Chad is a wildly underrated drummer. He is a humble guy but can really get after it.

He totally killed it

Я правильно понял, что Чад сыграл песню сходу? Прямо в момент первого прослушивания? Если так, то это невероятно 😮

@@craigchapman8220 It's crazy!

I see what you did there @@SeandeDios

This was absolutely the peak of this series. Chad delivered everything. The technical ability, power, he served the song, and he played it with the confidence that the audience needs to see.

Oh, a bridge out of nowhere.... cool, no problem.

the dream theater piano guy doing Alicia Keys was insane

My boy from megadeath did really good too. Chad is impressive though he just jumped straight in! Thats craaazzzyyyy lol! Dirk used a methodical approach, but it was just as impressive to me.

Yeah many of the others kinda just had to feel themselves into it and he just straight out let it rip. Fucking legend!

not bad? This guy is a legend

He just didn't stick the end, but he didn't know it was coming so that's understandable!

Haha, 30 seconds.

​@@lestrada1351 Perhaps, though i loved how he succeded puting 4/4 rhytm into 3/4. That was SICK!

A whole 30 Seconds to Mars...

Yup!!! Link in Portnoy’s video brought me back and I’m hooked. 😂

Dude same

fr same wathed this atleast 20 times now

I like the breakdown

Honestly, I was taken back by how close it was until the very end. Pure skill and talent!

he does session work too, so he's used to it.. plus it's a pretty straightforward song

I could tell he was mainly listening to the bass and vocals for the actual groove. Very professional

he's one of the best EVER at feeling out how his drum part should fit in and benefit the song, so it's not surprising

Drummers are amazing and so fun to watch

Nice joke 🤣🤣🤣

😂

might even say he killed it

Damnit I came here to say that!!!

You sneaky bastard. I see what you did there.

This is undeniable. A truly special moment.

I thought I'm the only one 🤣

Amen. Testament to human capability. This video is freaking awesome!!!

Idem😊

Mi diverte, mi emoziona Artista ed essere umano fantastico❤

I guess so!

That's called passion , look at his face 😢

I did the same in my comment 😂

Comments like this never get old

Please tell me you're kidding....

@@williamsmith7669 yeah they are kidding. There was a skit a few years ago where Will Ferrell and Chad Smith had a drum battle to see who the real Chad Smith was (they look very similar).

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZttygteCtLWbYI0.htmlsi=FXn4PF1XQUDpChZu

I agree!

Even having heard the song many times, I don't think I'd notice the difference if it was just playing somewhere in the background. Unbelievable how he did that!

to be fair it is even better on some pats :s

yeah. never heard the original, heard this one first then the original... and i think im more into this drums

Chad’s better imo

It's always amazing to witness human excellence!

Just another example of a good rock drummer who has a good sense of timing and feel for his genre. Solid dude. Almost too solid at some point that I had slight doubt BUT seeing him mess up at certain parts that most drummers would mess up when trying to write your take to a pre-existing track. Loved watching it.

...or...maybe he actually knew the song lol. This song was massive and the RHCP and 30STM have headlined festivals together

@@keithwoodcrestYou think dudes from these bands at this age give a shit about watching other bands before or after they play a set. They’re sitting in their dressing room eating cucumber sammiches and getting a massage.

@@keithwoodcrestespecially if it’s 30 seconds to Mars 😂

@@keithwoodcrestalso with Chad smith he has been on the spot jamming for the last 30 years along with being a highly acclaimed studio drummer and he’s drummed on many songs you don’t know he did

I'm surprised you found a song he's never heard

Its would be great if you extended each of these to a 3 song thing, getting more challenging and away from their normal playing each song. I know you did 2 with domino but they were both jst 4/4 rock songs. Lets make it more about what they would have played on a session for that song thatn trying to guess what the original drum track is. I actually suprised and pro drummers thy are so worried about getiing it "right" i'd rather hear what thier personality would have brought to the song.

That was fun! 🙏

He actually played that really well for not knowing the song...also drumeo editing gets better and better everyday! ❤

you should post the hardware used to record...

That's what the band should be named..."30 seconds to learn"

@@thechrisandphaedrusshow Not hard to pick up any song, there's tons of streamers who hear the first parts of songs and jam to them no matter what band

@@thechrisandphaedrusshow Pretty much exactly how long it takes to figure out their songs on guitar

​@@thechrisandphaedrusshow 😂😂😂😂😂. Comment of the year

I love how he comments about figuring out the time signature…then just before the chorus kicks in, you see him get giddy like the challenge was to reconstruct the drums, and he just figured it out. He was waiting for the chorus to kick in to confirm he was right…and he was, so he took off.

