This is why Chad is the best. He is a great drummer and also takes time out of his busy schedule to help other drummers play his parts. He is about sharing and learning, not about showing off and making lots of money. He will always have my respect and as long as he is the drummer for BB I will always buy their albums the second they come out.
I think it's awesome that you take the time to show us this stuff not many drummers break down the way they play things and most of the time you have to guess how they played it. So thank you I have learned a lot from your videos
I've been always a fan of you the very first time I heard the Diary of Jane. That has driven me to listen more to BB songs because of your style. Thanks for inspiring me and the rest of the drummers who got inspired by your licks too! ...and this HOW-TO videos??? WTF? This made you extremely an "IDOL" and someone to look up to! You are so kind and very generous to share your talent and inspire us more! I wanna be like you someday, chad! More power to you and your band! -Zen from Philippines
@nukethadrums3 I was lucky enough to see them at their last touring show before their Hiatus.... chad a mic and was singing harmonies. With bubblegum on tow. Chad = \m/
i just got one question to ask if you could post. The forearm choke you do in the high-hat is pretty smooth, question is how are you doing it. I see it being done but the vid just shows that quick 2 seconds of you playing.
@Reilloc13 inconsequential? my comment was feedback for chad to try and slow down some parts so i could follow them and understand what hes trying to teach. you might say it wasn't that fast but every drummer has his/her own pace of learning.
Man so awesome to have your lesson, thanks so much! I could play Breaking benjamin until So Cold lol, and i will not bow is so epic, this drums blew my mind since the first time, and i thought "i'll never be able to play it" lol Now i'm inspired to learn more. Which cymbals you recorded it? (So articulated and clear no harshness, great drum mixing this album) Cheers from Brazil!
In my mind the most interesting drummers for me since the 90s (me personally): Live, Breaking Benjamin, Incubus, Our Lady Peace, No Doubt, Creed/Alter Bridge (more so during Creed), somewhat Silverchair, etc. There's a lot of similarities there in their interesting timings, fills and little bits of flavor they add in. Nothing is really a straight boring beat, unless it needs to be. It's always interesting but not overdone or too much.
@ilovesabian1n1 The phrase you are looking for is "too fast" instead of "to fast". See? Other people on the internet can nitpick inconsequential stuff too. =P
@ilovesabian1n1 My mistake, I thought you were incorrectly criticizing him by saying that he was playing ahead of the music. Saying he "went too fast" doesn't typically seem like you're saying slow down the lesson, it really seemed more like you were trying to say he was playing it wrong. Oh well, simple mistake take care and keep jamming.

If you listen to "You", when they repeat lyric "you" a bunch of times at the end, the higher vocals are Chad...Or so I've been told

You are officially the coolest person I don't know.
He seems really cool. Great drummer.
i think he sings pretty good :)
Man I really think it's cool you take the time to explain how you play the songs and your tricks of the trade. Keep the video's coming..
