Lot of people don’t realize chris warren is basically the hidden 5th member of the chili peppers, he started with them as a roadie and became their main aux instrumentalist for their shows. He’s been a performing member of the band for like twenty years.
Its not right to call Chris "employee" in my opinion...You know he perform with the band live? keyboards, synthesizers, electronic, percussion, backing vocals this is Chris Warren when the band play live. He is touring with the band since Stadium Arcadium so since 2006.
I was Drum Tech for Justin Brown, drummer for Thundercat when they supported The Chillis on their European tour in 2022. Chris was so lovely to me. Very friendly, open to chat n advise. Was a pleasure to see him n Chad play every night, as Chad is my hero. Chris is a legend.
Great video guys, thank you so much Chris Warren and Modern Drummer! 07:38 the vocoder is for By The Way I'm assuming 08:19 Ableton drum beat for Zephyr Song 08:50 Organ for Californication

I have seen the Chili Peppers live last year with Chad playing this exact kit and it was probably the best live drum sound in a rock context that I have ever heard🤞🏻 That snare projected like crazy
North was a manufacturer that made drums like that - I remember seeing kits where all the toms were that way and it looked like a horn section. Brain mixed in one or two of them with one of the kits he used for Primus in Europe.
absolutely awesome sir you are one of the unsung heroes!! I love the Red Hot chili peppers always have and always will the drum kit looks incredible beautiful piece of artwork that's actually a badass functional Kick-Ass machine!!!! You guys are totally badass.... Let's make sure you get fishbone out on tour with you guys one of these days!!! Red hot old owes that the fish bone!!!!!
I’ve seldom cared about the looks of a kit before, but this gem had me waxing nostalgic. Everything-the whole package-makes me feel like I’m back in my grandmothers spice cabinet. Cinnamon, cumin, and of course chilies!
Very COOL, When I was a starter on the sticks , One of my full kit was a full Stacko drum set , one base drum , it was white and black exterior , loudest set I had in the early 80's, lol. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
Not only is Chris an amazing drum tech but an amazing drummer as well. He played drums in a trio with John Frusciante and Norwood Fisher on John’s 1997 tour
5:04 I liked how he has the cartoon drawing by Gary Panter from the artwork of the self-titled album (1984) behind his name card. I got this figure (it depicts Anthony) on my right inner arm as tattoo.
Still have my older Pearl Maple/Mahogany kit. It's the perfect wood combination. Gives just a little added low end without being too overbearing to the maple. Pearl was smart enough to discontinue it, and make it part of their custom line, to my dismay. Beautiful kit! Glad to see chad go with Paiste as well. The Signature and Modern Essentials line is exquisite.
I bought used from a friend 1985 Tama Superstar double bass kit a long time ago. The kicks are heavy to carry around and I usually only used one when I was playing out. Of course double pedal my point being 24’ kick is my favorite size!
That odd drum is based on Staccato which were fibreglass and made in the UK. They were based on the US made North drums which Billy Cobham used in the 70s. Think the Doobie Brothers had them as well.

Yes! Anthony thanked him at the end of their performance in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction
I remember watching him sound check Chad’s drums before they came on in 2012. Was impressive wasn’t expecting a tech to be that good
Indeed, Chris has 600 shows credited as touring musician this week
Seems like a really cool guy.
Some the stadium arcadium era! WE SEE YOU CHRIS
The plating... the 3D printing. This dude's attention to detail and care for his work is so lovely to see.
This dude is a real one... Chad is lucky to have him as an employee
I believe Chris has been since the Californication tour back in 1999, this guy is such a humble and amazing person, Chad is lucky :))
yeah i would say he's basically been a 5th member almost 20 years
Yep! I’m sure Chad is very aware of how lucky he is mate.
err ah mmm well He ah err sounds like a fool !

wow very cool!
You know, Chad may switch drum brands and cymbals over the years, but at least he sticks to one awesome drum tech. 🤘🤘
I LIKE THIS DRUM TECH DUDE!!!
He seems to be great
He’s so much more than a drum tech! Super talented guy.
He's the best human being I know. Truly. He's a great person.
He’s a drum tech and Performer in the band. That’s crazy.
Another unsung hero behind the scenes. I hope RHCP are taking good care of this man.
Really classy finish. I wouldn't have expected Chad to play one like this, but it's gorgeous.
Thank you Chris Warren, we are big fans of you and your work!
Great video guys, thank you so much Chris Warren and Modern Drummer!

Okay we need WAY more of this please! Chad Smith is such an incredible drummer.
This is the vibe every well respected road warrior puts out. Love this one

Thanks for the rug rundown…. Super informative and entertaining.
Thanks from Asia !!
“Sounds like a drum.” Awesome!
So cool, what a treasure this guy is. More interviews with the techs. Love their perspectives.
The mix was so nice, soft yet filled the stadium
Shout out to the Camera man for telling him to hit that 3d drum !
North was a manufacturer that made drums like that - I remember seeing kits where all the toms were that way and it looked like a horn section. Brain mixed in one or two of them with one of the kits he used for Primus in Europe.
Respect for these techs and the work they do for our favorite bands.
Great video Chris. Thanks for the Clap Stack shout out and thanks for using it!
So awesome to get to watch Chris Warren play.
Modern Drummer Official, Great content!
I am a big fan of Chad’s drum sticks. Have been playing them for years. Great weight and feel.
bro what a dream job!! to be chad’s drum tech and to perform with the band as well!!
Love this tech... that was an extremely intensive Rundown, Also a very solid player!
Chris Warren is a "Dream" drum tech!!!! Sweetheart of a guy with an attention to detail.
When your in a band you love guys like Chris and they are not easy to find. He’s worth his weight in gold. 👍👍👍
Wow he's a really good drummer really loved this rundown chili peppers one of my favorite bands of all time