OMG Daniel hiiiiii 😊 but fr Chad is a legend

Never realized how talented he was.

had a lot of practice, and experience he can improbise

🙌🏻

I love seeing a true musician respond this way because I feel like they truly understand how insane this is...like at 3:57 ...it's obvious he's learning on the fly and just has that unwritten understanding that musicians have. Which the smiles that come from the booth also reaffirm!!

Hillel Slovak: yo, just told Jesus to save you a spot up here man

SCREAMING (too true)

В РХЧП не может быть слабый ударник. А Смит ....да он и в Лед Зепеллин сыграет и в Дип Пёрпл. Возраст конечно влияет, но не мешает быть Музыкантом.

He's the kind of drummer that makes you feel like you're not bad at making a cup of tea.

@@marcobaek1378Hillel was Jewish

Absolutely. Drumeo, make it happen!

Yes, we need this!

It's actually a really good idea. A whole album of drum covers, even if they've heard it, just to hear what they would do with it. Make it for charity or something.

He could put out a double album vinyl .that would be bitchin

This shit is sick

xdd

50 Seconds to Mars he said.

Best comment on KZfaq ever ever 😂

😂😂

Perfect

I'd say it equals Sugarfoot doing linkin park

Chad was a bit more spot on while staying original

The chorus has kind of weird timing to drum too which makes it a bit difficult imo

Why? Not denying his talent but the beat is obvious and the song is simple.

Just watch Domino playing Mastodon and that was great. I could feel her difficult cause I didn't know the song as well. This 30s to Mars is pretty obvious

I say the same thing.

I second this!

I 3rd it. More. Much more please.

that would be sick! I fourth it

Fifth it!! Love the song and Chad is such a cool ass dude!!

Did you watch the Killers one with Megadeath's drummer? Also mind-blowing.

Yeah, he is THE GigaChad.

I was thinking the same, I've never seen something so good like this content

A « chad » if you will

Yup I agree truth is I can't stop watching it

this right here!!!! couldnt have put it better

i prefer this version over the original!

he even breaks a stick in the middle of the song and doesn't even get thrown off for a second. It's absolutely mindboggling

He's absolutely heard this song before lol. He knew exactly when all the tempo and energy changes were coming. I could believe that he's never practiced the song before, but he's obviously familiar with it.

@@theKashConnoisseur or, wierd thought, I know, he's Just a really good musician who understands that stuff inherently. If you believe it or not, Most music follows patterns. (And He was acting in the end to make it believable, I guess?)

*chad face* Yes

Not only talent, decades of hard work.

Same

@@mrkv4k facts, i feel like people always unknowingly never mention this!

Yeah, noticed that too! The level of his music intelligence is incredible.

f*cking wizard, that guy. unreal.

Yes but he really tones down around 3:11 mark though, and starts listening to the syncopation.

yah he knows there's gonna be an explosion coming just wow 😮

First time I watched this I got fully body chills when he nailed it at this part. This is probably my 10th watch. His artistry never ceases to amaze me.

Honestly I feel like with how the chili peppers jam live Chad has had a lot of practice making those reads and being adaptable as fuck

That "wall of noise" sound with crash cymbals when used properly...is kinda one of my favorite styles of drumming. The sound reminds me of something universal in music that I think people understand innately. It reminds me of the wind, or the ocean, or a storm, or the tides, or a fire when you throw some kindling on. Awesome.

@@psychotic4560 i figure they'd have a lot of overlap in audience - but also, there are only so many ways to play 6/8 (potentially 3/4) without getting into danny carey territory

​@@psychotic4560they didn't tour togeher

​@@py_a_thonI get what you're saying. That's a good way to describe it.

It's almost like he's done this for the past 40+ years

That comes from a lot of learning from playing with people - its always very interesting because you can see how people learnt growing up from the way they read the music. To be fair the song is somewhat _predictable_ ish in that the builds and falls are obvious, but he bloody nailed it

Stillworld bro >

I can ateste to this. I do consulting on mixes and yes that is a thing we can recognize how each musician performs and their strong suits👍🙏 it can get emotional at times which is wild

Many years of practice and jamming. Popular music styles are structured around certain patterns.

