[@voodude8986]

I remember reading Anthony’s biography when they were looking for a new drummer Chad was the only one that could not only keep up with Flea but ultimately lead him too lol

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

Well, Chad came from a heavy/thrash metal background so he definitely can keep up and lead.

[@Anonymous-h8t6w]

I've watched Chad and Flea jam together live in concert and I feel they only push each other to be better players. Both are great feel players

[@nkunku5142]

The story goes like this: somebody told them, there is somebody who eats drums for breakfast.. 😂😂😂

Exactly. And no video pausing.

[@kaiserruhsam]

i wouldn't have minded hitting all the reactions to when he said "some emo shit" but the one used is great

[@ShovelChef]

Y'know what I like? You picked a WIDE array of reactions, you cut them together beautifully, and they're all equally blown away! 😂 Expert drummers, non drummers. They know the song, or not. They do rock music, or not. I see it through fresh eyes every time. This is a cultural event.

[@stevebollocks]

Thanks. I have now done several supercuts and I now know what I personally like to see from these cuts. Stories. Multiple mini-stories from these reaction faces. And I think I have succeed with it.

[@jepolson]

The dude that goes “1, 2, 3, 4, 5” and then the drop. Awesome.

This has to be the most beautifully edited video of several reactions together I’ve ever watched.

[@mistere5857]

Nah. Go watch the supercut of reactions to the Verge how to build a PC. One of the funniest and beautifully edited videos on this site even if PC building doesn't interest you

[@nilsen589]

I want to see how people react to this reaction compilation.

[@SeanGTM]

His ability to anticipate what's coming next and then instantly adapt is impressive. Chad is a legend.

[@aldzcant1736]

Some people will say that he lied not knowing the song, but let me tell you this, some people are gifted with music. Literally unbelievably gifted like chad.

[@mastod0n1]

Those people just can't comprehend that other people might not listen to the same music that they do. A world famous touring drummer probably isn't listening to the top rock songs on the radio. I always say look at the billboard charts from whatever year the song was released and look at the songs that did better, which implies it was played more, and ask yourself if you know the song. You almost definitely heard it at least once, but do you remember it? For example "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol outperformed "The Kill" on the charts and I can't even remember how the melody goes.

[@andyvikgaming5422]

Not only that if one is an experienced drummer it's easy to catch up with any music...ofc technical or fills might not be exactly as original..

[@ManoleitorArg]

We have Charly Garcia here in Argentina, he learn just by hearing the song 1 time, he plays guitar but mostly piano. I truly think some people have something with music that the rest of us just dont have.

[@Flecky]

brudda stuff like this isnt even hard tho.The song is so easy to play along with.

[@aldzcant1736]

@@Flecky whatever you say boss.

[@sometimesitbelikedat2529]

Another impressive thing about this video is how Chad just got lost in the music. It's as if he wasn't thinking, instead, he was feeling the whole vibe of the song and just rode that vibe. What a legend.

[@mclostinthewoods]

Back in the late 90s I was in a band in Dallas (fit in with nu-metal, groove metal, funk metal, rapcore types). We had a chance to hang with Chad after a demonstration he did at a local Guitar Center. His power on the drums is amazing and his feel is unbelievable. We had the opportunity to open for and play with some amazing musicians (Korn/Dave, Deftones/Abe, Pantera/Vin, and a few others). They were all amazing to watch, but nobody was as fun as Chad. He loves to jam, and he's really an impressive student of the art of creating music. His ear is amazing and I have no doubt this is his first time hearing this. He's totally keyed off of Jared in the song and listening for vocal cues that signal a change. He doesn't guess it perfect every time, but he adapts so quickly it looks intentional. He's a fun guy and a much better musician than he probably has gotten credit for. It's hard when you're in a band with guys like Flea and John to stand out, because it's such a talented pool of artists, but Chad is great. One thing that always gets me is how hard he hits. His kit is probably the most reinforced and stabilized (structurally) setup I've ever seen. He literally kicks so hard he backs the bass drum up if it isn't locked down. Amazing to match that kind of power with such great feel. Just a lot of fun to watch this. Probably my favorite Drumeo vid to date.

[@stevebollocks]

90s were the best, am I right?

[@mclostinthewoods]

@@stevebollocks It was a great time in my life. Not perfect, but I really believe childhood without the Intenet was better. I see what my kids a growing up around and miss the simplicity of going outside for entertainment. I feel for kids today because they are missing out. You didn't worry about kids like we do now. No weird gender stuff. Politics weren't everyone's core identity. People didn't run around calling each other fascists because someone eats meat.

[@stevebollocks]

@@mclostinthewoods Ain't that the truth. Plus the music was special. We had so much alternative stuff playing in the radio. I mean you don't hear industrial metal playing in the mainstream these days. May I ask what was the band you were playing in the 90s?

[@ThatswhatsupTWU]

Did you play in the scene around the early '00? I was in a DFW band myself

[@mclostinthewoods]

@@ThatswhatsupTWU Yes. We were called Blindside.

