Came back to drumming after many years away. Had I stayed with it all those years, well I would hope to be half the drummer you are, but a guy can dream, right? Music has changed a lot since the 70's, but two of the first songs I learned after coming back were yours... well, I am still working on this one. Major change and challenge and thanks for the inspiration.
u need a new battery in your smoke detector! Morgan is a great influence, one of my favorite drummers, he can keep a groove like no other and his style of playing is un-matched! BB and 7D for life
WOW. He is rocking this out with hot rods. Man I try playing with hot rods and I sound like I am playing with two big rubber mallots. I knew I liked his drumming but he is now my new favorite drummer. I still cannot believe how smooth he is. JUST AWESOME. Yes the smoke alarm was funny as I have that problem as well in my basement.
@MrDaAnimator ok.. They are both great drummers, but you gotta think that chad is not the same style as joey, and its to different styles. They are both on my top ten drummers, but it wouldnt be a good battle.
Dude, you're awesome! I love the funky grooves you laid down during the GC Drum off video from 1998! That really showed your chops from 12 years ago! Awesome!
Dude, you're awesome! I love the funky grooves you laid down during tHe GC Drum off video from 1998! That really showed your chops from 12 years ago! Awesome!
I've met chad a few times (I live by Wilkes-Barre where they're based out of) and he's one of the most helpful and chill drummers out there. He actually does tell you things about how to get better because he really wants drummers to get better as a whole. Great musician and a great person.
Who the hell gave this video a thumbs down? Honestly, Chad is probably one of the coolest drummers out there in rock music. Not the greatest but definitely my favorite in the way he plays in a jazz/funk kind of way (where most drummers just do simple stuff). I played this song on drums and I get this kick ass feeling every time.
I wish he got more into his drumming. his stuff is badass but if he added that attitude of the music's vibe on stage it would be even better. but most of the time he is just chill.
Wow. A world class drummer, taking his own time at home, to personally break down and discuss his ideas, thoughts, and techniques..incredible! Such a great guy and incredible drummer. Hoping to see Breaking Benj live soon!
because he grew up playing funk and jazz, has made him the best thing ever happened to BB. The rest of the band was better than Jeremy... when Chad came in, he allowed them to go to the top!
Wow Sevendust has been my fav band and drummer for about 9 years. I'm REALLY turning on to Chad and I was just floored to hear him give props to Morgan. What a small world eh?
I just recently fell in love with this song and in the searching videos to get a better idea of how to play it i came across chad's lesson and thought who the hell is this guy to be giving lessons on a breaking benjamin song...little did i know he's their actual freakin drummer!!! Stupid me. this guy is amazing and i really appreciate him! Thanks so much chad. you inspired me on a daily basis
"huh?" haha, man I love this guy, reminds me of his lesson #3 where his like kinda impressed with himself for coming up with Shal-low-bay for Trip-pi-lets, and also "I'm doing the double stroke roll duuude, see that!" haha hilarious
thx heather this is dan from facebook we chatted for a tad u rock and keep these coming =D u and chad r amazing people giving back like this may u live long and propersous lives =D
o yeah i know he had a zil on top of his main crash, i ment to say i didnt know he had a seperate ice bell, which is what it sounds like he used in the song
You're absolutely right about the styles thing. I listen to all kinds, rock, pop, RnB, fusion, latin, you name it! IMO it broadens the view on drumming, and the approach to play a groove that fits a song.
You need a new battery in your smoke detector--and btw I LOVE BB!!! ;-)
