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 😮
@Craig Chapman It's crazy!
I see what you did there @Sean de Dios
This man is a LEGEND! 🎉
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.
Lots of people praise Chad's "instincts" but don't realize how long it takes to develop that feel and knowledge base. Lots of respect for a musician that really knows what he's doing.
I'm sorry, but NO ONE will top this "first time hearing"... this is the peak. Chad is a legend.
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.
Dude didn’t even need the whole song, took like 30 seconds of it and played a faithful set with his own flavors mixed in. What a legend.
That's what the band should be named..."30 seconds to learn"
@The Chris & Phaedrus show 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
@The Chris & Phaedrus show Pretty much exactly how long it takes to figure out their songs on guitar
@Megaalith They took a lesson from Green Day!
@The Chris & Phaedrus show 😂😂😂😂😂. Comment of the year
Gained mad respect and appreciation for Chad Smith in less than 10 minutes. That was bad ass and Chad seems like a super rad fella.
Indeed. My perspective on The Peppers has changed lots of the years, kind of lost a little bit of love for them. But Chad is always top notch.
He’s a great guy. This just shows how genius he is. Nobody else could’ve gotten that close to the original, never hearing it before
Say what you will about chill peppers music, but there is absolutely no disputing the absolute genius that is chads drumming skills. His seriously one of the greatest, along with mick Fleetwood.
As someone who absolutely loves this song, his version is scary accurate for someone who’s never heard the song before 😂
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
It’s unbelievably scary how accurate he played the chorus
Im not a drummer, Im not a musician, but even I can recognise immense talent when its slaps me in the face.
I loved it.
Chad made it even better than it was in original. Truly a legend
how can something be better than the very thing that inspired it? impossible.
it can be great in and of itself but it will never eclipse the inspiration from which it was derived.
@absolutetuber I'm sorry, inspired who by what? He played it for the first time and didn't hear the drum sounds so didn't have an "inspiration" source for his part
@absolutetuber That's like saying evolution as a concept is impossible.
Agree, found chad drums is more interesting. Now I'm start thinking that original drum was really slow and plain lols
@absolutetuber how is it impossible? you're saying no cover, arrangement or reorchestration of any music could be better than the original, by anyone, in any context, for any reason... ever?
Will Farrell is an amazing drummer.
Chad might have been the best of this series I have seen. He is right there with Larnell
Larnell is a legend but Chad is the only one so far who didn’t listen to the entire song first and take notes. It sets him apart
@TJ Robertsthis is scary impressive. Not a musician but hope to get into drums one day.
I've listened to this and watched this over a dozen times now because of just how flippin' amazing this is. He just slayed this song with so much skill. It was like he mentored the drummer as he wrote the song. Just... WOW!
He literally felt the song and that's why he anticipated every part. It was a masterclass from a true musician
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
@Keith WoodcrestYou 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.
@Keith Woodcrestespecially if it’s 30 seconds to Mars 😂
@Keith Woodcrestalso 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
You can tell he loves what he does, the passion in his playing its incredible.
Second chorus - and he is outta this world
Pure, unadulterated love for this man! Legend.
Queria tanto esse vídeo traduzido 🥺! Ele é simplesmente sensacional ❤
This is by far my favorite "First Time" performance by far. I got to see Chad at a drum clinic decades ago and his energy and enthusiasm is so contagious! Thank you for sharing this with us all! A masterful performance by a legendary musician!
Gotta agree with how close he was to the original!
I think the biggest thing this shows is that both Shannon and Chad really understand what the song calls for, hence how they both go in the same direction. They're just there to serve the song.
I love how he nailed it after 30 seconds. No pun intended
Nice joke 🤣🤣🤣
😂
might even say he killed it
Damnit I came here to say that!!!
You sneaky bastard. I see what you did there.
He played so well that you didn't even notice he broke a stick. Legend! 🙌
I like the original version of this song, but really dig Chad’s version. He brought an energy and emotion to the piece not present in the original. Not better, per se, just different. If Shannon ever does get sick or needs a sub, they better call Chad because he just proved he could fill the seat no problem.
I liked parts better and some parts less. Honestly overall, I like this one better and it was his literal first take at it. 😂
chad could fit the seat on most bands. a true legend
Witnessed a legend dude just sprang to life and the force flowed, incredible to watch
Goosebumps, man. I've never even heard this original tune, but Chad's take sounded amazing.
Holy shit! He jumps right in at the first chorus and absolutely crushes it without a full listen! Wow! The way he instinctively recognized the structure and nailed pretty much every transition perfectly in both the timing and the vibe that came next was unreal! Holy shit holy shit!!
