What normally happens is that the guest drummer listens to the song through once, makes notes, time signature, structure etc. Then he takes a pass at laying down the drums how he sees fit. Chad listened to 15 seconds of a drumless track he never heard before and put down what I think is a superior line. GOAT indeed.

[@Naitorade]

Good incite … You think drummer from 30 seconds to mars feels like he’s being shown up or feel like a scrub now? Or is it ok with him cuz it’s chad ?

[@pauzeandrewind]

30 Seconds to Mars already reacted to it and they loved it

[@pauzeandrewind]

That's CRAZY!!! Wow, that's even more impressive!

Chad Smith is an alien. I just turned 56 and have been listening to RHCP most of my adult life; Chad is by far the greatest drummer I’ve ever heard.

[@JamoZNL]

Stop listening to mainstream music. There are so many better players than Chad out there. He`s a good, but not Marco Minneman good for example..

[@Skorpios1]

@@JamoZNL Ok troll

[@JamoZNL]

@@Skorpios1 Why would i be a troll? Just because i don`t agree with your opinion? You`re really 56? Sjeesj...

[@Skorpios1]

Not at all, I admire people having their own opinion; I’m just not keen on someone telling anyone to stop doing something that they enjoy because they have their own opinion about something as subjective as music. Yes, I am 56 which makes me highly aware when someone is deliberately goading me; if that wasn’t your intent, then perhaps explore a different approach.

[@JamoZNL]

Never said you should stop liking Chad Smith. But if he`s the greatest drummer you`ve ever heard it`s time to broaden your horizon my man. @@Skorpios1

Look at Chad's face and you can see how much he is listening as he is playing. Following the singers direction and guitar. Amazing. Predicting brakes, bridges and going 1000000%

Insane!

Best reaction bro!!!!!! Can’t stop watching

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you! Haha

[@joescott778]

Chad woke up that morning and said, "I'm known around the world. I'm respected by my peers and the industry... I choose violence."

[@pauzeandrewind]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 facts!

[@samhilton4173]

Since he defeated Will Ferrel he's been on the war path

[@283AngelArch]

I have been OBSESSED with this since the first time I heard it!!!! Through his own style and Musicianship, he COMPLETELY transformed this song into something EPIC and EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!! This is MIND BLOWING!!!!!!!! I love it so much. I always knew Chad Smith was an amazing drummer... but THIS?!?!? Wow.. just wow 😲

[@Jpilgrim30]

Absolutely! I’ve been watching this nonstop and it’s just as awesome every time I watch it 😂

[@schiiirm]

Ive played drums for 20 years and im great with improvising but this is just next level. I was so impressed when i heard it!!

[@filipepaivazoega3669]

Dude been out there working on his craft almost for 40 years or more, and one thing Chad does that is amazing for me, is that HE IS A GOOD LISTENER, he understood the structure of the song, and went along with it.

[@stone5against1]

@@filipepaivazoega3669 And you can see in his face when he's listening vs when he's got it and he's just killing it

[@chrissiler6075]

Shannon and Jerad have a reaction and the look in Shannon's eyes was like I'm stealing every good lick Chad played

[@pauzeandrewind]

Hahaha I saw their reaction, you're right!!

[@Anthovision]

That's exactly what I found myself saying throughout... "How does he know!?!?" He knew when to come in hard, when to let up, when to pause, when to come in hard again... Blew my mind!

[@pauzeandrewind]

Incredible!

[@Bass17yl]

I’ve been performing for 30-odd years. Having a drummer who can improv like this with a band, in a live setting, where he can see everyone for visual cues is rare. Having a drummer that can do it in a studio with a pre recorded track he’s never heard??? First time I’ve seen it!

[@pauzeandrewind]

That's wild!!

[@kharmastreams8319]

Most people don't understand the level of difficulty this is on. Chad Smith is one of the all time greatest drummers, with an incredible understanding of how a track is built from the ground up

[@BrysonRay]

Former drummer here….for Chad who has been doing this for 40plus years, it’s just a feel thing once you understand the structure of the song which you saw him figuring out before playing. For him to just kill it on one pass is insane though.

