As soon as Chad said, "Oh, it's in 3." It was all over. He was locked in.
what's "it's in 3" mean? i'm sorry, i'm not a drummer
@@Andre-yd7jc Just a reference to the timing.
@@Andre-yd7jc it’s the time signature so this song is in 3/4 so each bar has 3 beats in it (you can count it 1,2,3,1,2,3…) whereas most songs tend to be in 4/4 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4…)
@@Andre-yd7jcin this song, you can literally say out loud “1 2 3” and the beat will repeat
Lmao. So true, bro went Thanos on this track. "Clicks".
I just love that usually, on that series, they let the drummer listen to the entire drumless track before they sit down and actually play to it so they can try and map a few things out beforehand but Chad decided to just skip all that and play to it on the fly 😅 That's why the whole crew looked so excited/ were laughing cause this doesn't normally happen lol
yeah the cut to the booth right as when i was ALSO going "HOLY CRAP" was perfect lol
YES! They're like fuck it!! Gooo!
Chad's been drumming since he was 7 and it truly shows. That drum kit is merely an extension of him. we are beyond fortunate to have lived as the same time him.
FINALLY!!! I have been looking all over RUclips for someone to do a react to this video who actually understands what they are watching. I have seen videos of people claiming to be drummers, producers, guitarist, and rappers react to this clip and you would think it was their first time ever hearing music. Thank you for giving such a detailed breakdown of what Chad was doing rather than just sit they and go “no way, there is now way he has never this song before!” Or “there is no way anyone could do that” and that’s the extent of your commentary input. You really know your stuff as a drummer and as a musician. Thanks for the great video!
Check out 66samus
There's another dude I saw react to it and had the same insight to Chad's ability of timing and reaction and corrections while keeping timing. I can't find that video anymore though. Edit: Found it, TheThirdErnest
yeeeesssss i agree! someone tells people that with time and experience you learn how things work! great job on the reaction and the comment! thank you both!
Agreed. I'm not a drummer and the last time i played music myself was trumpet in high school...but i was getting annoyed at how many people had such mild reactions to what he was doing. Anyone with a shred of musical ability should be able to see just how incredible this is.
Agree!!
Of all the reactions I have watched, this is the best reaction I have seen. A drummer who can break down and get deep into the performance covering all the intricacies that non-drummers may miss. Great reaction.
This! I keep watching drummer reactions too and this is the best so far. Subbed!
Hands down
Absolutely.. it's next level what Chad did with this
that part at 11:22 is even more impressive when you realize he thought it was going to continue to build and then caught himself at the last second.
Who are you??! This was by far the best breakdown of this video that I have seen. As someone that does not play the drums I could not wrap my brain around what he was doing but the fact that you could point out the areas where he was figuring things out on the fly really helped me appreciate what Will Farrell did in the original video. Thanks for this reaction.
He’s kinda a big deal
Such a chadism breaking the stick and just keeping on going, what a legend
The best part is Jared and Shannon reacted to this cover of Chad too! They both seemed to really approve of this version!
You can tell he's good just by the fact that he's nerding out about the drumkit. Fantastic reaction!
Exactly what I was thinking too! It makes me happy to see when someone needs out on anything they absolutely love! I do the same thing - not with instruments unfortunately, but definitely computer stuff 😅
I love the nerding out. You can tell he appreciated this.
I am "nerding" out with you. I love how he talks about the cymbals. I do not play drums or an instrument. I can appreciate his TALENT.
I think this is my favorite reaction so far. You really caught all the things I wanted others to catch. Also fun to learning new stuff from a drummer. Great job.
I love how drummers are the most synced people ever 🤣 coming from a guitar player, drummers are the most linked in people. The heart of the band 🤘🏽
As a gigging drummer, it's so refreshing/nice to listen to a drummer go through basically every thought I had watching this haha. From nerding out about the cymbals, setup, to making the same observations I made as far as how he "charted" out the song, to the transition choices he made... there's a lot of reaction channels out there, but it takes something special to make me feel like I'm nerding out with one of my friends, so thank you for that
I am not a drummer, but I absolutely love and appreciate music. I have watched that Chad video at least 10 times. I agree with the other comments that you seem to be the only one that reacted like we did! Like “woah! Did you see that? Did you hear that! This is amazing!” So, thank you for validating our feelings 😋
Chad just listens to the vocals and adjusts his playing to them, this is his whole secret of reading the entire song so clearly. He does exactly the same thing in RHCP live jams in those moments where he either poorly remembered a fragment in advance or completely missed the rehearsal, and this always helped him out))
The first time i watched this and heard him say "oh its in 3" almost instantly, i knew i was in for a ride
Great reaction my guy!! Finally someone who can actually see what Chad was doing on the fly and realize he didn’t hear it already and was adapting as he went. Loved seeing your appreciation for his talent and also his kit. It is a sick set up for sure. Definitely subbed!!