[@SanadKhalid7]

I always say that chad is most underrated drummer in the world, I'm glad he's getting the respect he deserves

[@SuiSide-vh3gh]

He lowkey one of the GOATs that no one wants to mention that's why RHCP is my top 10 all times ❤

[@pandadoublexl]

The word 'overrated' has become totally meaningless

[@mogglie]

One of the most touring and biggest drummer in modern rock…. I’m not sure if he is underrated….

[@tucsaddicted]

I guess by underrated he means that he's not praised enough, like imagine when people say that Freddie Mercury was the best singer ever beside genres...

[@DamienDarkside]

​@mogglie He isn't mentioned as much as someone like Dave Ghrol, who has Nirvana and Foo Fighters to his resume. Dave himself didn't get any recognition until after Nirvana really. Drummers are often overlooked.

[@MEKA2777]

He literally hears 30 seconds to Mars for 30 seconds and nails it

[@laffy1985]

I was not aware Chad Smith was a literal god of drums. Good to know.

[@TheSunsetPearl]

Once he figured out the song was in 3, man was off to the races. Immediately started slamming and didn’t stop. That why he’s great.

[@markrayanvaldez4136]

Have you watched the Blue colored guys did this? Once they know It's My Chemical Romance, they started playing it coz they know the whole song 😂😂😂

[@Essendiel]

It brings a tear to your eye to see how much love and respect everyone has for Chad, so criminally underrated as a drummer. It's like... GOD HIMSELF sat behind the kit and went with it

[@firasnacef001]

I have been actively looking for and watching reaction videos on this performance since its release and I had probably watched 90% of the reactions mashed into this supercut. But watching them all like this where you get multiple reactions for different things that happen in the video is much better. Good job with the idea and the edit.

[@stevebollocks]

Same thing happened to me. Watched the original. Multiple times. Then started to watch reaction videos and a thought popped in my head that I need to make supercut of these reactions. So next thing is I'm making edits of these videos and it took me whole day to make it. It was fun little project to create in a whim.

[@nicholascustomdesigns8365]

@@stevebollocks Absolutely love the edit. Thank you!

[@MHamlin30]

Yes! Love this!!

[@mariogarcia1048]

​@stevebollocks you've definitely got a knack for the supercut edit to have one reaction after another instead of all on the same screen like most reaction compilations. You've found a good niche, I'm sure you could grow your channel a lot doing this! Subscribed regardless (:

[@stevebollocks]

@@mariogarcia1048 Thanks. I'll try to make another one and I have an idea for next one (the 90's is calling me on this one). The only thing that is against me is time. First supercut took me a whole day because I was still learning how to make it efficiently. Second one took only half day because I was already familiar of what works and what doesn't on my work flow.

[@philpeters8200]

He's not playing like he knows it..he's playing it like he wrote it. Can't see this video enough. Very nicely done...

[@laurentwarnon441]

Chad Smith just won all my respect 😮

[@Blaze_D314]

He be drumming close to 50 years. He know what he doing

[@crossefire01]

I don't know why, but watching Chad's face while he plays this song makes it infinitely better and it is already great.

[@SukitTrabeck]

One of the best ears in drumming. Old video of him drumming with flea he talks about being able to just listen. Adds to why he can go from bass fills to guitar spice all those catches its nuts. Not to mention the RHCP do an impromptu jam every damn night they play a show. He is just a fucking legend!

[@MadSandman]

Beautifully edited ! I loved it, thank you for making it.

Chad Smith was a bad ass long before-this video. What a great way to showcase his ability to instinctively see the unseen. Just proves he is living the life he was meant to lead and shining all the way there. Awesome job perfect example of living. When you are doing what you love you'll never work a day in your life.

[@RuberHammer]

What a random recommendation from a 29 subs account. Pleasantly surprised at the no bullshit concept with no repetition. Only thing I can add is that normalizing the perceived volume around the drumeo video would be nicer but I understand it could make it harder to hear the commentary so it's a hard choice to make.

[@stevebollocks]

Yeah, I tried to normalized it around the original video but like you said, it would drown out the commentary if ran it through the whole video. This was the best I could do with my limited knowledge of Vegas Pro. Still learning though.

[@mm0901]

Thank you so much for putting together this video. As a RHCP and Chad Smith fan since the very beginning, I love that the world is seeing how incredibly gifted and talented Chad is!

[@stevebollocks]

I'll think about Ren. And we all know what video I am talking about.

[@luchodelio687]

A key of why he was able to pull this is the shuffles he sometimes does between beat. If you see closely he does it when he's not sure how the song will continue, so the silence in the triplet of the shuffle earns him some time to think and recognize potential new beats

[@stewieeboi06]

This set has opened Chad Smith to the world's casuals. Amazing could watch this all day.

[@maverickofkain]

Chad's competence of song structure and musical theory added to his talent is what gives him the ability to easily pick up the beat and and follow the changes through the verse, chorus, bridge, etc. This is experience and musical knowledge at its finest. We all know he's talented, this demonstrated just how much.
