Loading ...Steve Smith: Legendary Drummer of ‘Journey’

Today I discovered a drummer I had never seen before and was mighty impressed by his incredible drumming ability. His name is Steve Smith.
Steve Smith became famous for being in the successful rock band called Journey, back in the 1980s. Journey had several successful albums including the immensely popular “Escape” and “Frontiers“, both which had their own Top 40 Hits. With his inventive timekeeping and massive tom-toms, there’s no doubt Steve Smith’s ability helped drive Journey to success.

This trend was seen especially among heavy metal and hard rock drummers such as Van Halen, Neil Peart, and Simon Phillips and I suppose even Phil Collins from Genesis was up there.
