Got mine today. It's pretty good, but I've seen and heard better from Steve Smith both playing and sound-wise. Don't get me wrong though. This is great stuff. It's just that there are better performances in the vault somewhere....

Any examples DSOP? Always looking for more SS material [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I also dug yon Mr. Smithers on Tony MacAlpine's Edge of Insanity album [Andy West from the Dregs on bass], a "melodic metal" rock instrumental jam masterpiece. AWA Deen C on Mac's subsequent Maximum Security. Yer typical blazing 80s instrumental gtr stuff. [These were the "pre-Virg/PX daze" [img]wink.gif[/img] ]
OK, so b4 anyone might call me on it, SS does rush a tad-hair during his solo phrasing at the end of [i believe it was] the Witch & the Priest tune. So what of it. [He got that from the Great Tony's Lifetime-Believe It's "Fred" anyways... [img]wink.gif[/img] How come i don't hear any more complaining off in the distance now?!] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img] Like none of us ever rushed at any one time in our lives, ever... [img]wink.gif[/img] [Even Mssr. Weck claims this when he was around 9 or 10 or so...] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Can anybody give me an idea (sticking?) for what he is doing in his solo starting at 3:11?? It is a monster tom, bass and snare roll thingy (technical term). I've heard him do this a fair amount and obviously lots of drummers do variations on it but I've never been able to figure it out...too damn fast.
Any help would be appreciated.
