In 2013, Smith began his innovative artwork built from rhythm. Working with art team SceneFour, the collection featured visuals crafted by fellow drummers—essentially “Rhythm-on-Canvas.”

“I call my collection The Fabric of Rhythm because I feel that this art is a view into the inner workings of the motions I use to make rhythms,” describes Smith. “With drumming, we hear only part of the motions that we make, and because the sticks and hands are generally travelling so fast, we don’t see all the motions being used.”
He explains, “With the process that we used to make this art, you see both the impacts and the spaces between the notes, it’s as if we are looking into the very fabric of the rhythms.”