[@NockYT]

I've watched way too many reactions to this and yours is the best. Great energy, loved it.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that, thanks for watching!

[@iiitzHimmy]

I love seeing Chad catch himself on the fly to change with the song. It’s insane to see in real time.

[@mm0901]

I absolutely LOVED your reaction to this INCREDIBLE Chad Smith video that I’ve probably watched 25 times and still gives me chills every time. Love your vibe and energy! Chad Smith is a BEAST on drums!! 🙌🏻🤘🥁

[@victorrychkov2839]

I've seen a bunch of reactions to Chad's performance, but yours is by far the best one.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Oh damn, thank you!

[@alriciab.p.7936]

You called it bro, his the goat others will listen twice or more him just goes on the fly....🎉

[@josephabero]

Fire video! Chad recovered so smooth from a broken stick that you didn’t even notice 😂 8:45

[@pauzeandrewind]

Yeah, I didn't catch it until like a 5th watch! Lol smooth!!

[@circlethebaggins1865]

Chad has an amazing grasp of song structure and composition. That’s why he just piiiiicked it up off top.

[@circlethebaggins1865]

The wild part is, if you never heard this song, and didn’t know the context of the OC, you’d think this was the drummer of the actual band.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Exactly!

[@stephenparker7478]

He's a stadium musician. Been there a thousand times. He feels the changes like you feel the beat. Knows all the trad coverage, up and downs, hears it WAY early. Love this reaction, homie!

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you!

[@bradleyhutton300]

this is so crazy to me, people seem to think drumming is easy and then you see this.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Anyone who thinks it's easy is a fool! Lol this looks hard af

[@jokerisback711]

I play the guitar for almost 17 years (since im 10) and watching this video made me speechless. He nailed it 97% its awesome.

To be clear, Chad is that DUDE!

[@nstoner78]

Best reaction I seen so far! He killed this!!! G.O.A.T. Drummer

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thanks, G!

[@brockjensen2473]

To answer your question, yes to musicians this is not only impressive, I would argue it’s more impressive than to the average person with no instrumental background. I have played the drums for just shy of 7 years and I can confidently say this is one of the most impressive videos I have ever seen. To answer your question of “how does he know what’s gonna happen in the song” it’s mostly experience. He’s played drums for 40+ years, off instinct he has a feel for the music but there are also small contextual clues experienced musicians pick up on such as guitar patterns (speed, pitch, rhythm, etc.) the musicians voice can also be a contextual clue of what’s to come, etc. by no means does this take away from the absolute unbelievable performance Chad gave us here. If you go watch the drumeo channel they have other videos with drummers doing a similar challenge but with all the other ones I’ve seen they listen to the full song, make little notes and then give and attempt. Chad just went for it because that’s the type of drummer he is. Over his career he’s made it known a lot of the work is does is playing by ear. To some extent that’s something that can’t really be taught it’s pure talent and experience. If you want an example, at 8:04 in your video we have a visual of Chad doing this in real time. You’ll notice the music clearly matches that of a drum roll but since he doesn’t know the song he is late to it however just seconds later he adapts and fixes it to be the full drumroll that matches the song

[@j.t.3798]

Unbelievable! That's a gifted man

[@sample.text.]

When you're a musician, you can usually pick up on when a Chorus, Bridge, Verse comes in depending on the genre of song you're listening to. But what Chad does here is nothing short of incredible. Straight off the dome instantly, inserting complex fills before the measure even ends. Adjusting inside of 1 beat, dude the level of confidence you have to have to play so seamlessly is just unnatural. This is just oustanding.

[@blahblahgdp]

I think like the guy said in the beginning, Chad is a drum nerd so hes dabbled in a lot of genres is what im assuming.

[@prettyfa]

Your wife got great taste!!! This man is probably the best drummer I’ve ever heard!!!

[@pauzeandrewind]

I can't argue with that!

[@damontanezlmt]

Chad Smith is great. Neal Peart (RIP) is better imho.

