ABOUT
Robert “Smitty” Smith, located in Charlotte Hall, MD. I specialize in Rock, Blues, Southern rock, classic Rock, Country, R&B, & Jazz Combo music. Whether you’re a band in need of a drummer for all your gigs or just a one night fill in, I’m your guy.
The most energetic and exciting drummers you'll ever see. He truly loves performing in every sense of the word; just wait until you see one of his drum solos. He hits ‘em hard and his groove energizes the band and audiences like no other.
As a youngster his love for drums started with him banging on an empty oatmeal container with two wooden spoons. From marching bands, musical theaters, cruise ships and the club scenes; he has enjoyed laying down grooves with many musicians all over the country and over seas.
Steadily working as a drummer for over 20 years, he has studied and emulated an extremely wide range of drummers and musical styles. He has upgraded to a custom built Opus drum set with a boat-load of bling (cymbals). Just like his favorite drummer “Animal” from the Muppets, he eats, breathes and drinks drums. BEAT DRUMS!!!!!!!!!!!