Yeah that part where he was like, “Oh he really is hearing this for the first time.”
Like getting to see a drummer that is experienced enough to tell that Chad wasn’t lying about never having heard this.
That’s the experience of nearly half a century of ELITE level drumming at play.
Since this vid dropped and people started reacting to it, I've been kinda shocked at how many claim to be drummers reacting. You, sir, are the real deal. Great breakdown. I enjoyed geeking to this with you.
Totally leaves you speechless! I know nothing about drumming and I never heard the song before and I have watched this 20 times. Obsessed
Okay, you completely and totally rock! Can't believe how many reactions I watched of this video and yours was the very best! For the first time you noticed and pointed out the parts that almost every other reactor totally missed. Thank you so much!!
The fact that Chad seamlessly started playing without any practice proves he is the best
God tier musicianship... love to see someone who is able to really apreciate it.. Thanks.
This makes me smile every time I watch it, He made a possible better drum line on the fly, what a legend
so glad you didn't end the reaction after he stopped playing 😅 great video and great feedback of your part!
Thank you! 😁
It’s great because, unlike others on the channel (not discrediting them at all), he didn’t listen to the entire track before he did this. He listened and figured out what he needed to know in like 30 seconds. It’s astonishingly good, especially knowing he’d never heard the full song before , but even more so when we know he just heard like 20-30 seconds of the track without drums. It’s amazing. You hear when he’s making decisions, but they’re basically the same decisions Shannon makes. Only at the end does he just decide to whatever/have fun.. and even then, it’s so DANG close to the original it’s almost crazy.
This is the best reaction. I caught him doing that roll at 16:25 when i first watched it and that was the part that stuck out the most to me. He immediately heard, replicated and incorporated it perfectly. That's what the other reactions didn't see - he hadn't heard it and didn't need to.
you nerding out about the types of Cymbals and specific drums he's using on his kit just is the *Chef's Kiss* best
He pretty much out geeks the rest to oblivion. It was impressive to see a showcase of someone's knowledge of drumming and drum kits.
I know absolutely nothing about drums but listening to how you analyze, interpret, and explain to your audience is fantastic! I can tell you are genuinely passionate and obviously super intelligent! favorite reaction so far! keep up the great work!
This is the most intellectual review i have reacted to. YOU ARE AMAZING!
I've seen so many of these videos, & you're the only one that I've seen break it down like you did. I'm musically illiterate, but even I knew this was amazing. Thanks to you, I now know why. 😂 Hands down the best reaction I've seen. Well done.
Good stuff! I love that Chad just went for it like 30 seconds in without waiting for a full listen. And was amazing! His intuition was spot-on.
By far the best reaction I’ve seen to this! You’ve GOT to react to more in this series! I’m obsessed 😍
6/8 is such a fun time signature to play... All the syncopation possibilities and just the feel is basically cathartic... So refreshing...
To echo what everyone else has said, thank you so much for your in depth and attentative reaction. Easily the best reaction for this and I’m so thankful for your insight!
I love this reaction video! You can tell this guy loves the drums. He knows the type of the cymbals. I love how he pauses the video to look and see what type of cymbals he playing on.
30 seconds to mars is such an underrated band, shannons drum tracks are just beautiful. They arent always overly complicated (though they can be, especially live) but they are often so unorthodox and unique that it is just a fun listen. You can tell he has a great feel for rhythm and how to give a song such an interesting drum line
I honestly watched that video over 50 times… I’m amazed every time!! He’s so so so talented
Favorite reaction! Appropriately impressed - several reacted very nonchalantly to what is an unbelievably amazing improv performance. I loved how you stopped and explained in all the right places, caught & expounded on moments that others glossed over, and were suitably in awe throughout.
Love hearing Chad Smith’s style come thru at certain parts, he definitely has his own style 😊
I agree with the comments. Best reaction. No one comments on how well he emulates the song by ear. 16:30 is a prime example. It is unreal
This was dope! You know your stuff, and I don't so I'm blindly following your explanation but it made sense. Great reaction
I love this reaction video bro. I'm a beginner drummer, and i knew this song and saw Chad played it for the first time and i was like blown away. He freaking killed it. Btw a new subscriber here. Love this kind of vids.
Found your channel when I watched your reaction to Blinding Lights and you are by far the most relatable reactor I've come across. I played drums for a few years in high school and watching these guys play blows me away. Watching you react the same way I do to the talent these drummers display, and getting excited at the little things you pick up is just so wholesome and entertaining. Keep it up my dude, love the content.
What I've been seeing in comments on other reaction videos is that most, if not all of the other drummers needed a first listening of the song before formulating how they thought the drumming would go. Chad is a beast.
Its great to see someone who can recall or even know the song enough to know where the blind drumming differs from the established drum parts.