I think this maybe is less impressive that it appears. When he is joking around calling it “some emo band” or saying he “feels violated” it’s probably because this a very typical(of genre) type music. It has some standard breakdowns and builds and basic song structure. It’s easy to predict where changes will come, it’s telegraphed very well and this song doesn’t really do any thing unexpected. He also goes in to hard on some Of the soft parts and quickly adjusts. All to say, he’s jamming, and that’s something very many musicians are very good at, even ones that aren’t professionals. But, when you get someone with this level of technicality and musicianship doing it sounds pretty great.

I SECOND THIS

agreed

Absolutely

Drumeo's gonna have to get a lot more subscribers to afford him that often 😅

Such a fun and cool dude, definitely one element of why RHCP are such a fun band

Go watch their video they did with the Megadeath drummer doing Mr. Brightside, you’ll love that one too!

It's rock n roll, just in 3/4. The tropes of how to do it are pretty well known, and if you listen to a song there's cues in the other instruments and singing to feel where you're headed.

lol and he's def heard the song before@@Celestion321

@@KurosawaStan everything's in 4/4 if you don't count it like a NERD.

Never heard a good drummer?

That does it for me as well. Would love to see them basking in this live performance

First 30 seconds from where Chad started playing would've been awesome.

Fer real, dude!

YES! Even a little PIP of them in the corner would be amazing

You know that bit in Daft Punk's Interstella 5555 where the kid is watching TV and slowly drops the chip on himself? That, i imagine.

Exactly!!!!!!

Because he has lol

Most of these guys have heard the songs lol.... this is just for your entertainment. Don't think it's real.

@1betterthanyou1lol no it isn’t. It has more than one section that breaks from traditional song structure.

​@@GregavisionNot to be an argumentative tool, but what about this song is unconventional? At first listen, to me sounds super formulaic. I could easily see how he could roll with it (still a great musician, don't get me wrong). V1 C1 V2 C2 B1/B2 2 bars turnaround Double chorus on the way out Thoughts?

@@insertnamehere4419 good point.

Let alone as a great human being too lol

“Oh it’s Jared’s band…” He clearly knows Jared Leto personally yet claims he never heard one of their biggest songs… 🙄

@@Brando-_-440I mean Jared Leto is so much bigger than the band. There’s plenty of people who know him and have no clue about his band

he probably doesnt want to be associated with him esp with the allegations

@@Brando-_-440 I mean I know that 30 Seconds to Mars is Jared Leto's band and yet I had never heard a single song from them before this one

Heisenberg: You're Goddamn Right!

Thats the word.

He absolutely fucking nailed that. It honestly just....blew my mind. He was right!

I’m just so amazed by his talent -I’ve watched this many times.

Actually, he is a Chad.

It’s a testament not only to his skills as a drummer, but how comfortable he is with off timings and non-intuitive structure. Makes sense, given the weird shit he deals with playing in RHCP. This is right up his alley. Only major difference between this and RHCP is a lack of California references.

The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic Child SAers that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, and forcibly SA children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcibly shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual SA happens when they are slipped something that incapacitates them or they are asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or bodily fluids. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock their victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect deviant SAers. They harass the victims to try to instigate a violent reaction that they can be locked up for. This is a strategy they have used for decades against enemies in different contexts, only the child SAers use it to try to get rid of victims using advanced military technology.

@@eddiekalista3222 Weird shit? Like what?

@@barnabydodd8956Like Flea 😂

I noticed that too

Most impressive part to me was him snatching up the replacement stick without missing a beat.

didnt even seem like it's a mistake. the breaking of the left drumstick was more noticeable

@@anibalantinori7415 El Estepario Siberiano as well.

100% agree, this is the best one of this series that I have seen, I was totally blown away. Maybe I shouldn't be shocked that a professional musician would be so intuitive, but I didn't expect him to nail it *that* closely without even a first listen to the track.

I love the look in his eyes, just completely and utterly lost in what he's doing. What a wonderful human being. Also, Paiste 2002s are bloody gorgeous!

Love him 🥰👍😎

3:10 perfectly illustrates this. He's like "hmm alright I guess I'm playing like this now." 3:20, 3:37, 3:41, 3:52 A single beat where he notices the shift and quickly makes the transition.

Your comment is spot on as Chad’s playing. Really cool to see him working through that.

