  • The behemoth struck again! Fans were treated to an unforgettable experience when Chad Smith returned to ‪@DrumtekDrums‬ in Melbourne's north for a meet and greet, autograph signing, and drum solo performance. Just over 100 lucky fans packed into the intimate venue to witness Chad solidify his reputation as a drumming legend. The night was truly enjoyed by all, and special thanks goes to Frank and the crew at Drumtek for expertly organising this one-of-a-kind event, and to Chad for taking time out of his major stadium tour to give fans an up-close-and-personal experience. It was an amazing night that will never be forgotten.

    True story. I saw chad one day before a concert. I got an autograph. He ask me where there was good to eat. I said “ go here, I’m headed there now … “ he jumped in the car and I had lunch with one of my boy hood idols.
    I’ll never forget it. Kind man.

      Of course this is my best story. I had drinks with ric flair once also. Told him about the chili pepper story and he told me “ I used to party with those guys. I wear the biggest sock of them all … wooo “

The look on the kids faces was priceless. Chad is a great ambassador for the drumming community and good human.😎

    I go back a long long way with Chad. He was a drummer in Detroit with a band called Toby red. I was the drummer in another Detroit band called mugsy. We later changed our name to WEAPONS. Chad may remember. Back in the day Detroit had a pretty hot music scene. We did a couple albums as WEAPONS, and we played the Marquee Club in London England. Chad, and the band The Romantics are really the only ones out of Detroit that ended up with Fame from that era. Chad has grown so much in his drumming ability! Congratulations, Chad! You deserve your Fame and Fortune and your place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Sincerely, Fred Schmidt.
