[ballsendeep]

birdland lol

[rockingeightyfour]

That drumkit is made in Holland- The Hague and designed by Hanky Pankey, the Tatoo artist from Amsterdam which did the inking on Anthony Kiedis' back :)

I have seen the drumkit here in the shop, after the tour it was auctioned to raise money for a fund.

[DrumYourFaceOff1]

check out the package

[VitorHugoBMX]

people should understand that theres is no competition in music, and by the way chad and travis have different style

[gunnieboy]

he doesnt just look like will ferrel tho, he fucking acts like him to :P

[soloproject11]

wow, who would have thought I'd ever see chad drumming to birdland! one of our favourite high school tunes at north sydney boys' high, hahaha. He does a great job and I'm pretty sure I had that same look of üh oh what now' in the same spot =P

[ShelburneWhat]

sweet socks man

[bobymaker]

what's the song in this video?

[slinky1killed1bill]

@bobymaker it's Birdland by Weather Report

[adds102]

Those jeans look a little tight Chad...

[hettfield009]

I was at my friend house and was listening to a Chili's song and started air drumming a little and my friend was laughing her ass off!! xD Chad is the best!! :D can't wait for their new record

[TheTwicey]

which drums and cymbals is chad using at last?

[Exessis]

@TheTwicey

Sabian cymbals and Pearl drum set

[noah112234]

check out that package!

[ludwigdrummers]

i love the section from 0:56 - 1:12

CHAD'S FACE xDDDDD

Chad Smith & RHCP & the bombastic meatbats & Chickenfoot & John Frusciante solo 4 ever

[iTzN0sc0pez]

lol will ferrel on drums lol just joking but chad and will look really a like!

[willywonka9191]

aha, look like will ferrel? XD



[M13ST]

lol Too much WeeD.!!!

[drg92asturias]

birdland

[papertowelzftw123]

@evilquinquinburger

dude omg. he does.

[evilquinquinburger]

the guy on bass looks kinda like steuart from mad tv

[loho174]

hahaha he was gettin tired after awhile

[RobertoLeith]

not at all..he uses Pearl. It's not that special.

[Iithuanianboy]

Well considering it's a DW 4 piece with a custom finish, I'd price it at around $4k, more or less. With those cymbals, maybe $5000.

[tameemz90]

lithuanianboy a custom dw 4 piece would round up from 2500 - 3000 dollars. (unless you buy a crazy 28inch bass drum and the biggest tom sizes then it would cost around 3500 - 4000 dollars)

[BreakupBass]

@TheDevilWearsPradaa screamo has nothing on chad smith and the peppers. but you're probably in high school anyways

[TheDevilWearsPradaa]

and this is why i will never buy any of his products or any rhcp cds.

[spaghettihero]

@TheDevilWearsPradaa wow thats a poor reason. You apparently like a band that only shreds and screams.

[Hodge329]

@TheDevilWearsPradaa why? its just a little joke...

[OutsideThe9ine]

Why is Will Farrell playing drums without a kit? i wonder if anyone told him he looks like will farrell

[Lancelordkind]

Actually, someone did. That's why he went on Conan O'Brien with a "I'm not Will Ferrell" T-shirt.

[SilentBombr]

Funny guy

[flippaton]

i do air drum everywhere

[wayne1515]

i air drum walking in my house when i cant play drums .

i air drum in the car and when im walking i air drum on knees i air drum all the time .

[javier20893]

[dhorvat93]

...i usually play air drums,when my family is sleeping.Its good for cordination and mind :))) trust me you need to try it :D

[diarrheagiver]

@dhorvat93

and i thought i was the only one playing air drums :D i felt like an idiot and so damn good at the same time :D something told me that if i wouldnt be do it, id somehow have problems when i finally get some real drums :D:D and even if chads playing airdrums, he still improvises if you take a closer look at ... 0:24 to 0:25 for example:D chad fucking rules

[TheSuperSaiyanNoob]

haha chad smith is badass

[noeee33]

wtf??? this is retarded

[tyballast]

Chad is a god...look at him playin with the band, he's just so relaxed and like "wtf is up?"

[pearldrmmr4]

[mindfreak990]

@devdev941 I agree. Travis Barker is awful.

[Andman02]

[Quimbinator]

@Andman02 Everyone 

[AvlisLW]

@devdev941 well DUHH

[noobicus2]

@devdev941

That's not saying much. Travis Barker is one of the least musically talented players I've ever heard.

[Fred7080]

@devdev941 : And he's the cooler guy!

[yezek67]

@devdev941 agreed



[mussman717word]

@devdev941

Haha, that's not even an opinion. It's just fact.

[PRIEBLE]
