[hackysackdude120]

[FlorianWaletzko]

holy crab he catched it!!!!

[iceydanpowns]

[evaldo310]

Cara que baterista cháto, aff!!!

9:55 seg brincando de tocar bateria, patético!!!

Baterista de butéco do caramba...

[Wiskey1408]

what song is this!?

[janeFRUSIE]

@Wiskey1408  the song called Charlie from there last album stadium arcadium...

[loudsoundman]

i would love to meet this guy, best drummer ever, his style inspires me, and I heard he breaks steel rims, quickly

[alexfraley]

@loudsoundman You talking about the hoops on the drums? I don't think he does.

[loudsoundman]

@alexfraley yeah apparently he breaks the edges of the snare drum with rimshots

[alexfraley]

@alexfraley I sure thats happend, but if he's doing that regularly, then he's hitting too hard.

[pacificdrumma]

@alexfraley theres no such thing as hitting too hard

[alexfraley]

@pacificdrumma actually yea there is especially with snares and cymbals, you can only get so much sound out of a snare or cymbal, after that point hitting it harder only decreases the longevity of the equipment. playing harder past that point also slows you down. Travis barker dosen't even break the rims like that, and he hits harder than anyone I've ever seen, horrible technique, but he still hits the hardes.

[pacificdrumma]

@alexfraley sometimes it isnt just hitting hard. I mean, I hit fairly hard but I got through sticks faster than the hardest hitting drummer that i know. Its because i do rim shots. so maybe its the mechanics of his hitting rather than how hard he hits. cymbal cracking has more to do with how you hit, not as much how hard. as far as slowing down, chad smith isnt a metal drummer, so laying down a heavy groove is more important than speed

[alexfraley]

@pacificdrumma I see what your saying, and you can pretty much hit a cymbal anyway you want, and not crack it. its how hard you hit it. and yea, I have the same problem, try tilting your snare towards you. make sure you can still do a rim shot. and dosen't really matter about mechanic, how hard you hit is how hard you hit. there are more efficent way to hit but still its about how hard, and no matter what style of music your playing,

[agwar143]

till 2:50 is stand up comedy

lol

[tjdrummer13]

this argument happens so much on youtube about drumming....you can't say "this drummer is the best" because there are just to many styles to be good at. of course you can have favs like i love danny carey for progressive rock, chad or mayb derico is my fav for funk...maybe one day there will be a drummer who kicks ass at every genre but thats about as likely as the second coming of jesus.....maybe it will be jesus.....that would be fucking awsome.

[billpeart]

yes, music is not a sport. true musicians dont debate such frivolous crap. i doubt dave weckl and akira jimbo are dabating about bill bruford being better than mike portnoy or the other way around. or even saying one of them is the best. its like debating if orange soda is better than grape. its all personal taste!

[tjdrummer13]

exactly right, except there is no question that orange soda is better then grape.

[billpeart]

your kidding right? grape is totally the best!!!

I wonder if soda commercials on youtube have this kind of debate in the comment section?

[SuperDrummerJoe]

@tjdrummer13 ha, jesus, or Weckl :P he can do ANYTHING! god like drummer.

[ediblecheddar]

I was there! He made everyone move the seats forward!! xD

[noodle654]

I wish he played nobody weird like me! That is a killer on drums

[ultimatefighter187]

i love him and you guys might hate me but i prefer him over bonham.(but i still worship bonham and zeppelin)

[edd562]

dont worry he site bonham as an influence so they shouldnt hate u

[EaFoTre21]

he definately knows what he is doing

[tringplacebo]

CHAD SMITH is BIG drummer

Hi is *''LEGEND''*

[Kobyzinhow]

@tringplacebo u just forgot one thing: HE IS 'THE' LEGEND

[thirgul]

@tringplacebo Asian much?

[hawdonater]

oh fair enough

[hawdonater]

:L:L:L whats that supposed to mean

[konanian]

Go watch a guy like Eric Singer, much more relaxed, more dynamic , better command of his rudiments. Chad is pro, no doubt, but everything sounds Chili Pepper with him, very predictable, all funk and nothing else.

[samg789]

umm ok?? eric singer and chad smith are in two totally different styles of music, funk isn't meant to have that many dynamics in it, and yea usually when you been playing in the same band for twenty years you usually sound alot like the stuff in your band!!

[Frankay615]

well that's what happens when you're playing drums to a chili pepper song... it's going to sound "chili pepper" lol

[xDISOBEYx]

his drums sticks are really long

and he hits fucking hard gotta love him though

[BoxOfdeadBabies]

yeah, popping the snare, well hitting it hard, gives the funk beats alot more power and just makes it a whole lot funkier.

chad is a god at funk, his hi hat work and grace notes are amazing!

[JasonCFunk]

its will ferrell!!

no sorry

if this offended any of u fans.

i love chad.

[scharlakans]

looks like will farrell all day long

[KVA808]

One of the best drummers ever!!!

[KingRobb87]

haha chad smith reminds me of will ferrell so much:P

[vegadomis32988]

red hot chili peppers have just as slow songs... and remember the imigrant song that was fast

[metallopurosempre]

hes better than bonham sto cazzo!!!!! ma nn dite porchette

[adamo36532]

ur a retard

[metallopurosempre]

never get late

[picpocarmy]

Lui bonham se lo mangia a colazione...ha un gioco molto più ricco e una padronanza assoluta dello strumento..

In più riesce ad arrivare al limite come e meglio di bonham nella ritmica

[metallopurosempre]

mmmm secondo me no... comunque dal punto di vista tecnico puo darsi che tu abbia ragione ma bonham è bonham cioè stiamo parlando di un uomo che suonava la batteria con le mani.... per non parlare dei timpani da orchestra bonham e stato un batterista leggendario e di riferimento per molti chad smith non sara mai un mito come lui non potra mai rivoluzionare il mondo della batteria come fece bonham.e poi non mi sembra proprio che bohnam non "regga il limite" come dici tu...

[vegadomis32988]

hes better then bonham

[chuckD0Tstax]

eh, bonham didn't have much to work with, slow songs and stuff

[elduder83]

Bonham invented the triplets? you can't be serious

[ValentineQ14]

sorry that came out wrong. He invented the tom triplets or as you may hear them called "bonham triplets" you know, Right, left, kick. i don't know the proper term for it

[lloyddixon35]

swing and jazz drummers had been doing that before bonham had been born

[ValentineQ14]

hm i didn't know that sorry. Thats just what i heard.

[adamo36532]

7:30 LMAO

[Maxouel31]

Alors là jdois dire que ça poutre sévère ! :)

Excellent drummer !

[bennyboy273yeah]

so many drummers out there practice so much and do so many great compositions. But nothing can beat the style of chad smith, his approach to the drumset is so hard, attacking, powerful and groovey nothing can come close to that, no one can teach you your own style, and chad made him self one hell of a style!

[scrambled77]

shit mofo!! amen brother!! you and me r on the same page, u hit the nail on the head and your names benny too!!! peace man. chad smith numero ono!!! x

[garriffraf]

I agree completely, i am a huge, huge chad fan, although my name is not benny.

[thowit]

great cymbal choice!

[theozzman91]

chad has the best kick ive ever heard. just a single kick and follows fleas bass line? hes a genius.....

best drummer ever. period.

[Metalman]

Great vid. He rocks

[rekrap1963]

COOL, I was in that crowd, it was hilarious when he called the security guard an ass hole!
