This is the perfect illustration of 'toning it down for the recording but tearing it up live.' The beat for the album version is wondering in its simplicity. This version here is simply wonderful.
Since Chad was in drumeo, I come here at least once a day to watch some videos with Chad. What Jared did with Drumeo is great, after over 20 years since I last played drums with my friends, in a small Polish town, in the basement of a community center, I bought electric drums and whenever I feel like it, I sit down and play, and my 7-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son are also interested in drums. Another fact is that many of my friends who were not at all interested in playing drums also subscribed to the channel because they were interested in this series about listening for the first time, learning a song quickly, and those long episodes such as with Chad, when de facto it is a small concert. May it never end.
@@elcrackengaitos_bs4804 the snare was my only problem with this video. It seemed to keep coming loose throughout and sometimes you'd see Chad tighten it up just for it undo mid song on the next track he plays. It doesn't have that normal snare feel a Chad Smith kit has. Maybe it's partially because I'm so used to hearing him live from the amount of RHCP concerts I've been to, but it doesn't sound quite as "snappy" I guess would be the word.
Chad’s style is so much fun to watch and listen to… his body is so fluid and moving so freely and loosely, yet is sound is so tight and every sound coming out of his drum tracks sound like they’re exactly where they should be… His drumming through the bridge on this track is so big and really drives the sound. Incredible! The man is one of the best that’s for sure!
Chad is a prime example of instinctual playing. All feel, pure emotional injection. No charts, no counting, no care. Just hit the drums like you mean it and make ‘em feel something. Either you have that… or you don’t.
@@error.delete4945 true! I think what @hishamdahud was tryna say is that Chad has that soul that's playing, not just "music science". But to be able to let that sould play you sould definetly learn the science and the more you know - the more free your soul is when playing
@@McSireson playing on top of the beat is where your notes are hit just a bit earlier than all the rest of the band. It's almost like rushing but you're never actually speeding up; you're just staying ahead of everyone (kind of like in a race where you lead, or like a train when you're the engine out front; nobody plays ahead of you, but you're all keeping the same tempo) .... It pulls the rest of the band. The drummer pulls, and the bass pushes. The sound is very aggressive. In reggae, the bass player plays far behind the drummer.
@@Gruuvin1is this something learned or instinctual? This topic is fascinating to me as a non drummer/musician…do people just play this way or do they actively practice to play this way? Also I never understood how a drummer could play “in the pocket” or perfectly on the beat/timing yet drummers have styles, play in ways that’s not robotic or stiff? I apologize because I know I’m not explaining it correctly what I’m trying to say.
@@TRUMAN_THE_TRUE_MANI can guarantee you that DRUMEO’S content is way better than yours considering they know how to spell. Your negativity is not welcome here. Get rocked.
That's why I love drummers. Each drummer sounds unique. E.g., you can listen to Nirvana songs with Chad Channing, Dave Grohl and Travis Barker and they all sound like three different Nirvanas.
Chad Smith's drumming talent, though not necessarily the world's best, holds a special place in my heart; his unique style gets me on the edge of my seat. If I could possess any drummer's skill, it would undeniably be his. Chad Smith reigns as my all-time favorite drummer, and that won't change. Drumeo makes the sickest videos with drummers out there, making their channel my ultimate go-to with Chad Smith being my favorite. What a sick channel🤘🥁👍!!!
The energy this man carries while playing is like watching a 20 year old play while wearing old man makeup. Like Knoxville and Spike Jones back in the day.
I never mentioned Chad as an outrageous drummer. Since his live performances on drumeo I know, he is. I rather love his groove. Great work, great drummer. Thank You Chad ( and RHCP ) for so many years and lots of cool moments with You.
@johnnyceagles I don't have a definitive answer friend, as I am not considering myself "obsessed with core" as you mentioned. I just commented on a video how remarkable it is for a man that age doing this stuff. May I suggest taking a deep breath, letting go is helpful when we are searching for problems that are not really there. Have a good day.
Even a simple song in the drums, he manages to give it an incredible vibe. I wish I could get inside this guy's head to assimilate everything he thinks and conveys in his music. Sensational!
His left foot is impossible to replicate. Always has been and always will be my favorite drummer. So powerful yet so tasteful and super unique. Keep the Chad content coming 🤘🏼
Chad is famous for having songs and grooves that are at heart, simple to play. He just puts his own flare on it, and that’s something you can’t replicate.
For nearly 60 years, I’ve loved and wanted to drum. Never had. And when I hear Chad, I know I’ll never bother. Never, in a million years, could I be a fraction of the drummer I’m listening to whilst I type this. The Boss. 🥁🫶
These videos have really helped me appreciate Chad as a drummer and musician. So much instinct and feel.. always seems to play the right thing. Guy is phenomenal
When he first drops into that groove and turns the stick around to hit the body of the snare, that's so in the pocket. That's a life time of playing your instruments right there. Meat and potatoes but far more interesting and emotionally moving than 90% of drum shredding I see online these days.
It took me quite a while to realise a major, if not the reason I like RHCP is the way Chad plays drum, it adds this great energy to the songs. I saw a similar thing with early Korn and Dave S really laying into the drums, but keeping the sound controlled still.
Its awesome to hear him play.. rhcp still one of my fav artists, there are crazy drummers out there that can do mind boggling sets.. but this is a timeless classic that resonates... nice.
Chad playing this more fun arrangement in a Judas Priest shirt is why even before I became a drummer his work was something that stuck with me. Fucking legend.
Impeccable timing. Especially at this volume level. One can clearly tell the decades of banging those drums live on the biggest stages like it's nothing. Wow.....
More Chad content is always appreciated.
I’m 100% better than Dumero lol 😂🥳

