i;m 13 and i have benn drumming for a year. most evenings i spend looking at ways that i can improve my style of playing and watching drummers such as yourself and cobus. this is by far my favourite drum session that i have found. keep drumming YOUR AMAZING!!
Hey Chad or his better half! Just want to say that part where Chad (or you lol) alternated from doubles to singles playing the same pattern was very smooth and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, we're all so grateful you take the time to put some of these vids up. Cheers from Australia.
Il say it before and il say it again, the most under rated drummer in the world, my personal favourite and i have seen all the 'greats' like Portnoy, Peart ect but theirs something about Chad that smashes them, on both a technical level and a charisma one, just my opinion though! keep the videos coming!!! They inspire me everyday :)
i like your technique and style, what metod did you used to learn? i think that they are more than 1 metods. you are amazing drummer, congratulations from spain
I am deployed overseas and I just stumbled upon your videos. I am a big fan of chad smith and am now becoming a fan of your style. I enjoy funky beats and knowing when to play advanced fills and when to play the pocket. All I have out here is two sticks and a practice pad, but have about 4 grand worth of DW gear waiting in storage back in the states. Did you release your instructional video? I have been looking for something to increase my hand speed.
Chad...may I ask you an honest question? How do you play that one part in the video? You know that one part where you beat those drums and im left paralyzed due to my mind being blown so ruthlessly? Jesus! I mean the most minimalist of strokes to the tasteful use of unorthodox sticking methods leading up to the absolute brutality at the end! Simply genius good sir. Reminded me of Dennis Chambers but in your own style. Youre one drummer I can never get tired of. Thank you for the inspiration man.
hey man :) thanks for all the vids :) appreciate them. can you possibly message me and tell me how you got where you are :) i would love to know cause its what i want to be when im older :) thanks for everything
@Baggsiv Something related to your roots, some "heavy" jazz or funk. I don't know if heavy is the correct word to describe it. Jing Chi, or Lee Ritenour if you know them. You know what... Do a cover of a song YOU love. hahah
I assume all that is going on in the headphones is a metronome.. The more I watch of you drumming the more and more up the "Best Drummer" line you climb As for a cover, if you've ever seen VaDrum (I assume you have) could you do something similar to him, such as taking a classical song and writing a drum line over it? I think that'd be pretty bad ass
@luccchat he brotha ... My instructional dvd is coming out in DEC and it shows all my secrets and techniques I do to get speed . You should check it out God bless
I don't want to see Chad cover anything. I want to see more of his work. Chad, I love the video lessons on some of the BB songs. I'm still trying to work out "Breath". I'd like to see a biopic or something. Anything to give scrubs like me some hope. How long you been playing? Most important basic skills to master? What music styles to learn? That kind of shit.
chad szeliga = perfect blend of power and groove drumming
