The fact that he didn’t listen to the entire song the first time and take notes speaks volumes to his talent and ability. He started playing almost immediately when everyone else would have been listening through the first time. Didn’t even take a second take on it. If he had he would have even shredded it more. The man is a master.

@kobman41599 ай бұрын
I'm honestly quite surprised, that so many drummers/musicians are surprised by Chad being intuitive, listening and anticipating, like it's some kind of unique unicorn skill. It's literally the BASIC REQUIREMENT from ANY musician (well, maybe not the orchestra guys) that respects themselves. If a musician can't listen, anticipate or improvise it's a HUGE flaw, that needs to be worked on asap. Lacking those skills makes musicians hard to work with and even harder to create with.

I've seen the original video 3 times and now 2 different reaction videos. It blows my mind every time. With just a couple exceptions where he doesn't know precisely where the song is going, he's playing it as I would expect on an album. Even then, he picks is up quickly and adjusts. Honestly, I like his interpretation better than the original. The original uses the snare too much, IMO.

As someone who doesn't understand a wet fart's worth about making music, what impresses me about Chad's absolutely Chad take on this song is how he picks up the energy of the song in what, 10-15 seconds and then just goes in full blast with complete confidence with his own take. No steps back, he just sends it and it might as well be the drum track for the actual song.
@mafeuk7 ай бұрын
That's because he is used to jamming with his band members and coming up with new beats just in the spot and he also is a session drummer for other artists so he is also used to listening to plenty of drumless tracks so he can come up with his take.
