Lee Smith is best known as drummer in Estradasphere, a band of multi-instrumentalists from Santa Cruz, California.
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Lee Smith migrated to Santa Cruz specifically to fill the role of drummer for Estradasphere.
Estradasphere's flexibility and chameleon-like character required a drummer with experience in a wide variety of styles and Lee's authentic and virtuosic mastery of progressive rock and metal drumming made him a perfect fit.
Lee Smith studied music at the Atlanta Institute of Music and since arriving on the West Coast toured as the substitute drummer for The Stolen Babies, recorded with the Secret Chiefs 3, and has performed locally with Shakespeare Santa Cruz and God of Shamisen.
