Chad Smith playing Moby Dick with japanese drummers

Chad Smith is a great drummer, but that movie he did with Kevin Hart wasn't that good.

[@mustacheman4476]

Yeah I really didn't like him in that movie either. Likewise with his performance in that movie with Mark Wahlberg

[@r.p.mcmurphy6328]

I never liked that stupid "ELF" movie either. I did like him as MOGATU in "ZOOLANDER" though.

[@mustacheman4476]

+christopher franzman yknow Chad smith looks a lot like RHCP's drummer Will Ferrell!

[@r.p.mcmurphy6328]

+Mustache Man Yeah he does! Anthony Kiedis from THE STOOGES looks like IGGY POP from the CHILIPEPPERS, too. Haha!

[@shimonbenloulou1778]

+jody howell theres a bit on a late show, where chad smith and will ferrell go against each other on a drum off.

[@firstmusic00]

People can say what they want. But Chad is a solid, accurate drummer. No complaints from me....though I'm not Chili Pepper fan.

[@sampotter873]

SAME

[@jamescurnow9934]

Every chili pepper song is so different your bound to find one that you like

[@DylansPearl]

Japanese drummers : pure demonstration of technique Chad Smith : pure groove and creativity

[@irvingramirez3351]

pure demostration of bullsh*t the first one haha

[@laszlo5366]

@@irvingramirez3351 why

[@irvingramirez3351]

@@laszlo5366 because he was just playing random notes without any kind of musicality or feeling or coherence, music is not just playing notes, it is an Art and art is about feelings, not mathematics, what's the point of filling sheet music with meaningless notes?

[@TheMattPhoenix]

This isnt a drum off, its drummers showing Chad what they can do. In this case hes the sempai. No competition, they show what they can do, Chad plays with them. :) they're honored, and so is Chad

[@ricksharp5749]

Well put

[@arthuraa2296]

And it's cool

[@14ricki]

7:43 Quest Ruv stares deeply and romantically into the eyes of Will Ferel as they pound away on their bass drums.

[@eldong5250]

Is this a traditional drum off? By traditional rules?

[@Theswanana12]

what are the rules?

[@Theswanana12]

oh wait, i get it now, just saw the other video

I love Chad so much he is always smiling and having a fantastic time !!

[@weriakable]

my god, that second japanese drummer beat was SO GOOD

[@johngroetch8817]

That's the most fun I've ever had watching other people play - those kids will never forget that experience and I'll bet Chad won't either

[@battlesickloner]

I come back to this video from time to time over the years. Such a good vibe. Id like to see and interview with Chad about it.

[@clutch1141]

Chad stole the souls of 7 Asian drummers that night....

[@lkzprd]

man the second dude killed it ... you can see that chad was enjoying himself !

[@filmer750]

Awesome drummers and band members were awesome too!!

[@Metal_333]

Imagine ONE single you tube video of Chad Smith with out the infamous Will Ferrell comments from people?, maybe in a parallel universe, geeeeeeeeez!

[@goodpeopleoftheworldunite]

It is, for sure, a joke for the ages. It's a shame i don't get it though 😐

[@Helo1able]

I think it's pretty cool that Chad took the time to let these players have some of his spotlight. Stand-up move.

[@Thunderdog73]

If any of you find yourself in Japan in a talented drumming collaboration, your comments will magically become valid. Chad is an eternal skill.

[@gounderusbyMichaelTomlins]

I actually dug this - Chad let people rock, then collaborated so brilliantly on jams, and then kicked his own brand of buttock. What a great drummer! The Japenese musicians rocked, too!

[@GapBruno360]

chad smith is so underrated , he is a great drummer .

[@Mao-max454]

難しいテクニックをこれでもか、というくらいに並べてるドラマーのKZbinも観るけど こういうストレートなドラムも凄くいいですね。 Chad Smith好きになりました(^^)

He is alright. A little sloppy to be honest.

This only builds the anticipation for Anchorman 2!!!!!

Where's the cowbell?

[@canturgan]

***** Well spotted sir!

[@captaincrunch2100]

We need more cowbell. I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

[@sideoutside]

Cowbell is trash.

[@robinwilliams5794]

Chad is showing us all how even a great famous drummer can be so generous by playing WITH these these other drummers and giving them the space to fly and shine.

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Moby Dicko. :)

[@tusharsairam6166]

hahaha

[@dandandan01]

chad's such an inspiration. always playing with a smile on his face, looking like he's having fun, and actually appreciates the other drummers.

