Really love the way Chad treats the recorded studio drum parts. They’re the basis of the song for radio, but when switched to a live setting it means nothing. It’s a jumping off point for him to jam, while still maintaining the hardest of grooves. You know what it usually sounds like, you’ve heard it a thousand times, so here it is with 4 times the energy. The guys sense of fun behind a kit is infectious. Love it.

It was brilliant to be able to watch him fill in those spaces that are always left open in the song. Just flowing with a track he's super familiar with. Perfect setting for that kind of fun. What a treat

I never realized how much I wanted to see drummers jamming to their own songs.

Most Musicians hype is justified. Maybe you talk about pseudo artist that play with music.

I was working in a rehearsal studio and the Peppers were in there for about a month. Every day, Chad, Flea and John would just jam for an hour or so before Rick Rubin and Anthony got there. It was unreal, like Hendrix with Bonham and Jaco for a rhythm section. John sang a bunch. Some of the best live music I've heard and it never saw the light of day. Same with STP. They'd jam for hours before Weiland showed up. Another great band with a powerhouse in the back.

When I practice performing songs live I often watch live versions because a drummer puts so much more life into a performance than the studio version

I started to listen more RHCP after I've watched all the Chad's videos on Drumeo. His energy playing it's insane and contagious

I watched this man play this exact song as they opened the concert last saturday (2 days ago) less than 200ft/60m from me. It's impressive how they still sound as good as they did 20 years ago

Put this man to play "Happy birthday" on the Drums and he will make it FRESHHH love you guys from Drumeo thanks for the Chad!

Obviously Chad is a monster on the kit, but his infectious energy is what gets me smiling every time I watch him play!

Already watched the livestream a lot of times and now gonna watch the separate video a ton too. My favorite drummer ever

I love the flam that plays in the last bar of the intro it's so satisfying to listen to

One day I'll show this to my kids and tell them they can now learn how to drum the best song in the world with the Legend himself playing! Thank you Chad and Drumeo 🙌🏻

I feel like Chad was the kid in class who couldnt stop fidgeting, thank God someone gave him a drum set. Legend

Really impressed with how good Will Ferrell is on the drums.

The Chad Smith videos have been my favorites. He just has so much fun and enjoys it, and it really shines through.

Saw them in Hershey a couple weeks ago. This is my favorite song of of theirs and I’m sad I didn’t get to see it live since it wasn’t in the set list. Love this song.

after 20 years he's still enjoying playing the song so much its so awesome 😁😁

What a feel and power he plays with!! 🤘🤘

I could now watch Chad Smith forever. Talented musician and all round nice guy, and so humorous x

Creative hi-hat work on the verse! The cymbal is so loose yet the rythm holds it nicely. Not a big fan of open hi-hat myself but he nails it here.

Your drum mix always sounds amazing. Especially the kick drum!

I’ve seen plenty of different performers before some of the top rappers live but nothing comes close to how good the Red Hot Chili Peppers were when I saw them they sounded exactly how they do on there record it was amazing they even had a encore and a bunch of people ran back and watched them for another 30 minutes everyone was lighting their lighters I’ll never forget how I felt

I love that chads groove shapes the song and the song shapes his groove. You can tell it flows both ways and that’s a good drummer IMO
