Sabian endorser Chad Smith playing to a track during a recent clinic in Northampton. The track is 'Charlie'. For full story check out www.sabian.com/...
The guy is a freakin' powerhouse. What a groove. He's so creative, too.....it's not like "I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING SUPER FLASHY," he's just a solid, solid drummer. Awesome.
I was the same age when I first saw this in 2007. I'm still coming back once in a while to watch this amazing performance - it seems like he is playing on butter. Chad is my idol and my favorite drummer on Earth.
Holy Fuck! no matter how many times I watch this I am blown away! I'm an 80's kid and everyone would go on about neil pert of rush but honestly I think hes boring compared to Chad.
charles campos Woah Woah Woah!! I love Chad too but a little respect. Neil and Chad are actually real good friends and I'm sure they learn a lot from each other. Plus they both endorse Sabian.
Chad's style is just ridiculous good. He's got a fluid, yet almost impreciseness to his movements. Though he always plays his notes right where he means to. He's got such a laidback feel to his playing but when he goes nuts it still grooves hard man. Such a unique style it's crazy.
Funky Monk! Chad is a Midwestern drummer as I am! Midwestern drummers are rock solid in the pocket, hard rocking heart and balls style drummers! I myself was spoonfed Mowtown, R&B, Funk, Soul, Rock, Latin Jazz and Blues! Shout out to all my pocket playing backbone conductors out there! 💪🥁👍
in my opinion the best drummer in the world today (IN MY OPINION!) i love the way he can write and recored songs so simply and then when i comes to playing it live can just spice it up yet keeping the exact simplicity at the same time some how. plus hes a powerhouse on the drums, gotta love that
havin played on an off since i was a kid i can tell you he is one to be watched as his his style is so relaxed and fluid. when you learn to be like that playin hard rock becomes so much easier !!
Great power, speed, feel, and groove all put together! If I tried to play just like this, I would hurt myself. Hopefully, I will be able to play this well with a few decades of experience.
@NeverMindtheNoise57 how do you like the snare, i have been thinking about buying it, i heard it has more overtones than some people would like.... but i have a tama bell brass so i am used to the ring...
man Chad is definitely in my top drummers of all-time he is such a beast and this video is a good example of his beastliness...definitely a big influence for me and my own drumming
Nice flair, in the pocket, a couple of slight lags where he almost over extends the playing in some fills but all up a very solid performance - a treat to watch!
I love the stick visual at 2:26. Even though he doesn't catch it I'm still impressed that he made it go straight up and down. Excellent drummer, one of my favorites. He plays so much better than RHCP's recordings have ever been able to capture.
He's the best drummer for RHCP in the world. Plenty of more "talented" drummers out there, but his style and groove fits the Chili's absolutely perfect....
legand! i casually met chad at my music collage today. he came in at the end on my drum class and spoke to us for half and hour and jammed out a few beats!
The guy is a freakin' powerhouse. What a groove. He's so creative, too.....it's not like "I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING SUPER FLASHY," he's just a solid, solid drummer. Awesome.
I could listen to Chad forever, so tight and loose at the same time. Brilliant.
he knows he wont catch the stick back. and he doesn't give a shit! i love him
Chad Smith might be the loosest drummer ever
I think brooks wackerman could be a good one too...i dont know how the sticks dont get away
is that a good thing or bad thing
+Grammar Nazi Depends which band you're in
@@monkeyliver1986 Really Good
@@hugorezende199 brooks is great! And is doing an amazing work in avenged sevenfold
I can't stop watching this. it's just incredible. that fill at 2:14... and from 2:30... and he makes it all look so easy.
his fills are always so clean and never too complex but sounds awesome!
How he plays on hi-hat at 02:40 and 02:47 are incredible..... and Every movement he takes is extremely sophisticated.
Chad's groove is super effective, the mic fainted.
love how he just pimp slap the cymbal 1:41!
I really enjoy his drumming and the fact that he seems to be genuinely happy about how lucky he is.
Chad makes drumming an art...
