[ThoraxeTheImpaler34]

I was playing my drums and got caught up in the Moment and yell "I'm as good as Chad Szeliga." and one of my cymbals fell and Smacked me in the face. 

[xxKodeyxx]

[DrMisterAleksa]

hurry up with OurAfter! i can t wait anymore since BB is gone. :)

[eminemnotlilwayne]

i;m 13 and i have benn drumming for a year. most evenings i spend looking at ways that i can improve my style of playing and watching drummers such as yourself and cobus. this is by far my favourite drum session that i have found. keep drumming YOUR AMAZING!!

[Baggsiv]

@michaelClaudio... they are black suede emporer ( REMO )

[SFSKnights]

lol whenever someone tells me what a great drummer travis barker is or fucking lars ulrich i tell them to watch guys like dave weckl, chad szeglia, dennis chambers, tony royster jr, carter beauford, or daney cary

[ntfd125]

@SFSKnights amen to that!!!

[Baggsiv]

@SFSKnights wow thanks alot for the kind words . Means alot !!

[donildduhk]

@SFSKnights yeah man, I agree, especially chad and tony, omg. although mike portnoy is pretty good too, but sometimes he falls prey to the mind numbing double bass syndrome, so I can see why you didn't include him.

[MichaelClaudio13]

what kind of heads are those i know there Remo but what series?

[KrisztianSoos]

excellent drumming, great feel, fantastic

[fuzmkitnz]

new idol

[JKRobertson95]

Hey chad just want to say thanks for all the instructionals..they have realy helped me take my drumming to a new level..however i am a big zildjian owner and i was wondering what your thoughts were about the ZBT series..thanks again..and god bless

[luccchat]

Dear chad, you should post an instructional video on how yo get your hands so fast.

[Baggsiv]

@luccchat  he brotha ... My instructional dvd is coming out in DEC and it shows all my secrets and techniques I do to get speed . You should check it out

God bless

[Kudan26]

@Baggsiv How can we get it when it comes out?

[Baggsiv]

@Kudan26 it will be at guitar centers and any music store all over the world ..... Thanks for the support

[logansdrums]

this guys got a danny carey,tony royster jr feel

[Fuelie79]

This guy's the fucking man! So glad I got to meet him at Rock on the Range! I can't imagine what would have happened if people actually knew he was playing with Hourcast...

[anunstealthynacho]

what kind of ride are you using?

[xXxPYRATExXx]

That's a really awesome solo!!

What kind of hats are you using?

[baxslol]

@xXxPYRATExXx he uses Zildjian 13" A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hats

[rith5]

Hey Chad or his better half! Just want to say that part where Chad (or you lol) alternated from doubles to singles playing the same pattern was very smooth and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, we're all so grateful you take the time to put some of these vids up.

Cheers from Australia.

[Baggsiv]

@rith5 thanks so much ..... I try to share everything !!



[AKhaleeq]

i just want you to show me that fucking lick at 4:53. sssiiicccckkkkk

[Calebdrums5679]

I don't want to see Chad cover anything. I want to see more of his work. Chad, I love the video lessons on some of the BB songs. I'm still trying to work out "Breath". I'd like to see a biopic or something. Anything to give scrubs like me some hope. How long you been playing? Most important basic skills to master? What music styles to learn? That kind of shit.

[Kudan26]

Now is har to see if someone uploaded videos, but when I see chad szeliga I was like OMG new video :)

awesome solo

also if I can choose I would love to see any song of avenged sevenfold, that would be on metal, If I want something more "jazzi" I would ask for some half time shuffle like rosanna - toto or fool in the rain -led zeppelin

[aMANnamedMikey]

I assume all that is going on in the headphones is a metronome..

The more I watch of you drumming the more and more up the "Best Drummer" line you climb

As for a cover, if you've ever seen VaDrum (I assume you have) could you do something similar to him, such as taking a classical song and writing a drum line over it? I think that'd be pretty bad ass

[DrumingNetwork]

Hey Chad that snare sounds sweet is it a Remo Black X snare head?

[adiaddict]

Il say it before and il say it again, the most under rated drummer in the world, my personal favourite and i have seen all the 'greats' like Portnoy, Peart ect but theirs something about Chad that smashes them, on both a technical level and a charisma one, just my opinion though! keep the videos coming!!! They inspire me everyday :)

[reddragon4430]

cool

[Baggsiv]

Video tour of the kit coming soon ......

[PSYCHOMaggot666]

@Baggsiv

I really think you should do an instructional DVD, ala Derek Roddy or George Kollias. I know you have all the videos from Shallow Bay showing how to play songs and whatnot, but an actual DVD with all your knowledge on how to play and your technique... Priceless.

OH, and if I can give my input on a song you should cover, I vote for anything done by Rush. I wanna see your take on anything Peart has done. Thats just me though...

[Baggsiv]

@PSYCHOMaggot666 my instructional DW DVD comes out in December .... God Bless

[RoshanDrummer]

@Baggsiv

Hey chad! that would be awesome! can't wait!

[bjfx123]

@Baggsiv you still got the same kit bro?...would love to see a tour of the kits you use for shows and that beauty there!

[Baggsiv]

@AshtonMontgomery..... What cover would you like me to play .... ?

[CalTamaDrummer]

@Baggsiv dance with with the devil would be really cool. but id like to see your favorite song.

[Wast3dsacrafice]

@Baggsiv Something related to your roots, some "heavy" jazz or funk. I don't know if heavy is the correct word to describe it. Jing Chi, or Lee Ritenour if you know them.

You know what... Do a cover of a song YOU love. hahah

[luxus51]

hey chad,..how often you change head on drums ?

[iTsNotTimm]

You gotta love his unique style

[AshtonMontgomery]

chad i think you should def do at least 1 drum cover, itd be tight as shit man

[DrummingRyan]

dude those hats are awesome

[CaptCinnabon]

whats the finish his that kit?

[XxDeathgazeXx]

du tier :DDDD

[mdb305]

Chad is so awesome. I can't name a single other famous drummer who takes time to make videos like this for their fans.

[anthonyjohn14]

lol That ride is so not made for jazz

Great playing though

[Wast3dsacrafice]

@anthonyjohn14 Considering his main focus is Breaking Benjamin, I wonder why =P But I don't think it takes away from the "epicness" at all. =D

[GillsFan91]

He's done it again legendary as always.

[big0cable]

chad. you are one legend behind the kit

[appleseed666]

Do a video tour of that setup please :)

[joey28594]

hey man :) thanks for  all the vids :) appreciate them. can you possibly message me and tell me how you got where you are :) i would love to know cause its what i want to be when im older :) thanks for everything

[Blizzard0008]
