@@kirstonemmm1423 yes. Some even write out a song structure so they have something to follow. Chad just took everything to a different level by jumping in on the first listen without completing it or taking any notes.
He hears only the music no drums and has to fill in the drum part which is damn amazing!! the amount of musical talent you have to have to be able to fill in the blanks on the fly like that… He’s next level.
I've watched a lot of these Drumeo vids but Chad was the first person i saw just jump in and start playing. Usually drummers will listen to the whole track at least once before playing it. He's got incredible instincts and music knowledge to be able to anticipate where the song is going.
Agreed. Chad has instinctual understanding of music composition. Follow the basics of intro, verse, chorus, bridge…. And then follow emphasis points. You see Chad listening to the bass, lead guitar and lead vocal. Chad misses first emphasis point but picks it right up and listens for it. Phenomenal musicianship. ✌️❤️
It amazes me how musicians minds work they can hear an isolated track and sync up with the guitar parts and the singing part and not step all over the rest of the band while compimenting the other instruments. Thats why they are the professionals.
This is INSANE that he hadn't heard this song before and just picked it up from picking up the timing. Almost sounds EXACTLY how Shannon plays the song. Jared Leto brother is called Shannon
The key with great musicians is that they are always listening. He figured out it was in 3 and took basic song structure to create his cues in the song
Chad is a beast. He could have listened to the whole thing, taken notes, had multiple attempts, but no. A few measures in he just jumps in and crushes it.
Drumeo does this format it's great, drummer listens to the track without drums several times then gives their own version. Lots of drummers take notes or get little riffs prepared. Chad smith is wild, he just jumps in halfway through the song with no prep.
As a musician of 30yrs its so awesome to get your instrument and freestyle something and it fitting so good on a song is better than any drug ever, and it reminds you why you learned in the first place......because its damn fun!!!
He’s my dude. First time hearing this song, he hears it without the drums and plays it almost perfectly. Jared Leto (30 seconds to mars) has a reaction video posted. It’s awesome ❤
you should definitely check out some of the other drumeo videos. I recommend "Megadeth Drummer Hears Paramore For The First Time" and "Megadeth Drummer Hears "Mr. Brightside" For The First Time"
You gotta check out Tosh Peterson's episode on Drumeo. Had never heard of him before. When they said he tours with Kid Laroi and MGK I set my expectations pretty low, but his performance on a song he never heard blew my mind. Sick drummer
They have completely awesome videos!! I think you misunderstood. He wasn’t hearing the drums. Just us. The version given to him was drumless. Like the drummer from Megadeth😂{ I edoing Mr Brightside ( ruclips.net/video/tbUYVcaF_l0/видео.htmlsi=ItR-Nrbp3bkaBIAR ) and he just did Paramour Or Nandi Bushell (13/14 year old girl who kicks butt). Or Nic Collins, yes !! THAT “Collins”. He drums for his dad now. It’s definitely a channel worth checking out!! ❤
That's funny you mention that Chad has a drum off against Will on vid. Also there's a reaction from the Leto brothers hearing Chad play. Another great Drumeo is Jess Bowen hears RATM for the first time.
Nandi Bushell on drumeo is a fun one (two actually) also....Chad and Will Ferrell had a drum off as well , fyi...spoiler alert , Chad won, but Will can play
You need to do "Gospel Legend hears Iron Maiden for the First Time!" This bassist kills this!!!! It shows how brilliant you have to be to do session work. I have NEVER seen somebody do what he does. He just about matches the original.
The other big one (one of anyway) is Mr Brightside. I can never remember the fella’s name but he was absolutely phenomenal and changed the entire vibe of the song (in the best way 😊). You may enjoy it
It was Dirk Verbeuren from Megadeth, he did Mr. Brightside. Fucking genius 🔥 Also, just about few weeks ago Dirk did the same "first time hearing" Drummeo video on a Paramore song, he also killed it 🤘
I’m sure it’s been mentioned but you gotta check the drum off between him and will Ferrell on one of those nightly shows they did it and hilarious doppelgänger
As has been mentioned, there’s a great late show skit with Will Ferrell and him that’s worth a react for sure. Also, if you like the drum stuff, I would recommend something from Meshuggah….probably the drum cam vid for Bleed
If you liked that, do Nandi Bushnell and Twisted Sister. Also, there is a funny late night skit on one of the talk shows where Chad and Will Ferrell come out together.
It is his vast experience of playing that enables him to just run with it, but it is incredible how good he does it! A similar one is the Dream Theater keyboardist hears Alicia Keys for the first time, oh my goodness! ruclips.net/video/aFdOW1Ql3L4/видео.htmlsi=P0gIZMK5AfOaUGmj
I can understand your reaction since you are a singer, because when recording a song, a singer was the last part to put in the recording, so every tracks already in place (the drum, the bass, the guitar, etc instrument), so the singer just need to sing a long an almost complete tracks. But for a drummer you hear nothing except a guitar tracks and sometimes with a vocal (usually as a basic guidelines)..so yeah, chad here is listening to a drumless track bro...incase you didn't noticed the text explaining in the beginning..
Needs more cowbell. I’m not sure how talented the drummer is in 30 seconds to mars compared to Chad Smith. I love Chili Peppers. So, this is probably a cake walk for him. I think his is better than the original. This is the only song I know from 30 seconds to mars to be honest.
I like a lot of your vids, but without being rude, this is not on your wheelhouse and was uncomfortable to watch.. Watch the other reactions, yo will know what I mean, I will still watch your channel, this is one you shouldn't of done as an avid watcher of yours
This is not impressive at all. How do you think drum parts are written??? I don't know why this dumb video is so popular. It's a simple song to play in a simple time signature. Any drummer who has been playing for a while can do this. You can see his instincts for changes are sharp though from playing so long. Seriously though this is is how drum parts are written. Its about as easy a song as they could have given him. There are probably 50 Chili Pepper songs in the same time signature.
He’s hearing NO DRUMS he’s ad libbing the whole song.
Drumeo has a lot of these kinds of vids. The drummers don't get to hear the drums and get to write their own part. Chad just jumped in which is nuts
They are brilliant
I genuinely don't understand how so many of these reactors can't read what is on the screen in front of them.
They usually do a listen through first, right? I'm aware of these vids but haven't seen a great deal.
@@kirstonemmm1423 yes. Some even write out a song structure so they have something to follow. Chad just took everything to a different level by jumping in on the first listen without completing it or taking any notes.
Crazy that he didnt listen all the way through, but still picked up the changes flawlessly.
He hears only the music no drums and has to fill in the drum part which is damn amazing!! the amount of musical talent you have to have to be able to fill in the blanks on the fly like that… He’s next level.
this is what happens when Talent, Experience, and intuition are all completely in sync.