I’ve seen probably 15-20 of these reaction videos, and it’s always a treat to watch. It was really cool to see you start highly technical, but as it progressed you got lost in the AMAZING talent of Chad Smith. Fun to watch!
SOMEONE THAT HAS A HIGH DRUM IQ and can actually see him fixing minnor misses and fills on the fly and not just calling it BULLSHIT
I just watched you react and loved your reaction to Chad and loved this so much to watch an actual drum nerd react to these type of videos and I truly enjoy how much you geek out over the details
This is the best reaction i ever heard about chad smiths the kill cover on a drumless track play through. So detailed
Chad is unREAL man !! There is a reason he’s in the “rock n roll hall of fame”
When I watched 11L23 in the OG version, I lost it. That was beyond insane!!!
This is definitely the best reaction to this video. I almost commented at the beginning to say I hate your friend and if you like chad smith then idk why you wouldn't want to watch the rest. Definitely do more drumeo videos, as a non musician, it's interesting to see the different styles and how people process music. It's nice to see somebody actually enjoy a video and be able to give insight on the specific topic. Too many reaction channels are just forced positive reactions to whatever the current clickbait video is.
watched close to, if not more than 10 reactions to this video and your reaction video is by far and away the best I've seen.
I love hearing your thoughts on this. This video is one of my favorites and got me into this series. It moved me and I’m not a drummer (I am a musician tho.) and I just love watching your commentary as well because it helps me understand the drummer thought process. Thank you for this.
Best reaction on youtube to this! Actually shows that you know drums because you catch stuff Chad does in the video and explain things. Love it. Also like how you nerd out on drum kits etc (I'm a guitarist, but this taught me some stuff about drums too, lol)
Chad Smith is so good with his ability to adapt to the changes throughout the song and making it all flow together as if it were the original part. He's insane. You should check out the Sleep Token Drumeo video in a video or even on your own time. If you haven't seen the video or heard the band before, the drummer has some really sick stylistic choices involving how he plays and puts together his parts. Definitely worth the watch.
It’s absolutely awesome seeing someone who’s really good at something, appreciate somebody else being amazing at what they do.
Im not a drummer, but I am a guitarists. Chad is my favourite drummer and one of the greatest drummers in music today IMO. He seems to often be overlooked when people discuss skill level and great drummers, so it was cool to hear how he is one of your favourite drummers. I also rate the drummer from Mastodon, although I dont listen to a heap of metal these days I love how he doesn't use blast beats very often, he just plays a groove and almost infuses jazz into their music.
Great video man, you have gained a fan.
I’ve seen nearly all reaction videos, but yours is definitely 💯 amazing content. You got a new follower!
Great reaction! Loved how you broke it down. Just starting my drumming journey and really have enjoyed your content. Subbed up!
I’ve watched this a few times and after the 1st time, I went to the original version to compare. Omfg I have tears today. There was so much emotion in Chad’s drumming. Plus the added bonus of not even listening to it in it’s entirety, just shows how much talent and musicality he has running through his veins. This brought me to your channel and you didn’t disappoint. Thank you for this gem.
It’s genuinely so soothing and delightful to see someone enthusiastic and joyous about something their passion
It was so EPIC and your breakdown of this was Superb! Thank you!!
You should check out him playing to the Dua Lipa song he did session drumming for. Not complicated… just hilarious and he uses the gong behind him finally 😂.
Chad Smith is a legend of LISTENING, which is why it's so great.
I keep coming back to this. I can't tell you enough I LOVE hearing "drum nerd" out. Your face says it all. Out of all your videos. This is the best one. I love it when you go "drum nerd". I love the talk about the cymbals. I rewind the part where you are talking about being super drum needing out. It's just so awesome. "More please"
this is the perfect example of a reaction video, drumming isn't in my wheelhouse but I loved watching this video. So entertaining and keep up the great work!
Of all the reactions to this video, you are the first to understand that he hadn't heard it before based off of that initial delay around 3:23-ish. Everyone else has said that he had to have heard it before.
The man has been playing drums since he was like 10 or 11 years old. He has like 50 years of experience. 40 of which are professional. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that he would be able to pick it up off the cuff like this like so many people are trying to claim.
You sir have earned my subscription today.
He deserves a huge statue in his name.❤ honestly .
The person that recommended the video almost did you dirty… “just listen to the song”? Wtf? No. So good that you watched the rest of it.
Also, as many others have commented, it’s great to hear the input of an actual drummer that knows what they’re talking about, as opposed to someone who probably sat at a kit in a music store for a minute and claims that they are a drummer 😂 (there’s one that said he stopped playing drums a few years ago… he looked about 16, a few years ago he wouldn’t have reached the cymbals 😂). It’s good to see a genuine drummer reacting to this video, and Drumeo has quite a few more that are worth a watch too. It’s a great concept - here’s an experienced and probably well known drummer, here’s a kit, here’s a song that isn’t their style or they haven’t ever heard before, let’s get them to play it - brilliant.
