Completely new respect for Chad. I've always thought he was a good drummer , but now I see he's been holding back more talent and ability than he shows.

Very cool. I wish I had this kind of things when I was a kid learning in the 80s. One thing I wonder about . . . it looks like Chad is either using particularly long sticks, or he grips quite far to the end of the stick?

Chickenfoot got clowned on hard for being "dad rock" at a time in the 2000's where 3rd wave emo, metalcore and pop punk were still the massively dominant forms of "rock" on the airwaves. Their sound was labelled stale and corny. I remember stations like Planet Rock playing it live on air when it came out fresh, but a lot of other places just straight up panned it. In reality, it featured a lot of great performances from each individual member of the band. I remember thinking that Hagar sounded better on this album than he had in a long time. Satriani's chops were great, too. He sat back in the mix on a few tracks and let other members of the band shine. Chad Smiths parts also speak for themselves. In retrospect, it was a cool album that I just feel like came out at the "wrong" time.

Flea was at the peak of his powers late 90s/early 00's. John Frusciante during the 2007 tour. Chad is at the peak of his powers now
