Chad Szeliga Drum Solo - Bloomsburg, PA 03-23-07

[DrMisterAleksa]

modern rock drummers are the best and from all if them, chad is the god

[punk9999643]

@KTDrummerGirl95 In my opinion, Adair holds back WAY too much to be considered the best, though his work with other bands like Mortone and the other Nickelback album with him. He is a hell of a solid drummer though and one of my favorites. But i think Chad's a little more technical.

[luccchat]

@KTDrummerGirl95 are you kidding

[DiaboliCkification]

i like Breaking Benjamin! but the sound is very bad =( bu he plays very good! =)

[TheChazas]

love Chad he's the best drumer of all time. go BB!

[hepler08]

where was this show at at Bloom? was it at the University?

[ladyjane7304]

I was at this show, I was a Bloomsburg student when they went there... this was so freakin awesome. Brought back great memories watching this video. Chad is amazing I'm really grateful he did this for us! :)

[GPlayerLogan]

I agree with idrumkingdom223...Ive waited four years to finally catch you guys live in Canada and it has come true. I bought floor tickets this morning for your concert in Saskatoon with Nickelback, Sick Puppies, and ShineDown...Dont let me down Chad you are the shit man. Even if you dont its still gonna be amazing BB is the only band that will ever be my absolute favorite!

[chadycakes]

[idrumkingdom223]

[AJAXBIGSNOOP]

cant belive that the light tech is a idiot. madaf^#% cant highlight the drums solo properly . fire that guy

[guitarmachine14]

i am so glad Chad replaced Jeremy. Chad Rules

[LouDawgy]

eat your heart out Travis Barker!!!

[finkenmaster]

that ending was fucking amazing

[PraiseHim09]

This is what Chad does when Ben needs to use the restroom on stage.

[Soccerpersonz10]

hahahahaha

could be true :D

[halomaster522]

Jesus Christ!! Is this video sped up?it looks so fast at the end!!This guy has mad skills!!Truly a god among drummers

[deadfalling12]

I saw him do that there! This concert was amazing!

[kylebower224]

yeah it was i was about 2 rows back =)

[jcdrumr02]

yo is this breaking benjamin. you guys are the best. im josh im 13 and i think ben knows my uncle john griffis. he grew up with ben. i went to ur concert at the montashe mountian in PA. you guys are the best. yo chad great videos they helped alot.peace  ur fan, josh

[WaxworksAdam]

says ur 28 on ur profile like mate

[OxiCleanFTW]

This whole solo reminds me so much of Mike Mangini's solos during Vai concerts. They have very similar technique, rudiment drummers. Hes one of my favs.

[mydrumsarebetter]

Too bad Mangini would wipe the floor with Chad.

[drummedout]

i actually think it'd be a close competition. besides, mangini is 13 years older than chad. imagine how good chad's going to be in 13 years..

[mapexlb]

lol it's called a drum roll bren.....

[BrEnNo1023]

oh man, how does he do the little rolly thing on the snare at 1:38? it'd be so cool if i could do that!

this guy is my drumming i.d.o.l.

[Krue2112]

It's a buzz roll. You push the sticks into the surface of the drum head while allowing a slight bounce.

[lolshoopedyourwhoop]

Wow. Hax lol. He is alot better then i thought he was. Props to him.

[JerichoFrost]

They didn't more so kick chad as he had to quit.... he had a kid, not wa whole lot you can do when you've got a family to take care of, you know? And if you have priorities, you can't be on tour. Just to clear that up.

(P.S. I know this because he gave me lessons for a while)

[g8z05]

actually, it was jeremy that got kicked out. and YES he WAS kicked out. then he sued the band.

[JerichoFrost]

A.) I aplogize for my mix. Look at back at this after two months, I realize I wrote "Chad" and went wtf? I meant Jeremy.

B.) Yes, he was kicked out, but it wasn't necessarily his fault, unless you'd like to say having a family and making something of yourself is a horrible thing.

[rockpunknoob]

does chad double pedal at all?

[EonJax]

He does sometimes but alot of the time he only uses one foot..he's just that damn good.

[BMhocky17]

yeh hees sometimes, the only song though (on the Phobia album) that he uses double-pedal, that I know of, is "Until The End" for the intro, but for like "The Diary of Jane" and "Evil Angel", all those double bass beats you here are done with one pedal, he uses the Heel/Toe method alot

[Volentry]

he uses slide, not heel toe.

[BMhocky17]

No they action is sliding, the actual order you hit the pedal in is your heel, then you slide down to your toe

[Volentry]

no. slide and heel toe are different techniques man. search the internet and see.

[elarki]

haha funny way to end  a solo

[abschee]

why did they kick jeremy?

[Bubblesondrums]

over a problem that jeremy didn't get money for songs he wrote or something like that i think...but i honestly think chad is better...chad makes better fills than jeremy did...

[BMhocky17]

yeh dude, Jeremy was good, and he set the tone for the signature Breaking Benjamin drums, but Chad isjust way more creative with he accents and ghost notes and all the beat variations he puts into the songs (im thinking of "Evil Angel") plus he has great showmanship

[SLDrUmMeR92]

make some noise for chad szeliga on the drums everybody.....

[BrEnNo1023]

haha! sweet, that IS what he says :D aint it weird how something can sound so bad when spoken, yet when you see it written down when it's spoken you can understand it...

[BrEnNo1023]

hey, what did ben say to the croud at the end...? curious minds here...

[tinyequestrian]

yeah i want to know too.

[groospig]

hey breakingbenpa shut the hell up he fricken rocks

[hashashine111]

i like him too.

but if you waht to know who rocks look this watch?v=ehmTBsmZhmY

[ragnargrimnar]

wow he is good, but if you watch Chad's lessons closley(at the end of the 5th one, he does the exact same thing with a lot less effort.

[breakingbenpa]

wow i hate this drummer. they should have kept jeremy...

[GroundBeef14]

He's doing that doubles trick he showed us in his second lesson! (starting from 2:35 ish)

[SLDrUmMeR92]

That show was friggin great! 5th time seein em and they keep gettin better and better! Chads solo was amazing...don't know if you remember me chris but i was the one with Jeremy haha

[tamadrummer3993]

Maaaan, i wanted to go to this concert sooo bad...I was trying to get tickets since january but they were sold out.

[GroundBeef14]

Broken english is pretty funny... I kinda feel bad laughing though (Zerocool003)

[GroundBeef14]

What was Ben saying right as soon as Chad finished?

[jerrymanley]

I was standing right next to Chad's Girlfriend while she filmed this!

[EarlMantis]

of course you were

[shallowbayTV]

This isn't Heather's video. I was standing next to her filming this for the website. Don't remember somebody standing on the other side of her though. I haven't gotten her copy yet, soon though.

[jerrymanley]
