    I love it when drumeo lets Chad out of their basement, it’s nice to let him get out for a bit
  • @Jayphillips1988
    I love how he just doesn't care about playing it note for note perfectly. It is so much more enjoyable to just watch him flow.
  • @acsteiner1973
    I don't know anything about playing drums but Chad's joy and enthusiasm in his playing is so clear, it is a blast to watch him every time.
  • @GistOfItMedia
    I always heard drummers hate on this guy and say he can't drum but he's clearly an absolute hammer
  • I love the quick shift from him being goofy in the intro to completely locked in from note 1
  • I knew that he was a super cool drummer, but these live versions are crazy. Thank you for focusing on Chad’s drumming. You made my day!

    日本人です。退屈していた学生時代に彩りをくれたのはあなた達のバンドでした。あれから10年以上経ちますが、今でも大好きです。今年の来日は住んでいるエリアが違って行けないのですが、日本に来日していただけるだけで嬉しくてテンションがあがります。生きている間に生演奏を拝みたいです。世界の極東から愛を込めて。

    I love how this song seems like the tempo speeds up and slows down throughout … but it doesn’t, actually. The BPM is very steady. Chad’s drumming stylistic and rhythm choices give that variable-tempo illusion. It’s really cool, especially the work on the toms and the ride.
  • @neoscylax
    I love the way Chad doesn’t feel tied to the original recording and just plays whatever he wants. Bonzo was similar. Makes me feel free to play hard and loose too 👍🏻🥁
  • @LydiaVacs
    If there was ever someone BORN to do something- it was Chad and this song 😍
  • There are no words. Chad Smith and RHCP are keeping the whole planet young! I love you guys!
  • @ainmeile
    I love that he jammed to his own recording and played whatever he felt like in the moment
  • @oscararroyo8174
    Please continue to let Chad out of your dungeons over at Drumeo every now and then, nice to see him back
  • @satevo462
    Loved the Chad Smith reference on the "cowbell".
  • @NinjaExtreme14
    The RHCP are my favorite band but as a guitarist I never really payed much attention to the drum parts. These videos with Chad playing just gives me such another level of appreciation for theirs songs!
  • @shadcovert1160
    He fully, completely understood the assignment. I love that he fully knows the expectation, that fellow drummers are watching. Drummers drummer. This version should be on Spotify.
  • @ByOdinsBeard15
    He's quickly becoming my favorite drummer. Such crazy technique mixed with great instincts, it's so awesome to watch.
  • @mogglie
    Boy. What a drum mix. Drumeo is on top of their game. And chad is fantastic to watch. Loose and precise at the same time.
  • @wallofdeath19
    I would love to see the genius of Dave Lombardo and Igor Cavalera ! If I could play drums it would be because of these two. Loved seeing Chad’s playing as usual😊
