chad smith solo

[GBWagner1]

Is he refining crude oil meanwhile?

(I mean in small quantities.)

Anyway: very fine drummer: creative, play musically, playfully and not a double bass maniac.

[MrYorch23]

@masoncjohn he never use double bass, he's freaking good with one pedal, and actually he use the slide method

[masoncjohn]

when he's using his bass drum is he using the heel toe method or is he actually double bassing? i cant freakin tell but totally awesome

[RemoKinga]

Chad smiths fat funky beats > Smooth, perfect sounding DJ beats.

[iWentToNam]

swear to god some of his fills sounds like double bass plus tom, but i watched and its just one kick.... hes got a fast right foot and is really precise....

[MLplayer78]

the hat is awesome, but how does it not fuck with the overhead mics?

[Stopschildfrau]

i need that hat.......

[StevenInATree]

love the paradiddles

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

i love how much he get's into his grooves

[Drummerr1771]

legendary!!!

[Slipstream0001]

Blood Sex Sugar Majik + this VHS were awesome for my drumming.

[satelliteradio711]

i came for a solo, i stayed for the flaming hat

[zackattack94]

this is one those drum solos that are fucking complex but.....it has groove to it and....it sounds fucking awesome

[AwesomeVideosHere]

This is the best solo I've ever seen chad do. Anyone know a better one?

[temporaryname73]

@AwesomeVideosHere- Try a video called  Chad Smith drum solo at LDC

[MrYorch23]

@AwesomeVideosHere yes, check the solo in the Eastern Rim DVD in a drum clinic in Melbourne

[StickFunk]

ahhh i hate when i watch this and sit down to play and realize i cant do any of this

[o0Nasildrip0o]

definitely improvised and fuckin sick

[Harry427]

ok, im not gna, i think drum solos are dullllll. this is incredible though!!

[jamjam609]

Definitely one of my favorite solos from Chad.

[devspsn]

He's the best, and the fill at 0:12, pure genius as well as 0:27, and well the whole thing lol

[11193dom]

check out that speed at 2:23

[11193dom]

@11193dom it sort of sounds like the beginning of Shake Your Rump from Paul's Boutique

[yeyodles]

@11193dom it was clean as hell too

[DjSymphonicDS]

@11193dom

Why the people only thinks in the speed!! check the groove, the feeling!!!

[11193dom]

@DjSymphonicDS I don't only think about speed, I was just amazed at how fast he was moving.

[RHCP9181]

yep thats right. i met chad 3 days after they made that video and he showed me how to do that. ive known chad for like 23 years

[adrenaline33867]

[RHCP9181]

[gibson00000000000000]

he used every part of his drum set, not that many drummers do that nowadays, he made his 6-piece set sound like an 11-piece set

[1Sifting]

@gibson00000000000000 Not to mention with fire on his head.

[TheAaj123]

What the hell happened at 2:22?!!! I've watched this so many times and I still have no idea how he did that!

Amazing...

[QuipyGirbo]

@TheAaj123 just 32 notes,,,simple but fast

[adds102]

Does anyone know what snare he was using on this dvd?

[zackattack94]

@adds102 he says it in a video something like a picolo ludwig vintage snare drum...not sure

[Th3RichHobo]

[182ObViOuSlaM44]
