The only true Live drummer. I'm a big fan of rock music, but in my opinion, this is the finest example of a drummer adding life to a tune. One of the biggest reasons why it works as well as it does.
Thanks Chad! Awesome song! I absolutely love the transitions from the hi-hat to the snare on that song 🥁😁 I was 15 when that song came out. Playing along to it and all the songs on Throwing Copper helped me grow as a drummer.
Honestly one of my favorite drummers and this song would not be what it is without that drummer beat. There is so much emotion to it and I can’t describe it
Thank you. When we wrote these songs we would literally get chills from them. Thats how we knew it was a good song! Thanks for listening and checking out my channel!
Thank you so much for these videos. They are so great to watch. What an amazing song. Never realized all the dynamics of drumming in this song until this video. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I'm so happy to have landed on your channel!!! We play this tune but I've been playing it wrong all along... DOH!!! Especially the middle bridge section.
Great video Chad! You are still such a great drummer. I really hope some day to see you perform with LIVE again. Thanks for these videos keep em coming!
I've always wanted to see you play this. There is never any good shots of you in concert footage. I've always loved the syncopated groove between the toms and the ride. Beautifully done Chad.
I’m in a band that’s learning an hour set of LīVE tunes and your videos are invaluable! Great sound and video angles to learn from. I’m a huge fan of your playing and seeing the energy you bring to these songs is killer!
Thank you! Tons of great tunes to choose from and your drum parts are a blast to play. I’m exhausted after rehearsals and love it 🤘🏻 Excited to bring this project to the Denver scene. I teach some private lessons on the side and your videos are inspiring some young drummers too! Thanks for taking the time to post 👍🏻
Thank you, Chad. You’ve been one of my biggest drumming influences. Thank you for all the great music and also thank you for stopping for a picture after the midtown music festival in Atlanta in the early 2000s. I appreciate it. Love the channel.
Your playing to the feel of a song is impeccable. The amount of energy and emotion is exactly what is called for. No more, no less. You're one of my favorites to watch and learn from along side JP Gaster
Great to see you do this Chad, thank you! I'm from the UK and have seen the band on a number of occasions over the years. Throwing Copper will always be one of my favourite albums which I still play regularly. You're an awesome drummer and thanks for all the great music over the years 🤘
Video idea...you should do reaction videos where you watch Live videos and provide commentary. For example LC at Woodstock 99. Love to hear what that was like!
Great video. I’m a guitar player and really appreciate how much tension you build through your drumming in this song. It sets the mood and is great. Loved seeing you in 2018 and hope I see you again one day.
I watch a LOT of drumming videos, the algorithm led me to a video I thought was youtuber covering a Live song (It was White Discussion). I commented "Wow you nailed this" only to quickly delete my comment when I realized you literally recorded the album part. 😂 I'm gonna double down and say I was impressed because you're writing, dynamics and timing are f'ing brilliant man, your parts are sizzled into my brain. I was lucky enough to have a buddy tell me to buy a CD called Mental Jewelry and that led me to see you play at least 13 times Live. (Pun intended) Not sure if you take requests but Dam at Otter Creek is an incredible example of playing for the song. Thanks for your contributions to the band and the recent stuff (complete new band) is Total BS.
I've always loved that funky shuffle on Voodoo Lady. Please cue that one up, though I understand you'd prefer to avoid the deep cuts for perfectly good reasons. In any event, love the work.
Crazy how I just listened to this song and I was like I absolutely love the drums in this, I wonder what it looks like, ( *youtube algorithm* ) here’s a video posted 1 month ago from the man himself Love it 😂
Thank you. It is inspired by the playing of a guy name Jay Sorentino from Lancaster who drummed in a band called Suddenly Tammy! His sister Beth sang and played piano and a guy named Ken was on bass. Very cool band and worth looking up and checking out.
One of the best songs, on one of the best albums, played by one of the best drummers of the 1990's. Saw you in NYC on the 120 minutes tour. I was already a fan though.
Now that is a blast from the past. I got called “The Elvis of Drumming” after that show in a review. 😂 I assume that’s good. Thank you so much for being a fan and watching my vids!
Hey there. I have two more recorded just waiting on the boys to get them edited (cameras). So pretty soon! And I will of course record more as well. I appreciate you asking and watching!!
@@chadgraceyLIVE obsessed! Pandora played one of your songs and I had been seeing Chad Smith all over yt so I thought i’d google Live’s drummer. You’re not monetizing? Happy Birthday, btw!
i've heard lots of acoustic versions on guitars, and they were good, some were really great... but in my opinion, the song is only really complete with the drums. and your drumming sir in particular, is what takes the song to a whole new dimension that swells with all the feelings. thirty years on, it continues to resonate and evoke emotions and thinking. haunting.
Thank you so much. Funny the song originally started with drums in the guitar intro. It was in pre-production for recording that Jerry Harrison (producer and guitarist of Talking Heads) told me to lay out for a bit and then come in after some vocal passes. Anyway it’s a cool story. 😁
Thank you chad you are a amazing drummer I hope I can be as good as you one day lightning crashes is one of my most favourite songs ever it would be so amazing if maybe you could play drums for my version of it maybe one day thanks for you’re awesome work 🤘
What up! I dont know about a lesson but if you want to come on my podcast @thegracioustwo as a guest and ask me questions, we can do that! Let me know.
Such a master class! Chad I was looking for $hit Towne in your videos. If I missed it please point me to it, otherwise what are the chances you might rock that one out for us? Another display of your craft. Appreciate all these videos. Thank you.
As a drummer and fellow York’er, I can’t count how many times I’ve drummed along with your music, starting with Mental Jewelry (my favorite album to drum along with. Soooo damn good!!). Really hope to see you behind the Live kit again someday. There’s only one drummer for Live and that’s you. On a more humorous note, you gotta be more selective in your choice of friends…that Eric Miller dude is super shady! Haha!
@@chadgraceyLIVE Fun fact: this was the first song I found that "the drummer used rods"on. after that was Grohl's unplugged performance haha. Always have enjoyed what you did on this, it's rad being able to tell you after all these years!
The only true Live drummer. I'm a big fan of rock music, but in my opinion, this is the finest example of a drummer adding life to a tune. One of the biggest reasons why it works as well as it does.
Thank you sir! I agree.