Master drummer right there. Switching up and pulling back the way he does, all improv too. I want lessons from this man haha

I point to the Megadeth drummer performing Mr. Brightside without hearing it as a bit of a contrast to this performance here. While he does a good job, it doesn't sound nearly as close to the original drums.

Right?!

Yes same! He’s obviously a good drummer but seeing that wow he’s better than i ever thought wow

he does session work too, so he's used to it

Nailed It!!!!

100%

i got distracted on something else and thought "why tf am i listening to this" before realizing it was chad

Jeez man it's so unreal to me to look at this guy and actually accept he's 61.

He has Chad energy

he's called Chad for a reason

THE Chad 😊

Lol he's pretty average drummer in my Eyes listening to there music his drummin is lazy simple

I also love that he can't help but play along again. That's a dude who loves the drums and loves music

Gen X talent

Do u want another pass? “No, no, fuck no I nailed that….I feel violated!” Then goes and play along with the original knowing what the guys was going to play next chads version was better

That’s because he can count if u can count the recognized tempo u will know what to play.this is a skill as a drummer that u cant teach tho it takes experience and hella of listening to different music and tempos to be able to pick up shit like this first try but first try in 30sec is insane skill

@@SamiDaComposer you still won't know the structure of the song and energy of certain parts , yet he seems to nail both pretty much perfect (well except for that ending bit there XD) better than a lot of drummers in this series who did listen to the song first.

​@@yeskiii It was just a long winded way of the original commenter to say "first"

It's almost as if they played this song in every JC Penneys, Ross, and Walmart for the past 20 yrs. Or something. And he - I dunno - HEARD IT before.

@@brassattacks2411can’t think of one time I’ve ever heard any of those stores playing this song let alone anything else that even closely resembles this song. Terrible take.

⁠@@slabGod_dont mind brass (under the influence)

means the band came up with a universal groove that everyone can get in on. it's epic what these guys can do!

​@@TheRyepoogExactly. I get the argument that Chad has heard the song before, and there may be a subconscious level of recognition thing going on... But at a base level, music is math. Whether he's (or any musician is) actively thinking of it in those terms on purpose or not, after being in the industry as long as he has, he's going to recognize what "works" within the genre he's listening to. It's an ear for both the "sound" and the "numbers" at an incredible level.

Well... that and/or it shows how by-the-books the song is.

Either that or some pretty simplistic songwriting on the bands part. Maybe a bit of both.

@@The_RedVIIIIt's not like Chad and RHCP don't jam / freestyle out on stage a lot either. lol. Chad is a HUGE reason why I love RHCP live more than the studio version of their songs, he supports everyone perfectly.

Amazing, truly

Chad has *absolutely* heard this song before... that's why he caveated his statement at the beginning about "or it's not in the drummer's playstyle". Obviously still an awesome performance, but I don't buy for a second that he hasn't heard this song before.

THANK YOU. This is a honed skill!

It's the purest skill there is. He has the actual ability to create music where none exists, on the fly, and have it suit the song perfectly apparently lol.@@smeetsnoud1

Man I feel the same as a guitarist when I hear a really good Jazz guy, its fucking years of theory and practice. Insane.

Homes, he's 62 and a wolrd class musician. No one is falling out of their chair in surprise here.

x2

It is like magic to me. That is what makes music so special for so many is that, there is no understanding where this comes from. What a magic moment and gigantic talent.

I saw the thumbnail and thought it was Will Ferrell. Who else? Edit: Thanks for all the likes!

Chad Smith is a great drummer, no doubt, but what he's showcasing here is decades of experience. Once you get to a certain point with any instrument it just flows, there's no thinking to do, once you know time signature and/or key you can play whatever you want within those bounds. Drums are a second language for him and he speaks fluently.

@@holdmyweight3597 I think it's Jimmy Fallon's show where Will Ferrell and Chad Smith have a drum off

This puts him in my top 10 for sure. Incredible how he picked up on all of it so fast.

Yeah 100% willing to admit I didn’t think he was god tier before. Now I need to see him do more of these like air to breathe.

hes quickly becoming my favorite member of the band

I think it's because of how simply he plays in RHCP. But I think that's part of what makes him so good, he plays what the music needs instead of needing to show case his chops and technical ability all the time

@@samproctor8421 yeah that makes sense. im glad drumeo is giving him some chances in the spotlight for the drumming audience
