The Steve Smith Store

Critical Acclaim for Drum Legacy Hi Steve, I wanted to write and tell you that I watched "Standing On the Shoulders of Giants" last week, and was just blown away. No exaggeration -- the playing, and the musicality of your approach, both humbled and inspired me. The entire production is surely one of the very best drumming videos ever made, and I especially loved the group pieces -- which isn't always the case. I was also utterly flabbergasted by the figures you played with alternating hand and foot "stickings" -- so impressive, and so musical.

Congratulations on a well-earned masterpiece. Choice page. Choice page.

As a member of the Miles Davis band for thirteen years, Foster's contribution to Davis' music is articulated by Davis himself in his 1989 autobiography, Miles: The Autobiography, where Davis describes the first time he heard Foster play live in 1972 at the Cellar Club on 95th Street in Manhattan: 'He [Foster] knocked me out because he had such a groove and he would just lay it right in there.