Love this! Thank you for sharing and listening!
Pure awesomeness once again! Please keep them coming
You know I will! Thank you.
The drumming on these songs and especially your use of the snare is inspiring. Nothing like it then, or since.
More videos please!
Thank you!! I appreciate it.
Honestly one of my favorite drummers and this song would not be what it is without that drummer beat. There is so much emotion to it and I can’t describe it

Thank you sir! Yep. It starts super low and ends loud haha
Excellent work Chad. Really appreciate your work, big fan. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for listening and watching! 😁😁

So tasty. That whole album is a Masterclass in dynamics
Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to have landed on your channel!!! We play this tune but I've been playing it wrong all along... DOH!!! Especially the middle bridge section.
Hey there. This is exactly why I made the channel! So you can see how I do it! Thank you for watching!
This guy, inspired me to start playing drums, when I was young, amazing drummer
Why thank you! I’m happy that you found my page!
I've loved the drums on this track since before I'd even sat behind a kit...
Sounds like some Steve Smith in your drumming. Well done!
Wow! Thank you so much!!
AWESOME!!.. love that first kick drum lick,.. completely changes the feel of the song.
Thank you! It's all about building up the parts in this song.
Great video Chad! You are still such a great drummer. I really hope some day to see you perform with LIVE again. Thanks for these videos keep em coming!
Maybe one day!
I’ve been waiting for this!! Thanks Chad!!
Hope you like it!
I've always wanted to see you play this. There is never any good shots of you in concert footage. I've always loved the syncopated groove between the toms and the ride. Beautifully done Chad.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the first time I've came across this video and am a massive LIVE fan.
Absolutely incredible Chad....so good!
Thank you! Im glad you found it.
Yes 🙌 this is so good!
Thank you for sharing ❤
You're so welcome!

@@j-austindrumstudio3641 Very cool to hear!! Thanks for using them in your lessons.
Amazing, one of my favorite bands and songs ❤
Thank you!

Very cool! Thank you!
Perfection.... I love these videos where you can see the original drummer on a song playing it all the way through...
Glad you enjoy it!
I have always wondered about how you played the changeup in this tune, now it makes complete sense! You’re the 🐐! Thank you so much!
This is exactly why I am doing these. You can what im doing every step of the way. Thanks for watching!
The drums in this song are so complex and unique. This is by far my favourite drum song ever because of that unique beat. Amazing.
Wow. I appreciate this! Thank you.
Great to see you do this Chad, thank you! I'm from the UK and have seen the band on a number of occasions over the years. Throwing Copper will always be one of my favourite albums which I still play regularly. You're an awesome drummer and thanks for all the great music over the years 🤘
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
Your playing on this track made me learn drums!!
Love it!! Thank you for checking it out!
Just discovered this channel and subbed loving it..🥁
Welcome aboard!
Video idea...you should do reaction videos where you watch Live videos and provide commentary. For example LC at Woodstock 99. Love to hear what that was like!
Wow! Great idea! Now I’ll have to learn how to do it!😂😂
Cool to be able to see you perform the drum parts that you developed for each song! Hoping to see the band play together!
Awesome to see a master at work showing how to play the best song ever
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.
Great video. I’m a guitar player and really appreciate how much tension you build through your drumming in this song. It sets the mood and is great. Loved seeing you in 2018 and hope I see you again one day.

