@@normaleehi yeah but this isn't QUALITY Control here... this is just you bitching cuz someone didn't react how YOU would have. It's not that serious bro... it's a video on RUclips of all things. It's not a dick, don't take it so hard. If you can't handle people not doing like YOU would do, maybe the Internet isn't the place for you. Just sayin.
I think you missed the biggest part. He didn't even fully listen to the song. He heard it drumless, and then just started playing without even taking time to listen or make notes for the song. He didn't play along with it, he winged the whole thing and got that masterpiece of a set. Truly a legend.
He DID play along with it. He's spent 30 years as a session drummer, he knows exactly how to listen to the vocalist and other instruments and provide a drum line to support it. All he needed was the timescale and a bit of the chorus to figure out the half time and roll with it.
He's not hearing the drums in his ears. They were playing a drumless track for him and he just free-styled that whole thing without hearing it. His level of musical anticipation is INSANE, but you can tell he can't hear the actual drums because there's a few times you can see he realizes the feel changed but adjusts in like a split second. It's absolutely nuts. The level of musicianship is mind-blowing.
And you can see his head stop bobbing and his eyes looking upwards as he's paying closer attention to what's being played before getting back in the groove.. especially when he's hearing the track with the drums and playing alongside it after his first/only pass at the song
I was almostb hopeless in music but had some talent on painting and graphics end even that artistic enviroment, it's hard to mimic some great artist and their style... In some of cases I though get close enough to fool even some professional artist with my works... On eguy who was a professional artist wanted to look my paintings up close and was abit baffeled when he realized I used the same technic and even the same style of marking my strokes and lines. But training to copy someone elses pieces, youeill began to realize their technic and then its gets to something quite natural to you... You do still have master in some degree what you are doing in order to pull that off. The best way usually is to give some time to reharse. but as soon as you get a grip on it, it changes to so much more easier... even the way of using brushes os pastell chalks or what ever. But the true geniuos are right on spot from the beginning.
Apparently he’s always been like this. According to Anthony Kiedis’ autobiography, he joined RHCP without knowing a single song and just locked in jamming with Flea and JF almost instantly.
Yah.. they do 1-2 trial passes, before getting the "correct" groove.. he got it right away after listening to it for 30 seconds.. 30 Seconds to Mars? More like 30 Seconds to Chad
He says in the end that it was "busy". I think it was a genius move to make a bit more "busy" - because that gives him more opportunities to make switches or extend a fill. He makes himself as dynamic as possible so that he can respond to what he hears. It's amazing.
If you've watched and listened to RHCP live concerts, you know how much they love to improvise. They have an amazing feel for each other's play and musical intuition to know where the song is going.
That is one of my favorite videos of all time, even as a total non musician but an enormous 30STM fan i can recognize the genius of what Chad did, his ability to adjust on the fly like that after only hearing the drumless track for a few seconds is mind boggling. Can't imagine how impressive it must be to someone with a trained ear such as yourself!
Larnell Lewis' was the first I saw from Drumeo, and it blew me away, but this one with Chad Smith is actually one that impressed me almost equally. It's pure musicality.
Larnell heard the song with the drums (talking about Enter Sandman here, seeing how other comments mention another video of his), but he still did a fucking good job at it! but I'm finding the drumless thing they've been doing since much more entertaining cause you can see what the drummer's feel of the song is, rather than trying to replicate the original song
I am not a drummer and know absolutely zero about drumming but always was drawn to the drums. Nothing more mesmerizing than watching someone just create magic on a kit, but you mentioned Larnell Lewis’s Enter Sandman rendition and let me just say that what impressed me the most was the “Active Listening” portion of the Drumeo set. Watching the “cogs” in his brain turning, then his hands and feet moving and bouncing as if he were writing the music on a sheet of paper. It was all just too beautiful to me. And this is coming from a layman. Someone who knows nothing about drumming so I can’t even imagine how powerful and moving watching all of this is to the drumming community. I am so grateful that I stumbled upon Drumeo and all these great drumming podcasts for all these incredible videos and content. And of course a f***** huge THANK YOU to the LEGENDARY Chad Smith for nailing The Kill and making that video Viral and introducing all the non drummers to Drumeo. 🙏🏻 And final thought….you shouldn’t have gave up drumming. It’s never too late to start again. ꨄ.
Drumeo literally explains this at beginning of video so no idea how Mr Honest Take was so lost ... but not only that, Chad was also playing along on the drum-less track without ever having heard the track before ... in the other Drumeo videos the drummers got to listen to the track the whole way through at least once before laying down their drums to the track.
