i found this ages ago but never posted it up, a few people have probably seen it already but its ****ing class. http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/SteveSmithColl.html

bit weird how he changes bass towards the end

Doctor J

Impressive stuff, the bit where it shows the double bass stuff from behind is where they edited in the second video

OLP

ah that explains it, i've been working on getting vics thumb technique down. nearly there.

Aye, dat be Victor Wooten from Bela Fleck & the Flectones, he's a monster on the bass.

yea seen that years ago i have the full set its about 30 minz long, it starts off as a drum convention and steve invites victor on stage after 10 minz of insane drumming- been studying steve smiths technique for a while now also, that bass players name is victor wudan(cant spell it right), the chap started playing bass when he was 3, you should dl the set i have of them doing an improv for about 30 minutes, vic looks like hes gonna whip his mickey out and beat away over his bass - unreal bass player, that video does him no justice, same for steve smith

Victor is an absolute beast.The reason he changes basses at the end is the second is tuned Tenor.ADGC