Hi. It’s all good. I’m the guy in the back! Most people have no idea what I look like. 😁 I appreciate it and thank you for watching!
Brilliant! 🎶 🥁
Thank you!
Only missing the "GRRAAAACCCEEEEY" after "...an old mother dies..."
Thanks Chad
Yes! haha
I've always loved that funky shuffle on Voodoo Lady.
Please cue that one up, though I understand you'd prefer to avoid the deep cuts for perfectly good reasons.
In any event, love the work.
Im getting into the deep cuts soon. VooDoo lady would be cool. I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Crazy how I just listened to this song and I was like I absolutely love the drums in this, I wonder what it looks like,
( *youtube algorithm* ) here’s a video posted 1 month ago from the man himself
Love it 😂
Gotta love how technology works!! Glad you found me. Thank for listening!
One of my top altimeter favorites songs!
Thanks Tommy! Great to talk to you and Erin!
@chadgraceyLIVE yea ypu as well man!!! We are gonna have to get a couple drum sticks from ya oneday lol
I always thought that middle part was so creative and perfect drumwise
Thank you. It is inspired by the playing of a guy name Jay Sorentino from Lancaster who drummed in a band called Suddenly Tammy! His sister Beth sang and played piano and a guy named Ken was on bass. Very cool band and worth looking up and checking out.
Is there are chance you can post the drums isolated? I'd love to play the bass along with your videos! 200k views?! Nice!
Hi. Hmmm I hadn’t even thought of that. I’m sure my engineer could do that but I have to ask. I appreciate the question!
One of the best songs, on one of the best albums, played by one of the best drummers of the 1990's. Saw you in NYC on the 120 minutes tour. I was already a fan though.

This is the heartbeat of LIVE right here, that cover band out there now wants your cash.
Thank you Bobby!
Hey chad
When can we expect your next video?
These are awesome. I look forward to seeing them
Hey there. I have two more recorded just waiting on the boys to get them edited (cameras). So pretty soon! And I will of course record more as well. I appreciate you asking and watching!!
At last, the finest 💎.

Hope you like it!

Right now slim BUT I will try to get around to all of the songs.
What-no flams? xD fantastic. Covered this with pencils on a practice pad every day summer of 94
Very cool. Thank you for watching!
Dude! I wish I could take one lesson from you! It'd be a dream to bash away and talk drums with you!
What up! I dont know about a lesson but if you want to come on my podcast @thegracioustwo as a guest and ask me questions, we can do that! Let me know.
@chadgraceyLIVE ill write you on insta!
Hey chad.
When are you doing your next video.
I'm on pins and needles waiting.
I have a couple more in the can that I'll be putting out soon and I need to record some more soon!. Thank you for watching!
Such a master class! Chad I was looking for $hit Towne in your videos. If I missed it please point me to it, otherwise what are the chances you might rock that one out for us? Another display of your craft. Appreciate all these videos. Thank you.

Thank you for this. I genuinely appreciate every word. As far as Eric Miller....He is pretty sus....😂😂😂😂
Nice!!✌🏻❤️😊
Thanks 😁
Love it
I appreciate it!
Hey chad what is your favourite song to play?
If you haven't played it yet please do for your next video.
I have done my favs. White Discussion, Lakinis and Iris are my favs to play. Also love Freaks.
Freakin awesome. What ride cymbal is that? Zildjian K Custom 21 inch?
K Custom but 20" Good guess!!
this slaps!!
Brings back memories for me. Question, how old were you when you started playing drums?
I was 12 when I got my first set and starting playing.
You have to make the video of Top.
Its on the list...😁
Please play Turn My Head!!! And Pillar of Davidson!!
Those are two I def want to get to!
Can you do "CENTURY" next pls. Mr Cracey. Thanks
I was listening to it a few weeks ago. I will get to it at some point. Thanks for listening!
The song that bought your house? But seriously, what a song..
Ha. Thank you.
@@chadgraceyLIVE Fun fact: this was the first song I found that "the drummer used rods"on. after that was Grohl's unplugged performance haha. Always have enjoyed what you did on this, it's rad being able to tell you after all these years!
🤟🥁🤟
Chad, please you please do something from The Turn, maybe We Open The Door?? 🤞🤞
It’s a possibility. I have so much to do…😁😁
You don't play Pearl drums anymore?
No. Not since 2018 when I switched to DW.

Thank you! It’s in the list. I appreciate you checking out my channel!
Shit Towne when?
I'll be getting to it. 😁😁😁