@@rsmith9094 I think Chad was supposed to listen to the drumless track all the way through, maybe make notes, then give it a pass, but he just said 'I got this' 15 seconds in and fucking nailed it.
@@ToMPaSHKoV of course! he was obviously given the choice to do as you described, just like all the other drummers did, but he just plowed straight in (unlike all the other drummers), which was infinitely more difficult ... and aced it yea
It's amazing when you see Chad Smith unleashing his inner child and having fun. One of the many reasons why I like this channel is because you put into words the things that I feel musically and that I logically don't understand. Great reaction, have a nice week.
He can't hear the drums - just the rest of the track. You're just watching someone who has spent his whole life jamming and can easily come up with shit on the spot.
as I'm sure you've realized by now, he's listening to a drumless track and just figuring out it was in 3 and then he listen to the vocals and guitar and other things to figure out the structure of the song. Absolutely amazing drummer.
@@TheHonestTake Just watch while he’s listening in the black and white part. Read the captions. They even play what he’s actually hearing. He was supposed to take notes and formulate a plan but as soon as he figured out it was in 3 he jumped in.
At 3:25 it says we are listening to the full track with drums, then at 3:42 it says Chad is listening to a drumless track and it shows what he's hearing. So he was just playing the drums to the drumless song.
6:29 "It's how you play it's not what you know." I love that because it applies to so many things in life. It's not the tricks you can do (skating) but how you do them. It's not what you wear (name brands) it's how you wear it. It's not the Knowledge (Your degree) you have but how you use/apply it. Creativity and passion is what makes art great.
You need to go back and watch the whole interview they did with him and he mentions that sound engineers get onto him for ghost noting the bass. Says the sewing machine leg movement is just a thing of never being able to sit still. It’s a great interview.
Imagine anyone getting on creative for their personal idiosyncrasies. Let each person be who they are, y'all. The guy has been playing for years, you can deal with it. Would these people complain at Stewart Copeland for ghost noting? If they would then they need to come work on some electro stuff with drum machines, lol.
To be fair, I'm 20 years younger than Chad Smith and I'm probably much more into the emo and post-hardcore genres than he is - I did not know this song. I'm aware of the band. I've heard a song or two, but I had never consciously heard this song prior to this drumeo video.
This just shows the Chad Smith disrespect that is out there. He has been a professional musician for over 30 years in one of the most ubiquitous rock bands, and people don't think he can keep up. Thanks for putting this out there so people can see these guys aren't just lucky.
I've seen other drummers come on here and listen to the full song without drums before adding their own drum to it the 2nd time around. Chad just listened to the first verse and a couple of bars of the chorus before jumping in with no hesitation. The accuracy was insane. He just has a natural feel for music, even if it's not the style he normally plays.
I think I actually saw in an interview he did that his bass drum ghost note habit gets him in hot water with studio techs and what not all the time, good catch!
He's doing ghost beats on the bass And... if you listen to RHCPs he does that alot. Reason is he let's Flea fill in those beats with the bass that's why they have always compliment each other so well. And if you can tell he plays alot of his beats and his accent notes are aligned with what the singer is doing. Which is a simple but powerful way to really drive the lyrics and singing home.
when you look at the changes in his facial expression as he is hitting different parts of the kit its almost like he is having some kind of non verbal conversation with each individual part if that makes sense. anyway, truly impressive display by a real musician.
Fam I got to be honest, I love how you analyse it. Plus I love how you accept that people only stick around for "the important bit" and if that's it then go like you said haha
I agree on teaching someone to play an instrument can be too rigid sometimes. My band teacher was very experimental and was big on doing whatever was most comfortable and produced the best sound
I think they were all shocked that he didnt even get through the first play through chad was like 30 seconds in started grooving and almost got it spot on 😮
He’s playing along to a drumless version that most drummers listen to once or twice while making notes and then play along to it for the video… CS just went ahead and started playing
Dawg, the video tells you how this works lol He hears the drumless track and plays to it, drumeo is honestly one of the coolest music channels on youtube. This is probably one of the least impressive videos theyve ever posted, thats how cool they are and thats how high the bar is. If you havent you really should check out more of their stuff they kill it. Plus chili peppers jam/improv live all the time so playing on the fly and making reads on sections changing etc. Is something hes reeeeeeally good at/well practiced.
I don't think they downplay how good musicians they are. It's just that they don't care about showing off. They play only what's needed for the song, and sometimes that's very little. I often see people playing songs like Californication in a more complex way and it sounds worse than the original which is intentionally stripped down to it's basic components to sound precisely the way it does.