[@joshkush8960]

Chad smith is without question one of the greatest drummers of all time. One of the coolest, smoothest, groove in the pocket drummers to ever play. The man could literally play with anyone and would make them better. HOF for a reason 🙌🏾

[@pauzeandrewind]

Spit them facts!

[@maynunal]

Chad has performed live a thousand times doing the same thing...he listens to the voice and the lead guitar and he follows from there....

[@thexalt]

I think what’s crazy about his rendition of this song is that he pushed the outro to a halftime and still ended it perfectly while pretty much ghosting it

[@DentonFeliciaCook-cw3vb]

Tryna to get someone who isn't musically trained, to understand why I'm losing my mind over here over that part, is futile. 🤣

[@bradleyjordan9418]

Chad Smith, Chad Smithed it. That's why he's Chad Smith.

[@RLstavista]

That's why he's literally the CHAD!

[@BronzDano]

New to the channel. You gave pros to the Judas Priest shirt, you sang with the song, you’re reppin Bone from head to toe…. You’ve obviously got great taste 👌🏽

[@pauzeandrewind]

Haha my man! I'm signed with Bone, so I gotta rep!!

[@tonybrandt8850]

Thugs N Harmony Thanks for doing this one. At 7:27 he didn't know, you can see the lag before he realizes what the song is doing.

[@jennfeeley1410]

Yes, and towards the very end when he drives forward thinking the song is going to build one last time and it's actually winding down.

[@obiwon_ben8028]

Chad Smith is one of the greats, to see him jump in and just let loose is incredible. Another one. 🔥🔥🔥🔥Dude, he mentioned my boys lol I grew up with Gary & Mike Way from MCR that shit is hilarious but it did sound like them.

[@pauzeandrewind]

That's wild!

[@mordechaisnyder7808]

This song has been living in my head rent free for weeks. I’ve started watching react videos just to see how blown away other people are. Your reaction is one of the best I’ve seen. Especially as a non-performer. Great job. You did a wonderful job adding context and flavor to the original. Ngl, gonna check out your channel for more. You earned a sub!

[@pauzeandrewind]

That's awesome! Thanks so much!

[@jpgonzalez6043]

Same bro.

[@Jpilgrim30]

Same 😂 I can’t stop watching these videos

[@Mrkreaso]

I’m a drummer and it’s pretty simple he’s going off the timing of lyrics he’s never heard and the guitar lead that he’s never heard. Watching this is unreal!

[@pauzeandrewind]

I'm glad a drummer can show appreciation of it, some people have been unimpressed by this. I don't see how that's possible!

[@granttaylor6925]

Yoh! good call , that was dope ; very Harry Mack like...who is also a drummer

[@Cynnas]

Watch for very slight changes in his movement, he's listening to the subtle changes in the singing anticipating the changes to the music. Amazing

[@pauzeandrewind]

I noticed! He does it almost immediately, it's astonishing!

[@jjrod2988]

"How did he know???" Because when you're the GOAT, you just know.

[@pauzeandrewind]

FACTS!

[@stonebr1ck139]

I saw like 30 reactions of this video and your is the best! Finally someone made me happy 🙂 thank you

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thanks!!

[@sarasweightlossjourney1432]

I'm not going to lie, this got me emotional. The fact that he can hear that😮

[@bigdawg702]

When hes says "it's in 3s" , he referencing the time signature where the beat is a "1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3"

[@petestottsberry1133]

He’s listening and keying of the vocals. Great musicians have a great gift of anticipation. He’s great at it! By the way, great reaction!✌🏻

[@chrissiler6075]

The overhead shows how active his kick foot is, CRAZY GOOD

[@Fanatomy7]

When he says its in 3s, he's referring to the time signature. Most common signature is 4/4, thats where you can count the bar on an 8 count. Like when dancers count in the beginning of choreo they say 5,6,7,8, they are counting the beats of the bar so they can start at the beginning of the next bar of music. Once you know a time signature, you have a small idea of structure but to transition so cleanly between verse, bridge, chorus etc without knowing the song is an incredible skill. Great reaction, got a new sub here!

