An acclaimed American drummer best known for his work with Journey and the jazz fusion group Vital Information. Steve Smith is widely regarded for his exceptional technical control, stylistic versatility, and deep musicality across both rock and jazz contexts.
He has long been associated with Sonor drums, particularly during and after his time with Journey, helping bring global visibility to the brand through arena tours and high-profile recordings. His playing highlights Sonor’s clarity, articulation, and dynamic range, especially in complex musical settings where precision and expression are equally essential.

I love to watch Steve Smith play the drums! Those Vintage series shells sound pretty good as well, even though it's not my tuning. Floor toms sounded great.
