Petr Čech Hears Journey For The First Time
Take a sneak peek inside the mind of Petr Čech — legendary Premier League goalkeeper for Chelsea, Arsenal, and the Czech National Team. Watch as he hears Journey’s “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” for the very first time and attempts to play along on the drums. What is he listening for? How does he create a drum part that fits the song?
You’ll also see a reaction from former Journey drummer Steve Smith, and watch Petr get a little revenge on Brandon Toews after being put through the wringer himself.
Enjoy the ride!

I couldn't even recognize him because there are so few photos of him without his headgear

Do you still remember Nihat Kahveci?

What a cool surprise. One of the best keepers if have ever seen also knows how to play the drums. This makes this channel even better than it already is!

Good on him for giving it a go…

Dude is a goalkeeper and drummer?! Wowow

A tough assignment to put a track like this in front of a non pro drummer, when the original player was STEVE SMITH! I enjoyed it all the same time though.

Americans on this video… He is a top 5 goalkeeper in the history of football (the real one, not yours). A legend through and through, who is a household name outside America.
Probably the most famous guest to have come on this show.

Gonna throw a different perspective on here (yes Petr is awesome, his playing is great, no doubt about that!): how Drumeo always finds a new angle and makes it interesting and fun to watch with these videos that basically have the same concept (“x hears y for the first time”) is super impressive. Doing THIS during the World Cup … well done 👏🏻 Shout out to the behind the scenes team, there’s a LOT of work that goes into this and it really shows.

Had a hard time believing it was really him until i saw the save montage when they normally show the musician in a concert or a music video.

Bro what
THAT Petr Cech??
@rockpepaine

A couple of good saves right there.

Idk what's weirder, seeing Cech here or seeing him without his iconic headguard
@SirPrizeMF
June 14, 2026 at 10:58 am
I was like "I'm gonna make a joke about the goalkeeper of the same name". I not for a single second considered the possibility it was actually him.
@numerobiz
June 14, 2026 at 10:58 am
Hard to believe he never heard this song before😂

Petr Čech just out here living the best life after retirement, playing hockey and vibing with drums lol, he has a music channel with 100k+ subs on YT, so props to the guy for enjoying life after being one of the Premier League's best ever goalkeeper. Forever a Chelsea legend 💙💙💙

I'm a football fan, I never expected to see him play drums in drumeo… like WTF, retirement is treating him well mr Cech.

Hell yeah, some good cymbal hits, some simple fills, and we see how anyone can get into playing the drums at a pretty good level.

This guy! Foorball legend and one of the best goal keepers of all time! He also is very smart and has a degree! He is nice and humble! He also played ice hocked as a goalie. He can drum! I mean cmon, the god was very generous! 🙂
@Soshikix

Wait…what?lol I had no idea he played drums. Awesome!

One of my favorite goalkeepers and least of my favorite drummers of all times. Still lots of fun to watch!

Petr Cech is magic,
He wears a magic hat.
He could have stayed at Chelsea,
But he said no fuck that!
He saves it with his left hand,
He saves it with his right,
And when we win the league again we sing this song all night.
COYG!
