……………………….. But luky me Ive got 4 SUFFOCATION Live performances on my personal minidisc so I love my self an a alf Thank you to listen to my kataklysm drum solo Your my def metal drum teacher !!! !!!
Uhhh, actually? 🤔 There WERE a few others that WERE DOING THAT, dude 🥁. Maybe NOT the straight on, 1on 1 matching "SUFFO Blasts" as Mike Smith DID kinda help create THAT, IF THAT'S what "that guy behind the console" might be, referring to…Sure.. But yeah, Nawww guy , Lol…Mike and Suffocation are GREAT but, yeah….Can you say Pete COMMANDO Sandoval, Steve Asheim, Lee Harrison, Alex Marquez and??? The LIST actually CAN and DOES , go ON…Oh and yeah?, FAWK Syster of a Clown 🤡 THAT crap IS BEYOND unlistenable tripe. ROCK the funk ON 😎🤘🔥🤘
Used this as inspiration when i first started drumming and had multiple drummers tell me how good my blast beats are after so many shows and i would always refer them to Mr Mike Smith
He didnt invent the blastbeat obv, but maybe he brought it to the hammer blast tecnique Love this guy, theres plenty of drummers in the DM scene (eg culross) but mike was one of the prime movers in the brutal death genre

Not to sound racist or anything but I have never seen an African-American person in a metal band
Let’s be honest, SOAD blasting was amazing for a band that got a lot of mainstream success
I think because he is left handed? His arms don't cross over allowing both arms to be
Parallel which allows his chest muscles to follow through….
Oh yes good old System of a Down
He can't blast consistently. That's how he switched.

LEGEND
That right blast is as if the snare owes him money. Love it!
Seeing this video like 12 years ago, I have thought about it a lot that whole time, it is one of the foundational standards to which I hold my effort
Effigy of the forgotten, 1991. This album is perfect. The band was so ahead of its time.
Mike smith 🖤
0:18 The innovator of flying finger blastbeat since 1991
after this guy left suffocation, their drumming got generic and forgettable… the drumming returned to point only in their newest album
