Buy Here: Steve Smith’s History of the US Beat

In disc one of this 2-disc set, Steve explains hand and foot technique in ground-breaking detail and gets to the core of what drummers need to know in order to improve their feel and technical skills. In disc two, using examples by an all-star band, Steve explains the evolution of the drumset in U.S. Music — how the drumset was first used in all the major styles of U.S. Music and how closely related all the styles are. Special features include extensive bonus footage including alternate-take drum solos, a brilliant hi hat solo with a hi hat tutorial, alternate band takes, a multi-angle video option, running audio commentary by Steve, a music listening list, and lots more.
