You are another great drummer. Thank you Chad, Chili Pepper fan as well as the legend Neal Peart and Rush.

Really miss Chickenfoot. Just so true Rock’n’Roll. Still not understand why they stopped. As Chad said, like a John Deere. Just big, fat rock with great vocals. Very rare in todays time 😢

This guy is so good. A real musical drummer. Love the Dua Lipa and Vedder tracks. These drum parts serve the songs perfectly. That's what it's about. And a cool person too. You can see that he really loves to play.

6:27 Love how Chad says the music is nuanced, while the lyrics in the background are :"Got a dick and 2 balls" 😁

Such an amazing Drummer!!! some Drummers have Power, other have groove, Chad as both of them, pure Power and Groove. The Chilli Peppers music would never work without him

If you combine Keith Moon, Ringo, Peart and Bonham you end up with Chad.

Had a guy I grew up with, every parent would always this kid clap non stop when he entered the house. He never sat still. But as soon as the clapping stopped the parents came running to find him. Especially the ones with daughters. I have a feeling him and chad would be boys. What an awesome drummer, and funny as shit.

I don't know who the f*k is dua lipa, but that melody at the beginning, sounds exactly like Queen's Another one bites the dust. Like a rip off if you ask me

I love that you managed to do so many videos with Chad! It would be amazing to see every band member from RHCP in this kind of format!

The last song is one of my favorite by RHCP ! I don't wanna be disrespectful but the One Hot Minute period with Dave was intense and beautiful, a climax that's never been reached again since then. But it's not really related to Chad's talent !👍
@ShellyNorton-gq9fk

I like watching these videos ,and listening to Chad ,I love it that he also works with a lot of other musicians .I would like to know what song he would struggle with .

chad smith is the only one who could play a tool track but has probably listened to most in awe and has tried his hand in it.
