Probably the most famous of the Czech drummers of his generation, Štěpán Smetáček, grew up in a highly musical environment, and for a significant part of his childhood he only knew classical music and jazz. However, the encounter with rock and heavy metal represented a shock for him that completely changed his life. He also talked about this in the next On Air, where, among other things, he recalled his beginnings with the group Řetěz and his first engagement with Arakain. Of course, talk also reached about his playing with Wanastový Vjec, Krausberry, Lenka Dusilová or the group Die El. Elephant. What did his father, jazz musician Pavel Smetáček, say about heavy metal? Why does he often pick up a mason's trowel instead of drumsticks? And what separates a good drummer from an extraordinary one? Watch the full interview. ON AIR is a talk show by music columnist Pavel Kučera with musicians and people from the music industry. A new episode is published every week on the YouTube channel kytary.cz.