[@davidpitts2766]

I absolutely Love Chad Smiths Attitude about every thing. His personality is Amazing.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Great personality for sure.

[@donaldlamendola1392]

This is like garage band days when someone would come to practice with something they came up with and everyone would just jam it till it became a song. The crazy part about this one is he even nails the tempo changes and everything just off the feel of the song. He has a gift that you can't just learn on top of being an educated drummer.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Yeah that's so impressive to me. I don't understand how people can't appreciate this kind of talent lol this stuff is crazy

[@therealchristfollower]

I do my guy.@@pauzeandrewind

[@cnucklz09]

I’m a long time bass player and I am impressed by this for sure. I have had to do things similar but he is next level. How he knows what’s coming next is that this song had a structure that is ver common. Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, break down, outro chorus. Chili peppers have a bunch of songs that follow that same pattern. It’s still not easy what he did but that’s how he can anticipate what’s coming next.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Awesome, appreciate the insight!!

[@jarhead98gaming]

Absolutely LOVE you hoodie and hat!

[@lancehill7601]

Love the Hoodie and Hat..I seen them In concert at W V state college when I was 16. Probably the best concert I've ever been to..

[@pauzeandrewind]

🔥🔥🔥

[@CarlosLiberated]

7:32- how did he know this? He would have been expecting a bridge after the second chorus where mood-wise, he would have known that he needed to ease off a bit. But you can see that he’s in full improv mode and listening, playing a fairly standard groove based on an educated guess then fully committing once he’s sure of what’s going on. He does this a few times during the song. What’s amazing though, is how little time he takes to confirm what he’s hearing, then instantly do what he feels the song needs, while making it appear nearly seamless. He goofs a few times during the song but is so adept at covering up and making adjustments that it’s really hard to notice.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Really incredible.

[@1069JKT]

Dude also broke a stick and grabbed a new one.

[@667neighbourofthebeast]

[@pauzeandrewind]

Haha awesome, thank you!!

[@tkvids1377]

As a drummer, jumping into a song you don't know isn't hard. What was really special is how seamless Chad made it. He's been doing it so long that song structure to him is 2nd nature and he can "feel" where the song is going and adapt when needed.

[@schiiirm]

That's true. I'm a long term drummer. 20 years but how he did this so well is impressive

[@Langley_Ackerman19]

RHCP loves and does a lot of improv in their concerts. This is right up Chad's alley.

[@Maverick7r]

Being a musician that loves impromptu jam sessions with everything being made up on the spot you learn to listen and feel when changes are coming. Chad has had MANY years to prefect this skill. It's a lot of fun when you get decent at listening and just getting that feel down. Chad is defiantly a GOAT!!

[@JTidiotboy]

Chad is such a fucking legend. I got to see RHCP live in 2013 and at one point they had this lighting rig lowered above his drum set. Chad finished the song, grabbed on to the lighting rig and let him carry him up like 15 feet in the air before it brought him back down.

[@pauzeandrewind]

That's dope!! Wow, that sounds wild.

[@phillipbacot2412]

Saw them around 2008-2009. Still my favorite show hands down.

When you play long enough and have good feel for music like he does anticipating changes and knowing the feel comes naturally.

[@corybagley7734]

Love the hat and hoodie my man!

[@mork5218]

That whole Drumeo playlist of "Hearing Songs For The First Time" is worth checking out - even when their interpretation winds up far from the original, it's fascinating to hear their thought processes. Chad's performance might be the craziest one yet, but Greyson Nekrutman playing Sleep Token gives it a run for its money.

[@alexander.druganov]

He knows because he has listened thousands hours of music and played thousands hours of music therefore he just FEELS what to play. Songs structures usually are quite typical. Nothing impossible, but still amazing. Chad is a GOAT 🔥

[@SnarginFlarg]

Bruh just found your channel 🤣 my guy said "look at all these symbols, in my mind they all make the same damn sound" 🤣 that got me

I'm learning to play drums. I got 3 limbs moving independently, in a steady pattern. The 4th limb ain't down for the cause yet. Chad. Is. A. Beast.