I love the way you can see his enjoyment & respect for his weapon of choice. 💜

You need to react to "Tonight Show Drum-Off: Will Ferrell vs. Chad Smith" it is amazing lol
Came here to comment the same!
@@eves1503 You have excellent taste
Me too and they are hilarious and really ham it up that they look a like. 😂😂😂
Absolutely! It's comedy gold
I one thousand % back this request!!!
That "different cocaine" is called Limitless lol
They give you a drumless track. The mad thing with gigaChad is that he goes in head 1st with no notes or anything and nails it everytime.
Chad Smith is a extremely talented drummer..extremely talented 😊❤
This is INSANE that he hadn't heard this song before and just picked it up from picking up the timing. Almost sounds EXACTLY how Shannon plays the song. Jared Leto brother is called Shannon
This was already a great song. Chad smith just made it a masterpiece. He is the spice that this song needed.
The key with great musicians is that they are always listening. He figured out it was in 3 and took basic song structure to create his cues in the song
2:44 NO he is not! It was just written on the screen!
Chad is a beast. He could have listened to the whole thing, taken notes, had multiple attempts, but no. A few measures in he just jumps in and crushes it.
I love this reaction!!! Thanks bro, Chad Smith is a legend!!

There are a number of these videos, by various drummers, and all are amazing. It would be great to see you do more of them. Great reaction.
It takes something fierce to play drums. Love this.
30 Seconds to Mars front man is Jared Leto.
He’s my dude. First time hearing this song, he hears it without the drums and plays it almost perfectly. Jared Leto (30 seconds to mars) has a reaction video posted. It’s awesome ❤
7:16 Might as well watch him vs. Will Ferrell drum off.
He cannot hear the drums. THAT is why it's amazing.
you should definitely check out some of the other drumeo videos. I recommend "Megadeth Drummer Hears Paramore For The First Time" and "Megadeth Drummer Hears "Mr. Brightside" For The First Time"
Most people that do this listen to the track all the way through and make notes. Chad just listened to 30 seconds of it and went for it 🤣
10:29 He did an SNL skit with Will Ferrell about looking alike. Lol
I saw a clip on IG of this and instantly downloaded the song Idk how I missed this song it's great
This Is War is another fantastic song by 30STM
You gotta check out Tosh Peterson's episode on Drumeo. Had never heard of him before. When they said he tours with Kid Laroi and MGK I set my expectations pretty low, but his performance on a song he never heard blew my mind. Sick drummer