One of my favourite things about Chad jumping in without a full play through, he jumps in around the 30 seconds mark of a song by 30 Seconds To Mars… and then proceeds to nail it. It was one of those “meant to be” moments, and it’s there for everyone to see it.
From all reactions I have seen, yours is the best! Amazing! Love it!
Dude, I've watched a ton of reactions to this epic Chad Smith vid, and finally someone who can see and appreciate how good he is improvising. Great reaction, subscribed.
You HAVE to watch the mr brightside cover lol
THIS IS THE ONEEEEEEE
You did the best breakdown that I have seen on this video, thank you.
Lol, it's Chad Smith, of course he's going to dive right in, the guys a drum Nerd in the best possible sense.
Hi C&C fellow drummer here. This is my first time watching your channel and I have to say you got yourself a follower. I loved your enthusiasm and reaction. This is what I want from reactors excitement and self expression. Can’t wait for more!!!
Best reaction on this, an I've watched them all at this point. Not just your ability to break it down, but the energy and awe in your expressions. I think a lot of peoples jaws dropped watching Chad, with or without any idea about music.
Great reaction man, Chad is truly a beast... I really enjoyed watching him work this out his way.
Thank you for this video. You have great insight, great energy and great enthusiasm.
Yes! MORE MORE MORE! All of Drumeo’s videos like this are amazing! Please analyze them all!
One of the most impressive things I noticed is going back to listen to it again after hearing him listen too it and hearing how close he really was. He really did nail it. The little hat roll was actually already in his first attempt, slow opening of the hat with the build, pretty much everything but more cymbal and tom instead of snare from the start. Fantastic.
The man played the groove on "Breaking the Girl"...
He GETS 3/4 timing. 💯😎🤣
Very true!!!
Great reaction video man keep it up your insight is dope!!
Love this video and your content bro. Keep it up
Echoing all the other comments, by far the most insightful and overall best reaction to this video I've seen.
Effing great video buddy. First time I’ve ever seen one of your videos and I’ve got to say I loved it.
I've subscribed for more Drumeo videos, keep them coming!
Drummer Larnell Lewis did the same thing with Drumeo for Enter Sandman and it is equally impressive - would love to see you react!
Larnell Lewis's Enter Sandman is impressive, but he didn't have a drumless track.
He had a listen to the full track as Lars plays it, and then had a crack at replicating it.
Or any of Lewis' legendary Snarky Pupple We Like It Here session with not even a day to learn the music.
@@djmini_aus did he? I thought the full track was for the viewers, not for him
@@JFFerdyshenko Nah, the format was different. It was more about having a Jazz drummer play a metal track after just one listen.
ruclips.net/video/Zd_UcjMusUA/видео.htmlsi=NwfbTPYGsC3EzRt0
@@djmini_aus Yeah, Larnell would have done an even better job with a drumless track. Dude learned all the songs for the Snarky Puppy recording on his flight to Europe when he joined the band.
THAT ! Is another level of appreciation ! Right there ! Excellent. A pleasure to watch, you nerdy drummer ! 🙂
Your excitement to this video slapped me in the face 😂..I know didly squat about drums but your enthusiasm makes me want to learn drumming lol🥁❤️🤘🏻
Great reaction! HIGHLY recommend checking out the whole series. The Mr. Brightside one is great, but Greyson Nekrutman playing Sleep Token is phenomenal. Chad set a bar I'm not sure anyone will be able to top here, but even the ones that the drummer doesn't really get all that close to the original are fascinating.
Nic Collins doing Whiplash is pretty underrated imo. A great video for sure.
@@MODatHTDHthey did him dirty w that one tbh
Best reaction to this video yet!
It's beyond amazing its absurd. He played the damn song!
Fantastic commentary. Really enjoyed the video.
good breakdown; I caught this on Druneo by accident, but have seen Chad live many times, he's an amazing player!
Chad is one of the best drummers. Most people don’t realize how many times Chad just like Danny Carry, do session drumming for a lot of other artist.
I have been fan Girling over this for maybe a month and No one irl really cares so I'm aggressively happy I found this video.
I'm more classically trained so I get a good bit of how impressive this is, but you have done amazing explaining how impressive this is from the actual instrument stand point. You got a very impressed new subscriber man
I love the Chili Peppers, and I've always known Chad was a great drummer, but I never knew just how good he was until I saw that video. He listened to the opening 20 seconds or so and then just killed it off the top of his head, on the fly. An absolute masterclass in drumming.
I heard him do this on TikTok yesterday. I have been on RUclips for 2 hours listening to him play this in either the full vid or people reacting like yourself and I can’t get over how close he was.
Love this reaction! Also Chad is the GOAT!
