Shannon Leto Attempts A Red Hot Chili Peppers Song (In Front Of Chad Smith!)
When Chad Smith visited Drumeo for the first time in 2023, we challenged him to play “The Kill (Bury Me)” by Thirty Seconds to Mars. The video went viral—and even caught the attention of Shannon Leto and Jared Leto themselves.
Fast-forward two years: we’re filming with Shannon Leto in Los Angeles, and we decide to complete the circle. We gave Shannon a Red Hot Chili Peppers song to play on the spot… and then secretly invited Chad Smith to crash the session. Shannon’s reaction to the surprise? Absolutely priceless.
This video is the epic finale to the Chad Smith × Shannon Leto story on Drumeo.

How can a professional drummer not know this song, despite actually liking it? Chad’s wink is telling.

I am surprised it took Chad Smith that long to realize how important drums are.. I am sure he was being tongue-in-cheek.. but yeah that is the reason I love this series on Drumeo.. the drums change the entire tone of the song. I really like it when they bring in people like jazz drummers to put their unique spins, when they are willing anyway.

These are the best videos. I know very little about music and nothing about playing the drums but I can't stop watching. All these drummers are truly amazing.