Like the drummer from Megadeth😂{
I edoing Mr Brightside ( ruclips.net/video/tbUYVcaF_l0/видео.htmlsi=ItR-Nrbp3bkaBIAR ) and he just did Paramour
Or Nandi Bushell (13/14 year old girl who kicks butt). Or Nic Collins, yes !! THAT “Collins”. He drums for his dad now.
It’s definitely a channel worth checking out!! ❤
"There is a different kind of cocaine to do this" - haha ha epic reaction
I'm just catching up to Chad smith in2024 man what a beast!
That's funny you mention that Chad has a drum off against Will on vid.
Also there's a reaction from the Leto brothers hearing Chad play.
Another great Drumeo is Jess Bowen hears RATM for the first time.
Nandi Bushell on drumeo is a fun one (two actually) also....Chad and Will Ferrell had a drum off as well , fyi...spoiler alert , Chad won, but Will can play
Nandi's is a great one to check out.
you can see, how he changes the track in milliseconds.
thats the most interesting as for me.
Bro you should do the SNL skit of Chad and Will Ferrell having a drum off 🤣
This man is amazing. TF is this monster? What band he play for?
RHCP
The fact that the drummer can do this is amazing but let’s also talk about Jared’s vocals, I mean come on guys
You need to do "Gospel Legend hears Iron Maiden for the First Time!" This bassist kills this!!!! It shows how brilliant you have to be to do session work. I have NEVER seen somebody do what he does. He just about matches the original.
He’s fr in the zone rn
The other big one (one of anyway) is Mr Brightside. I can never remember the fella’s name but he was absolutely phenomenal and changed the entire vibe of the song (in the best way 😊). You may enjoy it
It was Dirk Verbeuren from Megadeth, he did Mr. Brightside. Fucking genius 🔥
Also, just about few weeks ago Dirk did the same "first time hearing" Drummeo video on a Paramore song, he also killed it 🤘
@@olegizdna Excellent ☺️👍👍
He and Will had a drum off on Jimmy Fallon. It was great!
He and will did a drum- off 😂🎉
You have to see some of drumeo’s other videos of this type to understand just how well Chad did here. He really did nail it
"So he's hearing the drums...." -- Seriously??
"YOU ALWAYS NEED A LITTLE MORE COW BELL!!!"
"so he's hearing the drums" While literally it explained he is hearing a drum LESS track....🤣
Yeah it's crazy how some people just either can't read, or focus for a few seconds, lmao
What’s even more impressive is doing that at 60 +
it is pretty amazing how he can pick up on things soo quick like that. I can do that with a few things but not like him lol
The drumeo video of chad Smith explaining he did the drum track for a dua lipa song
Megadeath drummer hears mr brightside is unreal too
I’m sure it’s been mentioned but you gotta check the drum off between him and will Ferrell on one of those nightly shows they did it and hilarious doppelgänger
As has been mentioned, there’s a great late show skit with Will Ferrell and him that’s worth a react for sure. Also, if you like the drum stuff, I would recommend something from Meshuggah….probably the drum cam vid for Bleed
You have to watch his drum off with will Ferrell, I think it was on Jimmy Fallon
Yes, definitely I was just gonna come in on that
If you liked that, do Nandi Bushnell and Twisted Sister. Also, there is a funny late night skit on one of the talk shows where Chad and Will Ferrell come out together.
Have you seen the Chad smith, will Ferrell drum off?
Chad is not hearing any drums … just the song without the drums. He has to try and guess the drum section.
He’s been doing it longer than we’ve been alive lol
"there's a special kind of cocaine you need to do something like this"
Adderall, the word you're looking for is Adderall lol
Ha second vid of yours ive watched and another one of my favs ha! We are on the same page. great vid. TY
You gotta check out the Will Ferrell and Chad Smith drum off on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It’s hilarious! 😂
High talent level and decades of experience.
lol the intro was so fucking funny!
It is his vast experience of playing that enables him to just run with it, but it is incredible how good he does it!
A similar one is the Dream Theater keyboardist hears Alicia Keys for the first time, oh my goodness!
ruclips.net/video/aFdOW1Ql3L4/видео.htmlsi=P0gIZMK5AfOaUGmj
True master drummer.
I love these Drumeo videos. Larnell Lewis has been on it a couple of times and he's just so incredible!
Mike portnoy doing pneuma on here is INSANE
masterclass
He did pretty good. The actual band has Jared Leto as singer who is a great actor. Too many movies to even say!
63 yo. 45 years drumming. TELL ME EXPERIENCE DONT MATTER !! Im soooo sorry, this kicks the original in the ...

I would love to see Chad do one of these with an Electric Callboy song.
You HAVE to react to El Estepario Siberiano’s deum covers. You’ll see why the guy has over 4 million subscribers
Wait until you see the SNL with Chad and Will.
So you should do the reaction of the will Farrell chad.Smith drum battle
He is hearing a drum less track if you read the captions.
It said it in the caption, he is listening to a drumless track, no drums at all…
it seems like people cant read anymore
he is the real deal
Holy. Shit. 😮🤯
Dude. He's got another one from the same session. Check it out.
Why do so many reactors miss the obvious text that states he never hears the drum track?
Please react to Lorna Shore to the Hellfire if you want some WILD vocals and HEAVY drums. 😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥
You need to the listen the other Chad's Drumeo session for Bring Me The Horizon
Fire 🔥
It's time he goes down the Sleep token rabbit hole.... Do it trust me....
Please don’t burp on camera 🤢, but other than that, great reaction vid!
Want something different, Home Free - Man of Constant Sorrow
check out sleep token 2 playing higher
😂😂😂😂 There's a different kind of cocaine to be able to do this. 😂😂😂😂😂 where does one find this cocaine? Asking for a friend

he hears only the music and vocals no drums
Danny Carey is the goat on drums for sure
Stopped watching when he says “so he’s hearing the drums .” No man. Read the caption at the bottom.
Yeah nah
He knows the song