It is an art..
+Ritvik Karra And a damn beautiful one at that.
1:40 is the coolest thing ever
Nothing better than grooving on a ride while ghost noting on the snare.
Oh yeah
He somehow manages to ghost the high hat and snare simultaneously
@@davidwaldhart6435 His left foot is almost always working, such a great player.
where's his snare? he has no snares on his headphones
This kind of drummer you want to jam with, never runs out idea and he's so powerful lmao maybe to much
Without a doubt one of the best rock/funk drummers ever.
2019 and i'm still coming back to this video. love chad and his awesome drumming.
Am I the only one who wants to see how bad he'd destroy poorly-built equipment? Great advertisement for Pearl and Sabian durability right here.
Although he just recently switched over from Pearl to DW.
Jared block is just 4 money
Man, always come back to this video to see how much i still lacking in the game, thank you Chad 🙏
idk how many times i've watched this video, and it still amazes me every time. The man is fucking brilliant.
This guy is fucking sick. My all time favorite drummer. This dude has the ultimate "feel".
Holy shit. That's some Super Saiyan drumming at 2:14
Super Sabian
No it isn’t
3:27 mic casualty
The pop in that snare gaddam! I remember this saw it live, 05 or something crazy way back Northampton! With the dude from ocean col.
I first watched this when I was 17. And it blew my mind then as it still does now.
I was the same age when I first saw this in 2007. I'm still coming back once in a while to watch this amazing performance - it seems like he is playing on butter.
Chad is my idol and my favorite drummer on Earth.
Chad Smith is one THE great drummers of our time. Tell your friends.
this man has a great gift im glad he shares it with everyone
3:26
*faints from eargasm*
Damn I must've listened to this song 100 times without ever considering how technical the drums are, until I watched this.
that's such a beautiful sounding snare
Never really liked RHCP (only a few songs though), but I have always admired Chad Smith's playing style. Truly inspirational
his style can be so straight forward but totally unique and creative at the same time. awesome
Holy Fuck! no matter how many times I watch this I am blown away! I'm an 80's kid and everyone would go on about neil pert of rush but honestly I think hes boring compared to Chad.
charles campos Woah Woah Woah!! I love Chad too but a little respect. Neil and Chad are actually real good friends and I'm sure they learn a lot from each other. Plus they both endorse Sabian.
I can almost agree. Neil is more accurate and clean, but I really love Chad's style.
can't compare then. too different stiles
Chad is practically jamming here. It's very raw.
charles campos you just sined when you said that
I have watched this at least 50 times. this guy owns
This guy eats drums for breakfast!
Anyone else stoked about the new album coming out in August? Chad is aboslutely one of the best grooving drummers ever.
2:42 love that splash + snare sound.
Chad Smith has so much feel and has some of the best grooves.
How to improvise live with 0 fucks given.
ive never seen a drummer so focused and intense in his playing. So much energy it blows you away.
3:29.
His drumming was so epic that a microphone stand fell down.
Chad's style is just ridiculous good. He's got a fluid, yet almost impreciseness to his movements. Though he always plays his notes right where he means to. He's got such a laidback feel to his playing but when he goes nuts it still grooves hard man. Such a unique style it's crazy.
good band great drummer
He is so powerful and with a perfect technique at the same time, that's so amazing!
power + groove = Chad Smith!
I love how he is always on the groove, making it lok so simple and complicated at the same time.
The mic is fall down for1.3millions time,and the guy pick it up for1.3million time either.....
there is something that attracts me to watch over and over again
He is the best drummer ever!
+Gabriele Martini before him (in rock) only Stewart Copeland (an orchestra in a drummer) and Jhon Bonam
holy shit, does he play a FULL concert like that?!
DAM.
that was a BEAST mode being shredded to bits.
Um Mito!!!! Gênio!
Feel proud to have been there!