[@KEVROREACTS]

"its in 3" just count the beats "1,2,3" "1,2,3" as they come, you'll get it. It's super impressive, not because chad done a okay job with a random drum beat, but he almost nailed the same as the original. Crazy.

[@bluejjutsu]

one of my favorite drumeo vids ever!

[@3YearsApart1613]

"How does he know"? Because he has been playing drums for 35 years and he knows choruses, pre-choruses, bridges, solos, outtros, etc.

[@eriugcmdranb]

Thank you. Someone gets it. Even I can figure out where a song is going and I don't play any instruments. I've tried explaining this to people and even proved it by having them play me a song I don't know and I would guess the next part and when it's going to hit. How accurate he is, is the wild part but him guessing what's coming it's fairly routine. Also, if you pay attention he's actually a little late on a lot of sections but adapts so quickly due to that experience

[@joshmartinak4315]

He knew the time and is a master, also a master of accenting and playing with vocals. He's a seasoned stage drummer and very very good lol

[@TheRealChappie]

Hello Pauze, Drummer here for the last 20+ years. lets take you on a tour here of Chads kit: 'double cymbals' is called a high hat, it has a pedal on the floor that is in tension with a cable that drummers can manipulate for different sounds 'all the cymbals sound the same' Yes and No: Cymbals come in various thickness, diameters and made from different materials, to a trained ear like Chads or mine, all of them add a certain texture 'how did he know' This one gets into the very heart of music. All modern day music be it rock, hiphop, metal, or country has a root. That is jazz music. If you know the tempo (speed) a song is in, and you know the time signature or can figure out the time signature writing a drum part while challenging isn't impossible. Chad did all of that in his head in the first verse of the song. Most drummers (me included) need to listen to a song a few times, write out a part and get the timing and tempo down.

[@pauzeandrewind]

Awesome comment, especially about the symbols! Thanks man!

[@TheRealChappie]

@@pauzeandrewind you're welcome bro! If you ever find yourself wanting to see how deep modern music goes, react to Cole Porter 'Anything Goes' It could be reasonable stated to be the worlds first diss track. He calls out everyone of the era (30s and 40s)

[@Adigoodguy]

for catching the fact his listening to a drumless track. ima like your vid bro!

[@jeffwilson3205]

It comes down to the amount of hours he has spent playing, his understanding of rock song structure, and his ability to really listen to what’s going on in the track and adapt. Subtle changes in the guitars and vocals indicate what’s coming…but he’s also informed by song structure tropes. I’m a musician, and I can understand how he did it, but am still floored by how well he did and how hard he committed…he didn’t play safe at all…

[@pauzeandrewind]

Very well said! Thanks for sharing!

[@I-Dont-Know-Nothin]

I think that it shows how much better of a drummer that Chad is vs Leto.haha Chad is a beast!

[@IHMadeThis]

You can see him at 8 minutes misjudge the transition and start blasting the cymbals and then adjust and start playing down low. Wild.

[@maryogan215]

Lots of talent but lots and lots of playing. When his mind makes a connection to something his muscle memory is amazing. But he made the song his own also.

[@pianoman7279]

Best reaction ever!

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thanks!!

[@nickmoore360]

I'll preface with the fact that this is an incredible performance. He has in-ears audio so he's picking up the rise and drops with the singers voice at a much higher quality and audio level. But even with that it is still an insane cover. Also Chad has been playing the drums for 40+ years.

[@davidtownsend466]

like the review joined you fam all the best!!

[@pauzeandrewind]

Thank you!

[@harleyadam4813]

Chad is the ultimate LISTENING musician. He's been in the game for a VERY long time. He listens to the other musicians and most of the time, he can predict what direction the feel of the song is going. He's the ultimate "plug this guy into any song as a backup blind and trust him" drummer.

[@pauzeandrewind]

So incredible!