That is so awesome I'm from Michigan in Canada is one of my favorite all-time drummers I played drums too.
This dude is an absolutely awesome drum tech man I wish we all had a guy like this
I met Chris when he was playing around LA in the 90s. Good guy and drummer
Smart, cool, talented human. Good job modern drummer.
Love what Chris does. What a Kool kat !!~ Love his groove too !!~
Very COOL, When I was a starter on the sticks , One of my full kit was a full Stacko drum set , one base drum , it was white and black exterior , loudest set I had in the early 80's, lol. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
Awesome kit!
What a dream gig!🥁👍🤘
Chads Kit has grown pretty much!
Amazing setup!! The hardware alone has gotta be worth 30k! Chris is the man!!
Not only is Chris an amazing drum tech but an amazing drummer as well. He played drums in a trio with John Frusciante and Norwood Fisher on John’s 1997 tour

damn that 3d printed staccato knock off gets the noggin joggin... awesome vid and super cool tech.
Insanely beautiful kit!
What an awesome guy .. it's easy to see he loves his job ....
The whole set up is beautiful but the hardware is the cherry on top, the whole look reminds me of Neil Peart's time machine kit. The tech is ace.
I could listen to this guy the whole day. Does he have his own channel?
It’s too bad that those aren’t in a museum, what an awesome setup. Love the RHCP.
Chad has had so many sponsors for cymbals and drums over the years. I liked his Pearl/Sabian era in the 2000’s best with the blue kit
@@circustramps Which ones besides Perl and Sabian before the current DW Paiste?
i remember chad's simple kit and look at 'em now :D
Still have my older Pearl Maple/Mahogany kit. It's the perfect wood combination. Gives just a little added low end without being too overbearing to the maple. Pearl was smart enough to discontinue it, and make it part of their custom line, to my dismay. Beautiful kit! Glad to see chad go with Paiste as well. The Signature and Modern Essentials line is exquisite.
Chris Warren is a drumming legend!
2:33 - did you notice the Aquarian Super Kick I?
The fifth pepper! This guy is awesome!
That’s a great drum tech👍🏼👍🏼
Ok, this was a great video, beautiful kit, excellent rundown of everything. But does anyone else think this guy kinda sounds like David Cross?
Chad is a beast!!! So underrated!!!!!
Remo endorsed playing Aquarian.
Love the fella's drumming!
Awesome!!! We have _got_ to get John and Flea's techs to do "Rig Rundown's" on their rigs! Also, that cast aluminum snare sounds _killer._
Not gonna happen for John. There are at least two for Flea already.
Chris is a Excellent drummer in his own right'This is second to the 2007 Super Bowl NFL Designed DPW for Chad Smith
Wow what a beautiful drum set
Do DEEN CASTRONOVO’s current kit!! Come on, MD!!
That gong is insane❤❤❤❤ I love it
LOVE THESE TOUR KIT VIDEOS! Hope to see Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger) and Deen Castronovo (Journey) on here!
This satin bronze hardware is amazing
Talented Man - Great video.
He got that Chad Smith technique too!!!
Would love to see Chris start a youtube channel, guy seems very cool. I think he's been chads tech since the early 2000's too
I bought used from a friend 1985 Tama Superstar double bass kit a long time ago. The kicks are heavy to carry around and I usually only used one when I was playing out. Of course double pedal my point being 24’ kick is my favorite size!
A Drum tech and Keyboard player in the band that’s talented never seen that before.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Chad Smith Signature Cow Bell...Now that's when you know you've really 'made it' as a drummer.
Trè Cool Tour kit video please!
Love this drum kit ❤🤟
Absolutely AWESOME.
Chris has my dream job 🙏🏻 and probably a lot of people here 😂
That odd drum is based on Staccato which were fibreglass and made in the UK. They were based on the US made North drums which Billy Cobham used in the 70s. Think the Doobie Brothers had them as well.
we need a tour video about Eloy's drumkit
Great looking kit! Keep Rockin'! DC
I met Chris Warren, he’s awesome
The satin bronze hardware looks great!
This guy knows a lot about drums, and HE CAN PLAY!
Great video! Thanks, MD!
God bless this dude!
For those non musicians that might be watching! Having a tech this good is like being Batman and having Alfred! Hopefully that was a good analogy!
Woahhh, Jack Johnson is Chad's tech and he can bang!!
Beautiful drums.
Is that an Aphex Twin tattoo I see?! Super cool!
Chris Warren is the true hero of the Chili Peppers!
This is my dream kit.
Best employee ever🎉
Beautiful looking kit. Grateful for the walkthrough.
I still think his classic Pearl/Sabian combo sounded better than the DW/Paiste for some reason.
Way better. The big 24 ride sounds horrible aswell
Bow Wow Wow had the elbo macaroni drum set in the 80s.
That's a beauty kit. There's lots of options out there, but dw seems to always be ahead of the pack with their finishes.
This guys is awesome :)
You should have seen the drums and cymbals on stage at jimmy ds clinic featuring chad and dennis chambers
Hot damn the busiest drum tech ive seen! He's even their auxiliary percussionist AND key player!!
That Aphex Twin tattoo makes me an instant fan.
That’s pretty dope!