[@Metalbassjoe]

Hell, you can get a great jam on bass with this!!

[@chickdrummer88]

Pure joy on everyone's face. I love it!!

i never knew will ferrel was a drummer

did you touch my drum set?

[@fmills1583]

[@mrpearl1]

Thank you very much for that show. Really enjoyed it!

[@عمادابوالمجد-ص1ف]

Got the pleasure to guide him in the Egyptian museum 2 days ago 🤜

[@Thunderdog73]

that was such a great concert!

[@DubsCat_]

6:36 when Chad stopped playing and then they jumped back in, I got shivers

[@DUMNo1]

That looks fun as hell who cares if the guitarist doesn't have feeling the drummers do.

[@jeffcampbell668]

i've heard every RHCP album, some more than others and i'm a fan but not obssessed. i just finished my 3rd reading of "Scar Tissue" and i've seen their live stuff on dvd and youtube. so given that is it safe to say that the "quiet one" came alive when introducing the tune. also chad has just turned me into a huge fan of his skills after seeing this. right on!!!!!!!

[@andrewreed5326]

The first guy drummer with the glasses goes so hard o.o Chad's like, 'oh, shit!'

[@forasec]

fun to watch and listen. love the lady drummer at 7:00! they had a lot of fun and you could feel the energy.

[@Gourav_Guitarist]

3:40 that green t-shirt japanese took over Chad!

[@RedRedNZ]

This is one of my favourite videos ever!!

[@fernandodonato100]

JOHN HENRY BONHAM ES UNICO ¡UNICO!

[@drewper73]

Props to those drummers for getting out there with Chad Smith and playing whatever they wanted! I don't think the goal of this little get-together was to find out who had the baddest solo chops in the building. It was about entertainment and having fun!

1st girl is damn great !! :D

[@Halocline]

Japan never fails to amaze me when it comes to everything they do!

[@brett3442]

Wow that guitarist has no feeling in her playing. What a lot musicians don't realize is that technical playing isn't enough to be great. You have to have emotion flowing through your body and into the sounds that you make

[@doktorjustice486]

also, it is a fucking cover song

[@brett3442]

your point?

[@doktorjustice486]

She is playing it to play it...not for passion

Keep your advices to your students, wisenheimer...

Anybody notice the cowbell on Will Ferrell's drumset?

[@markjames8664]

Chad is having so much fun!

[@albitcapinigro1107]

He plays this like a 90's hard rock drummer which is exactly what he is. NO SWING.

[@GerM_tbo]

..... WHAT!!??

[@brockwalls1413]

TheRealCritique So what you're saying is that to be a good drummer, you have to take swing lessons even if you'll never play swing?

[@Johnny6666]

***** No - he's suggesting rock drummers develop some practical knowledge of jazz rhythms and techniques in the hope it will inform their playing in other genres (and give some 'swing' to their rudimentary rock vocabulary). As John Paul Jones said of John Bonham: “Bonzo had very broad listening tastes. When we weren't listening to James Brown or Otis Redding, he might be listening to Joni Mitchell or Crosby Stills Nash & Young. Bonzo was a great lover of songs.”

[@albitcapinigro1107]

Yup. Old school rock drummers like Bonham, Moon, Paice, Mitchell grew up on big band music and you can hear it in their playing. They swung. Not a straight, linear feel like Chad Smith and other drummers from his generation.

[@vikram8578]

+johnny albit wanna hear swing? listen to higher ground by RHCP

[@johnleney9541]

For me there'll never be another JHB, but these guys can all play

[@ownageyeahful]

so this is what will ferrell has been up too lately

[@BreezyBeej]

[@FrankCaffeine]

Could he be any more like Will Ferrell?

[@StiffAftermath]

I did not know Will Ferrell could drum!!!! Man sweeeeet! BTW that second drummer was friggin awesome, especially at the back-and-forth with Chad!!

[@Eyecon33]

its bass tom tom or tom tom bass in any variation. depending on groove and depending on when your coming back into the beat....its all preference. I personally like to come in with a strong bass/crash without needed to double the bass to hit the 1 count with both.

[@dixy2k]

One of the greatest living today.

[@redhotchilifan98]

he is easily one of the greatest drummers I have ever seen

[@giannicalmettes8560]

i like that even if Chad is a pro drummer, he doesn't try to show off or hide the other drummers ! very nice !

[@steventhomas5539]