The Larnell comparison is off since he listened to the full instrumental including the drums before going at it with a drumless track, while Chad listened to a drumless track and played along simultaneously to his first listen.
How many drummers here also actually ‘Learn’ new music on your steering wheel ? (and gear shifter if your ride has manual transmission) *I used to keep the bottle cap from every Yoo-Hoo I drank in the glovebox of my ‘86 Jeep CJ7 cuz after beating the metal shift pattern emblem outta my shifter knob, I popped in a Yoo-Hoo bottle cap! 😄 They fit perfectly, but only lasted a week or two, so I kept plenty of spares on hand!!! 😉😎👍🏼🥁
You missed the point. He is not hearing the drums. He made that up as he went, other guys on these drumeo-challenges listens to the full track, maybe multiple times, and then tries and replicate it.....chad just goes with it and HE F*CKIN NAILED! Absolute legend! Best guy who ever did that challenge, period!
It literally tells you in the very beginning of the video he can't hear the drums but you don't figure it out until after you have "ended" your video. Amazing. This is the quality of content stealing I love.
Chad picked up the groove faster than you getting what's happening 🤣🤣🤣

Seriously! Chad's a Chad (probably where the term came from? don't quote me on this hahaha)
most videos i've watched they either take notes or they do atleast 3 takes I dont think one has winged it without hearing the full track first
He understands the structure of a song. That's about as easy as I can put it.
The first thing they said was he's a music nerd.
He DID play along with it. He's spent 30 years as a session drummer, he knows exactly how to listen to the vocalist and other instruments and provide a drum line to support it. All he needed was the timescale and a bit of the chorus to figure out the half time and roll with it.
I'm not a drummer but seeing him come in after listening to a drumless track for 30 seconds blew my mind. That dude can drum.
When the chili peppers play live they do a LOT of jamming and improv so it's honestly kind of "in his blood" if you will
And then afterwards he just says "nah I don't need another pass, I nailed it" - I get that it was a joke, but it also wasn't!
I see what you did there....
....to Mars.
I thought the same! And if you watch other artists in their channel they usually listen to it through first and then give it a shot
3:42 “Chad is hearing a drumless track that sounds like this”

yeah dude... he's playing this with ONLY the Lyrics and guitars... no drums in his ear! It's MIND BLOWING!!!

As a simple man. I just want someone to edit Chad's version playing along sides Shannon's drums

This is probably one of the least impressive videos theyve ever posted, thats how cool they are and thats how high the bar is. If you havent you really should check out more of their stuff they kill it.
Plus chili peppers jam/improv live all the time so playing on the fly and making reads on sections changing etc. Is something hes reeeeeeally good at/well practiced.
I know dude! I’m super dyslexic as you stated above. He’s great stylized drumming is my favorite!
He listens to The track without drums. He is incredible.
Damn!!!!!
he made his own set
I love 50 seconds to mars!🚀🥰
I saw him and flea jam in front of me at namm years ago. It blew me away.
I don't think they downplay how good musicians they are. It's just that they don't care about showing off. They play only what's needed for the song, and sometimes that's very little. I often see people playing songs like Californication in a more complex way and it sounds worse than the original which is intentionally stripped down to it's basic components to sound precisely the way it does.
Chadwick smith is drumming!!! Period!!!
The Larnell comparison is off since he listened to the full instrumental including the drums before going at it with a drumless track, while Chad listened to a drumless track and played along simultaneously to his first listen.
How many drummers here also actually ‘Learn’ new music on your steering wheel ? (and gear shifter if your ride has manual transmission)
*I used to keep the bottle cap from every Yoo-Hoo I drank in the glovebox of my ‘86 Jeep CJ7 cuz after beating the metal shift pattern emblem outta my shifter knob, I popped in a Yoo-Hoo bottle cap! 😄 They fit perfectly, but only lasted a week or two, so I kept plenty of spares on hand!!! 😉😎👍🏼🥁
You missed the point. He is not hearing the drums. He made that up as he went, other guys on these drumeo-challenges listens to the full track, maybe multiple times, and then tries and replicate it.....chad just goes with it and HE F*CKIN NAILED! Absolute legend! Best guy who ever did that challenge, period!
Man I remember being a freshman in '09 listening too both bands, and the kill kinda became my escape song from shitty relationships.
It literally tells you in the very beginning of the video he can't hear the drums but you don't figure it out until after you have "ended" your video. Amazing. This is the quality of content stealing I love.
Does it?
He did come up with it.. he was listening to the drumless track.. read the captions
Amazing…he nailed it!!
as SOON as u said will Farrell I had to like
He's hearing a drumless track. The captions show this before he starts.