He probably figured the time signiture and all comes automatic.. what a talent
If you had never heard the original version, you would 100% believe this was the original drums for this song. He immediately got the vibe
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
4:23 The fact that he breaks one of his drumsticks and still keeps the rhythm going flawlessly is truly impressive.
Tbf that’s prolly happened to him hundreds of times over the years so he’s used to it 😂
He has played live concerts for decades
This drum remix still sends chills down my spine weeks later
Idk why but I've watched this video well over 60+ times & just blown away on how he plays the drums so chilled
Es normal que la versión de Chad me guste más que la original? 😂
Chad did a better job, for sure.
After 45 years of being in the industry as one of the most innovative drummers ever this was easy. You can feel his passion through this video.
It's crazy how well he literally feels the energy of the song and its different parts. Would love to have this guy as my drummer.
He is WAY better than I had ever thought he was! He grabbed the musicality like almost in real time
As much as i love Anchorman, Chad Smith is one of Wil Ferrell's best roles. He did so amazing here. Love that he just went straight into it.
I did the same in my comment 😂
Comments like this never get old
Please tell me you're kidding....
@William Smith 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).
I'm actually speechless. This man is a musical genius!
This is the peak of the series from Drumeo and what a brilliant idea for a series it was. I am happy that this particular video turned so many new people on to Drumeo. What they do for the drum community in unmatched. I wonder how many people that are pondering learning an instrument ended up choosing drums by this one video alone?
Chad is an absolute monster player. You can really hear the difference between the drummers that sat in conservatories their whole life fretting over miniscule, insignificant nuances in music, and those that got out there in the real world, played their asses off, and became legends in the process.
What the hell…. As someone who legit loves this song, for someone who has never heard this other than 30-40 seconds to get the feel, I feel like he absolutely nailed this shit wtf!!??!
Most drummers listened and took notes. this guy just found the groove like he'd played it a hundred times.
I love how he feels out the song while playing. He's like "wait, that's not it. Ok this feels right". Effin awesome.
I've already watched this video like 5 times. I want a whole series of Chad doing improv to songs.... That would be gold!
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
Music lover here, but know nothing about drumming nor thirty seconds to Mars and I was smiling the whole time. Chad killed it. I’m honestly in awe of great musicians and how seamless this they make this seem.
I think writing that I was impressed is not enough
what a legendary performance
This is without doubt one of the finest videos on UAclips. Chad smith is an absolute legend. I love how he just thrusts straight into it. Finds the groove. Has a blast and his humour is the icing on top. Sensational
A versão original é boa , mas a do Chad ficou simplesmente espetacular ❤️🇧🇷
Mano, pqp eu pensei a mesma coisa, a versão dele sei lá, ficou muito espetacular.
"That wasn't bad"
Dude, you killed it...
This is CRAZY. On the first pass??
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!!
Chad's a different kinda musical beast to just instinctively know where the song is going based just on feel in a genre he isn't all that familiar with. He really is an embodiment of the fun of music just like Dave Ghrol
His ability to adapt on the fly is amazing.
3:57 the sheer brilliance of this moment is breathtaking!
This might be the best display of talent and creativity I have ever seen. It is truly inspiring to know this is what humans can create
I've never heard this song either, but that drumming was insanely good and within such a short space of hearing the start to smashing it out of the park. So impressive!
This is by no means the most challenging song you guys have given a drummer but it was for sure the most impressive. It's scary how quickly he picked up on it.
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 love this so much the way he tried different things at the end. One of my favourite drummers ever
Он слышал эту песню раньше отвечаю , хорошо сыграл ❤
That gave me freaking goosebumps. I already loved this song and old 30 Seconds to Mars a lot, as well as adore Chad Smith. Now, I only ever want to hear the Chad Smith version from now on. Holy mother of cow. That was so freaking awesome.
Edit: AND HE BROKE A STICK IN THE MIDDLE. I'M BLOWN AWAY.
Muito Top!! Toca com muita energia
This was so fun to watch he absolutely killed it that was amazing!
"That wasn't bad!". The man listened to a drum-less track for a whole 30 seconds and then played the rest of the song almost note for note. Absolutely insane.
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.
@L Estrada
Perhaps, though i loved how he succeded puting 4/4 rhytm into 3/4. That was SICK!
A whole 30 Seconds to Mars...
Properly brings absolute tears of joy!
Chad smith brought the groove feel, got the business on the hat and brought the full dynamic range throughout.
Fuckin killer performance!
Bro had 30 seconds and created an absolute masterpiece, Chad is truly a Chad
Chad is such a badass haha This makes me wanna learn to play drums so bad
Desborda talento. Grande Chad
Big shout out to whoever is mixing these sessions. It’s blended perfectly!
You're all in for a treat. Thanks to Chad for accepting the challenge!
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...
Absolutely killed it. Loved his version.