The height at which he plays looks so uncomfortable but I guess it's always the same, maybe it's amazing for him to sit like that haha
pescalante2 he's a pretty big guy he's like 1.90 m, sorry I don't know how it's in ft lol
he looks like he's having so much fun!
i didnt think will ferrell could play this good
your avatar fits your comment xd
Funky Monk! Chad is a Midwestern drummer as I am! Midwestern drummers are rock solid in the pocket, hard rocking heart and balls style drummers! I myself was spoonfed Mowtown, R&B, Funk, Soul, Rock, Latin Jazz and Blues! Shout out to all my pocket playing backbone conductors out there!
💪🥁👍
"Did you touch my drum kit!!"
haha
its almost as if he subconsciously has the song in his head but is just just jamming over the top of it, I love him!
chad is hands down one of the best (or best) funk rock/alternative drummers eva!!!

@AlanM11Drums you can buy it, it's called chad smith's signature snare 14x5
in my opinion the best drummer in the world today (IN MY OPINION!) i love the way he can write and recored songs so simply and then when i comes to playing it live can just spice it up yet keeping the exact simplicity at the same time some how. plus hes a powerhouse on the drums, gotta love that
You don't even need to listen to this, just watching him play is a joy!
I really look up to this guy.. always been an inspiration to me.. Unbelievable drummer with an unbelievable talent.
straight from heart. this is real music.
havin played on an off since i was a kid i can tell you he is one to be watched as his his style is so relaxed and fluid. when you learn to be like that playin hard rock becomes so much easier !!
Great power, speed, feel, and groove all put together! If I tried to play just like this, I would hurt myself. Hopefully, I will be able to play this well with a few decades of experience.
Chad Smith is an awesome drummer! And one of the many bad-ass and talented artists to come out of Detroit.
Chad Smith have one of the best drum grooves of all time!
I am always amazed at the ease with which chad smith kicks the drum's ass.
doesn't matter if it's 240p or 1080p, it still kicks ass!!
@NeverMindtheNoise57 how do you like the snare, i have been thinking about buying it, i heard it has more overtones than some people would like.... but i have a tama bell brass so i am used to the ring...
Who would dislike this?? I mean really!? Chad is amazing!!
that snare sounds just perfect
I love Chad! He's just amazing drummer..
i wanna get this to a million!!!
man Chad is definitely in my top drummers of all-time he is such a beast and this video is a good example of his beastliness...definitely a big influence for me and my own drumming
Best drummer alive
definately agree. its also that hes got so much competition with anthonys antics and flea and john because theyre all so flashy.
great vid. I love watching expertise like this!! LEGEND!!
chad smith looks as smooth as his grooves sound when playing.
Chad..I started playin drums because of this dude..at the live..he was killin it
Love this shit. I'm not even a drummer and I've watched this video 20 times.
Fucking Chad man. What a legendary player. I hope I can have that kind of pocket and groove sense one day.
Chad Smith ha ido evolucionando... aprendio mucho estos ultimos años
@TwistedJr69th actually he sang in step brothers, John C Reilly played the drums in step brothers
Just GREAT!
Love this drummer
Nice flair, in the pocket, a couple of slight lags where he almost over extends the playing in some fills but all up a very solid performance - a treat to watch!
Chad rocks always!!!
When I’m sat at my desk drumming with a ruler and pencil, in my head I’m as good as this 😃
Chad smith remains an idol
Always great to see a good drummer on a small kit !!...
He is incredible.
I love the stick visual at 2:26. Even though he doesn't catch it I'm still impressed that he made it go straight up and down. Excellent drummer, one of my favorites. He plays so much better than RHCP's recordings have ever been able to capture.
To have a successful band you need nothing but just good drummer , bass player , guitarist and singer , ..
@GodsmackLoverOracle are you reffering to the tattoo kit custom made by Henk Schiffmacher?
He's the best drummer for RHCP in the world. Plenty of more "talented" drummers out there, but his style and groove fits the Chili's absolutely perfect....
that was the funkiest shit i've ever heard. Chad Smith kicks ass baby.
legand! i casually met chad at my music collage today. he came in at the end on my drum class and spoke to us for half and hour and jammed out a few beats!