@@TRUMAN_THE_TRUE_MANsays the guy that can't even spell Drumeo right.
This is a video taken from the interview that was released 10 months ago so sadly it's not new content.
We need more cowbell, Chad will do though I suppose.
Otherside is 25 years old but Chad plays it like it's brand new. Incredible.
How many times you think he has played it live how could he forget

The man is a professional. This is engrained into his memory.

Crazy huh!?!? been listening since the 90's and still sounds just as good as the day I heard it.
Dead stick awkward swap out but you would never know unless you saw it. Respect

I had to go back and watch it again! That was slick!
@@paolim1102he was clumsy & dropped the stick or it broke?

Chad is one of those "chaotic good" drummers
The Minsc of drummers...
@@MrShoryuken1 Go for the gong, Boo! Squeeeaak!
That's funk!
I always thought ALL good drummers were chaotic..
It doesn't feel chaotic at all to me
That stick swap at 3:27 was legit!
a good roadie is neither seen nor heard- jack black
did his stick break?
@@TheWeasle2 That's what it looks like to me. He didn't lose it, he tossed it down and gestured for another.

The mixing of these drums is outrageously good

Best Will Ferrel solo I’ve seen. Great actor, comedian, and Drummer!
Forgot how good he played the drums at the Catalina Wine Mixer too!
Needs more cowbell
These videos make me appreciate him FAR more than I initially did. Hes a brilliant drummer
crazy how good he is, if you weren't watching, wouldn't even know he swapped a drumstick. just kept it going. need more Chad smith content
I love how is constantly putting pressure on the hi hat pedal. Just adds so much dynamics.
Yea we can. What is this regarding?
Chad is a prime example of instinctual playing. All feel, pure emotional injection. No charts, no counting, no care. Just hit the drums like you mean it and make ‘em feel something. Either you have that… or you don’t.
he is all those things sure, but he has "it" because he put in the hard time for years and years, not because of magical, elusive abilities.
Totally agree@@error.delete4945
Exactly. He can play Otherside in 20 different ways and every single one would sound incredible. The change-up at 2:48 onwards is just pure beauty.
He has tremendous skill and technique though, which is necessary for the emotional side to be coherent
@@error.delete4945 true! I think what @hishamdahud was tryna say is that Chad has that soul that's playing, not just "music science". But to be able to let that sould play you sould definetly learn the science and the more you know - the more free your soul is when playing
I like how Chad plays aggressively in front of the groove. So many people show off playing RHCP stuff, and they're almost always missing that.
First thing I noticed.
Can you explain in non-drummer terms what you mean by that?
Could you explain what you mean? I feel like i kinda get what that means instinctually, but can't quite explain it myself.

extremely underrated, my respect for him went even higher after this video

He’s not human he is from another dimension. Absolute legend
I've never seen anybody do that with the kick drum. Amazing.
2:51 that's gorgeous
This childlike joy in all he does is all i aspire in life

Love watching Chad play! So much funk
Watching him play is always a treat. You can tell he lives for it.
He just oozes groove and surpreme talent.
Gotta love the big man!!
Call it CHARISMA!
Love the space in RHCP songs from this era - really shows off Chad's dynamics and pocket.
and he looks to be enjoying this just as much as the first time he performed it live. killer.
His left foot is impossible to replicate. Always has been and always will be my favorite drummer. So powerful yet so tasteful and super unique. Keep the Chad content coming 🤘🏼

Awesome how he can lay down a track like the record, then the flamboyant live version 👏🏻
One of the best in the business for sure! much feeling... than most of drumers can reach...
I love the constant bounce for tight timely fills. Always on the groove. Excellent.
Chad has such an awesome, natural, dynamic style. Puts his whole body into every note. One of the coolest dudes out there.
Love that bright pop on snare
Talent, creativity and FUN are three things rarely all found in the same band member - hes got excess of them all!
You are hands down my favorite Chili Pepper, and I'm a BASSIST. Drummer for a couple of years now.
He plays so clean it’s amazing - especially since he hits so hard. Always looks like he’s having fun, too. He’s a pleasure to watch

Chad has the pocket of a pair of $10,000 blue jeans and hits that drum set looser than an ex wife at happy hour

Maybe I am being fooled, but every time I see Chad he is giving 155%.
I will never get tired of watching this guy drumming.