I love how once Brandon said the name of the band, Chad instantly remembered it was Jared Leto’s band, and that Jared’s brother Shannon was the drummer (neither of which I knew Jared had!)
Chad sure does do his research.
all that aside, it blows my mind just how good Chad’s rendition of this song is. I don’t really listen to this kind of music, so I went in completely blindly, but MAN did Chad deliver.
absolutely incredible job, Chad!
he is genuinely one of the most immense drummers ever....
Just knew this one was going to be fantastic and it does not disappoint 🔥
After having seen everyone else listen to the song in full, write down some notes, and then kill it, it is fucking WILD to see Chad listen to like 20 seconds of a song, and then utterly slay it on the drums to it.
That was astonishing, Chad's instinct for musical direction and feel is off the charts
This brings me to tears and gives me so much joy ❤
I love music so much and seeing these ultra talented musicians express themselves so flawlessly has me in awe!
I’ve never picked up an instrument before 💔
This is so on point omg one of my all time favorite drummers. Well done Chad 🎉
4:47 gets me everytime. He kicks it up and notch, just vibing... then realizes it's mellowed out and corrects lol.
I was so amazed when he started I screamed! I LOVE THIS!❤🔥❤🔥
Ive seen this like 20 times and im still in awe!!!
This is probably one of the most impressive drumming videos in internet history. Chad is a beast!
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
Ok, I don’t really like RHCP, but this cat… first of all all, a TOTAL blast!!! Seems like such a fun dude! Doesn’t take himself too seriously, but sharp and on point, and FEELS music… He absolutely did nail it and felt every minute of it. I actually prefer what he played to the original (though I also never heard the original)
As a musician, i can say that was amazing to watch this fella work. Awe inspiring
That actually blew my mind how quick he picked it up, If I went to a live show and that's what I heard I would think the drummer was just having a fun night. Awesome.
They should do a tracked out version of this , that only plays their rendition of the song.
1 original from the video.
And another with the drums mixed in a little lower. ❤
I was smiling the whole time he was playing. So impressive on all levels.
Chad's appearance needs to be at least a once a week occurrence! Puts a smile on my face everytime.
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
The mark of a true skilled drummer, he picked up on timing, and the style, just by the bass lines and the crescendos from the vocals, guitars. He truly fucking nailed it. He was not that far off on verses, chorus, breakdowns, fills, or ending. holy fucking hell I would love to hear him live with the band ONCE. I could live happy with just the chance for ONE TIME.
Independientemente de si ya la conocía o no hizo un pedaso de trabajo. Eh visto el video unas 50 veces y eriza la piel. Pedaso de baterista
He picked up on the energy almost immediately, holy shit that was great!
What an absolute Chad
Always a massive pleasure to watch a great musician at work
Growing up, I never realized it, but it’s absolutely ridiculous how much individual talent is in each member of RHCP. Each one of them is iconic
Agree 100%
That was my exact thought after wataching this video. Crazy that they came together
Too bad they don't have a good singer
Not Anthony though
@D. R.Sure
Toms right before the first chorus dropped sent chills. Legendary.
i've watched this so many times still dosent get old...he killed it
What a freaking amazingly talented drummer
I love watching drum covers. This is one of my favorite songs in the drumming sense
Something about his performance just makes this version sound so raw
gives me chills every time I watch this
Who knew Will Ferrell was a killer drummer!?! Wow! He just jumped right into a song he never heard before and killed it. Wow!
everyone thats seen step bros
I have been listening to the RHCP since the early 90's and have always respected their musical talent. I had never respected Chad and his amazing playing abilities until hearing how he responded to this challenge. He follows the music in a way that most cannot, and while it's not perfect because he cannot know where the song is going at all times. His ability to play this is nothing short of amazing. I have a newfound appreciation and great respect for Chad as a musician and he's right, he fucking nailed it.
I watched this the first time, amazed. Watching this a second time, after weeks of Drumeo content...Absolutely floored!
Being able to instantly identify the vibe of the song, and jumping right in is masterful. The similarities of the 2 performances hit just as hard as the deviations. They highlight the depth of drum theory, and made me realise how thought out a drumline is.
ficou melhor que o original, eu não canso de vir aqui e ouvir s2
New level of respect, I've never heard a drummer pick up a track like that. Chad your the goat.
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.
@KurosawaStan everything's in 4/4 if you don't count it like a NERD.
He's so good he made it look so easy
What a boss!!
Chads groves are just insane man, him and Hawkins and Peart were some of my all time favs
This is just absolutely crazy how close to the original he can get 😂
Ok I know people aren't always convinced these are really the first time the drummer has heard it, and I definitely understand that given how huge some of these songs were, but damn no hesitation once he got the feel for it he just went in. And what a damn good job he did, that was awesome!
