Ty Smith (born January 2, 1977, in Alton, Illinois) is an American studio and internationally touring drummer.
At the age of 16, he started playing professionally in the local band Ultrafink and opened for such acts as Bloodhound Gang, Nerf Herder, W.A.S.P.
Smith moved to Los Angeles in 1997 to pursue his music career and it was there he joined Jughead's Revenge as their touring and recording drummer.
In 1998, Smith convinced the other members of what was to become Bullets and Octane to join him in Los Angeles in hopes of creating and nurturing his own band and music and separating from the reputation of Guttermouth.
Black President, whose members consist of Charlie Paulson of Goldfinger, Greg Hetson of Circle Jerks and Bad Religion, Jason Christopher of Prong and Christian Martucci of the Dee Dee Ramone Band asked Smith to join them as their touring and recording drummer for this project in 2007.
