I have played professionally, section, studio,and tour for about 25 years. Love Chad (always fun) . Not surprised how accurate he was. Good job Chad, great song
@@jimjungle8488 she listened to the whole song before playing. Chad didn't. Not even close to being compared. But she did great. Just can't be compared. He played literally blind. She listened to the entire song first.
@@Mark-cf5od and? jimjungle didn't make ANY comparative criticism about their performances at all. they simply said to go check out her performance. why did you assume it was some kind of one-upmanship or anything?
Not all of them do a bunch of takes. Everyone else listens to the whole song yeah, but several of the more veteran drummers have done a single run of the song from start to finish in a single take.
Nobody has done what Chad did, so far the most outstanding performance because he did it as the song played for the first time for him w/out the drum track
@4:20 I think his stick breaking gave the song a nice breath❤with the bass drum coming through more. It really prepped and reinforced the lead singer’s climax; pounding home the point. 🥁🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🎸🎧
If I heard correctly when Chad tried out for drummer Flea looked at him and said keep up, started playing his guitar and Chad played the drums and thats how he auditioned. I could be wrong but i have heard that from several sources.
I love seeing people's reactions to this because a lot of laypeople miss the fact that Chad isn't just a skilled drummer, he has such a depth of knowledge about composition he could correctly predict the structure of the song and the musical arrangement. I think there are a lot of incredible drummers in the world, but I've never seen one who could get this close to the original on the first try simply through instinct and and based on a remarkable understanding of composition.
Even before this video came out, I had thought for a long time that Chad was an underrated drummer. Not necessarily from what he has done with RHCP, but clinics and other videos. Glad this video is showing the non believers that he is actually a great drummer.
Umm... This doesn't require that much "depth of knowledge" this is VERY typical song structure that you've heard thousand times. 😂I mean he's great but let's not go too hard on the dick riding.
As a born and raised drummer, I completely agree with you saying Flea wouldn't sound as good without Chad. Short story: Several years ago, my friends and I wanted to make a band, but there was already a better drummer, so they said to learn to play bass. I modeled my bass playing around the shared relationship between drums and bass with RHCP. Turned out that it didn't completely suck, and it made me a fairly decent bass player.
If you éver have the chance to listen to music wearing a haptic vest you'll experience music on a whole other level. Something magical happens when you not only hear the music but also féél it on your body.
wow will ferrell is really good at the drums :P nah that was insane he only took a few seconds to familiarise himself then just jumped in that is impressive
Why does everyone keep saying it's 6/8? It's in 3. And yes this is the music theory nerd taking the piss right now. It's in 3/4 not 6/8. The changes and buildup prove that this is more a waltz than a straight 1, 2 count. Which is how most everyone plays 6/8. Dividing each set of three into a single count. There is definitely a third beat in the phrase. So it's 3/4, not 6/8
@@TeamAurorapk Because when songs are in 6/8, most people play it as a 2 count. They split the 3's into one beat. Instead of 1 2 3 4 5 6 it becomes 1...2...with kind of a swaying feeling. It's hard to describe over text. This song has very much a 3 part phrase. There is a 3rd beat in the flow and it isn't just jumbled together. A traditional waltz is the best example. There is emphasis on the 3rd beat and it doesn't just get left behind in the pulse. There's a reason why it's 1 2 3 1 2 3 instead of 1...2... It's two measures of 3. Not one measure of 6/8 because of that last beat. Music theory for the win. Why did you think 3/4 existed as a time instead of everything just being 6/8?
@@Padfoot1985 I thank you for the detailed response, honestly though it seems I'm to ignorant of music theory and structure to understand the simple parts of music, I tried watching a video on the difference between the 2 but I found the same problem just never learned enough in the subject to even understand a conversation. thank you though!
Not just a drummer, a musician. This us unbelievable! 🔥

His feel for the music is just insane. The way he listened for the bridges and buildups and absolutely nailed them.
For anyone unfamiliar with this series, literally everyone else listens to the song, takes notes and does a bunch of takes
If you haven't already, check out Jess Bowen's one take on Rage...!

Awwww you looked away at the broken stick! I was waiting for that 😂
I did hahaha
It was such a delicate break like it just slid apart and didn’t miss a beat ❤😂😂😂
Nooooo!!! Looked away right then!!
Chad Smith conquers Thirty Seconds To Mars in under 30 seconds.❤🔥
Great comments - Chad's pocket, signature - got you a new subscriber. Thanks.

I think it's so cool that he just went with it. I love watching the people start off a bit nervous but as they ease into it & relax the magic happens

What many people also miss is Chad has been playing drums for 55 years.
Yes, this was different, and I liked it.

@@Jejunumonster I’d bet to you’re a pretty good bass player.👏👏👏

That was absolute bunkers imo. - wauw!!!😃🤯🤯💥🔥🔥🔥🤩😅 And fun!😆🤣😂😂😅
Great story there👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥳🤗
its confirmed he has got to have superpowers its just his own and he nailed it
I would love to see Stewart Copeland do this. Chad was incredible.
Continua o mesmo brincalhão. Minha juventude🇧🇷... É bom ver o Chad Smith ainda em boa forma. Excelente baterista 👌👋👋👋👋🇵🇹❤️👌😘
He predicts the changes well on this one. When you can do that, the rest is just filling it out.
Ele é fantástico 👌🇵🇹🇵🇹👋👋👋👋 Os anos passaram mas ele continua o mesmo e mais giro 👌🇵🇹👋👋👋
monster drummer.
would love to hear a battle between him and Igor from L&F.
Could you please react to Caleb H. doing a drum cover of Sliknot Disasterpiece Caleb will go down as best drummer ever
Will Ferrel can rock! 😜
😂
Have you seen them do a "drum off competition" together, I can't remember what night show it was on. It was hilarious
@@shirazzza yes it was
He is such a CHAD
I started to cut it off, not my style, but I stayed, and Chad Smith can really jam!
wow will ferrell is really good at the drums :P nah that was insane he only took a few seconds to familiarise himself then just jumped in that is impressive
He literally made a better version on one take.
Good job using all three sticks but what did you think the paper and pen were for?😂
This is better than the original I think
You should react to Harry Mack’s amen brother.

@@Padfoot1985 you’re right. 👍
how is 3/4 not the same as 6/8, I'm not a musician I'm ignorant. I'm assuming it's not similar to measurements in building.

Chad is my man crush
im not a fan of the song. i am a fan of that version 😂
No one can convince me that this isn't Will Ferrel.
His greatest role yet
