As a former drummer, one can really hone this type of skill by doing what's called improv swing/jazz. I learned in band class back in middle school where the music starts and you have to quickly learn to feel the music and come up with the drums on the spot without overpowering the rest of the group. After awhile, you can almost "predictively feel" where different key changes and stuff are coming in the song based solely on muscle memory.

Most all of the Drumeo videos have drummers listening through the song, making notes/charts, having multiple passes...but this video with Chad Smith was something special - he jumped right in and was awesome! Great reaction!
@TheDeadStretchАй бұрын
and now because of Chad any drummer that has came on after has made a comment either "I'm doing it like Chad" or "I'm not gunna do it like Chad did." lol He slightly changed the format for some of the drummers without even trying to.

You really think a musician.... That listens to multiple different types of music daily never heard this song before? I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I can guarantee he has heard this song on the radio before. Stop being a simp. Dude is a joke

I think this is the same kind of pop/rock song structure that ALL such bands understand. It's super intuitive, but then you get to see the more dramatic stylistic flourishes different musicians make (or don't).

As a drummer, once you know the time, in this case 3, you've got it... it's just a pattern built in 3 that repeats and Chad's years of experience can lead him through breaks and changes and look almost flawless... keeping mind that chad Smith has been playing drums for 40 years and has forgotten more about drums than most people know
@batigo211Ай бұрын
Chad Smith is one of those GOD level drummers! It is unimaginable what this gentleman can do with drumsticks, I had the opportunity to see them live with the RHCP and they are amazing, EVERYONE in the band. I have seen him playing live metal reef by Pantera, Korn and Deftone, that is, genres that are completely different from RHCP and he played them as if nothing had happened, you can see that he is a drummer who breathes that and lives from it, his memory music is incredible, it is not for nothing that he has been doing this for more than 40 years.
@MrFelixifyАй бұрын
The series is also of other drummers listening to drum less tracks. But usually they listen to the whole song and takes notes, Chad is just a giga chad and couldn't give a shit and just jumped straight into it jamming style.

It’s been funny, but that’s something *none* of the reaction channels got. the drum teachers were so clued into what is he hearing to queue him, that they missed he started playing the generic drum beat that drummers play as the pop-punk sterotype. He just threw it in perfectly on beat and in measure that they were like, that’s gotta be something queuing him in to that for those last measures 😂

What strikes me in these drumming challenges is that drum kits are so different. (I don’t play drums.) The way they play for certain songs is not only dependent on how you’ve been trained but also what your drum kit is. Chad is so clearly an experienced and intuitive musician.

What was so amazing about this is that with every other one I've seen that they've brought in to do this, they all had to listen to the song several times, and take notes on it, and be like "let me hear the bridge one more time." It was an all day thing. But not Chad. He listened the first 10-15 seconds of the song and just jumped in and freaking killed it.

Totally, if you pay attention he follows Jared's very expressive vocal queues, accenting them during the transitions, sometimes missing the onset but doing so in a way that sounds seamless still when he leans into it because he picks it up so quickly and has total confidence when he powers forward.

I second the Dirk Verburen (Megadeath drummer) videos. He's just a really funny, upbeat guy, but he's also REALLY talented and good at coming up with drum tracks for songs. He has 2 videos with Drumeo. One of them for Mr. Brightside by The Killers, and then a song by Paramore. Both are great videos of another craftsman getting to work their skill and talen.

For me, the most impressive part is at 9:25 . The guitar is building, probably a breakdown or the chorus is to follow and he's about to hit the crash, but stops midair. This guy is the drum goat. Edit: You probably will also enjoy Dirk Verbeurens attempt on Mr. Brightside. Also a banger video from this series

Right! The song structure is super intuitive when you're used to it. I've also had directors swear Mozart is super intuitive once you know a little because the classics usually follow their own rules. Or, as we also learned, one must learn the rules of the [blank] so they can break them creatively.

I'll also make another suggestion of a very recent band that I would love to see more reactions too. Long Island Hardcore is having a big resurgence right now and the band "Koyo" are my current favorite. LIHC is a bit more emo tinged than NYHC so I actually think you'd really dig the band. They just released a brand new single and music video called "Mile A minute."
@Draugul2 ай бұрын
Ow I may have an "Emo" band for you. They were really popular here. there is a English and a German version of the song. Tokio Hotel. If you already know the band and the song: Monsoon, Then there is still the German version, Durch Den Monsun. It's not really the music I listened to often back then. But I like this song. In those times I was more listening to VNV Nation, "Beloved" is still a favorite of my. Then there is the band Qntal With the song, "Entre moi et mon amin." Don't know if these songs can be called Emo in the US. But here in the Netherlands they were part of the Emo scene. Lets say, it was never really a form of music here. It was more a way to be, and it brought with it some sort of music. Most of the time sad songs, not gonna lie. 😅

There's the female drummer from the Warning? They really pushed her limits? Did better than OK. I don't pretend to know much about drumming and drummers but Keith Moon the Loon from the Who was so out there it was the bass player, The Ox, who actually held the band together. Animal from the Muppets was allegedly based on Moon? No wonder he's my favourite Muppet? I also loved felt sorry for Beaker though.
