"Oh, it's three beat? Easy" *Proceeds to play perfectly almost instantly.* Welp.

[Opachki]

The fact he just jumped in without hearing a full pass on the song was just nuts, he is improvising at such a fast speed while making it all sound so seamless

[Max_Flashheart]

"Some kind of Emo thing" - Chad Smith RHCP. Nailed it confirmed lol

[michaellord]

the original video changed my entire perspective of Chad Smith as a drummer, musician and person. He's unbelievably wise at the craft.

[HellBatDC]

Chad hits the snare like it owes him money.

[GregMcNeish]

I've watched this Drumeo video about a dozen times since it's come out. Absolutely mindblowing performance. There's so much nuance in the way he both listens and attacks. He balances on that edge so masterfully.

[CptVein]

I think a lot, and I really mean A LOT, of people, me included, just found out that Chad Smith is a god tier drummer.
I've been watching every reaction videos to his performance, just to see the glee in the face of real drummers.

[kympeplau]

I’m not a drummer but my son was. He never played professionally but was in local bands and learned by ear. He just knew what to play. Eventually he got into more of the technical side of things with editing and mastering songs for no pay just to get the word out. Unfortunately he passed away but it was fun to talk with him about music and drums. He fascinated me. I only wish that he had been able to make his music dreams come true. I think he would have been like Chad, just being able to pick up the sticks and play. I love to watch and listen to your assessments of drummers. I may not always understand the technical terms but just to watch drummers play is fascinating to me.

[OriginalMomo]

This is why he’s one of the best. First run through, he easily got it %98 right. Absolutely amazing drumming.

[Hanzothagod]

This is what it looks like when someone has Mastered there craft. Insane.

[mjeh]

All the other great drummers in this series listen to the drumless track all the way through at least once. He jumps in after a few seconds and just kills without any idea what's coming next.

[R-Mouse]

i love the fact that Chad was ALL in after like 30 seconds.

[Josh_da_drummer]

This is how you know a drummer knows song structure, if you know music you'll know how the song plays out

[thereallevel]

The peppers write most of their stuff from a jam, so he's been coming up with beats "instantly" his whole career

[chrisgilligan]

Many of the Drumeo clips the guest drummer listens to a complete (or nearly complete) pass of the song. They often make notes and map out verses and chorus, builds and dips and bridges....etc. Chad listened and jumped in playing literally a few bars into the first pass and just improvised in real time. Even though this isn't an especially complicated song, the improvisation is excellent - he did such an amazing job!

[HAMO-xpus]

Not even interested in drums, But there’s something about seeing someone improvise using their talent that just gets me

[CrymsonNite]

"not really in my wheel house"

Nah chad, you're in my playlist along side them.

[JoakimKanon]

My biggest take from this is that Chad is an incredible listener. I mean, he has years of jamming with Flea as experience. 😍👏🏼

[unsn]

I love that you link the original video. I think far too many reaction youtubers don't, so it's refreshing to see.

[berkeleythompson]

And now you know why he’s a stadium drummer. One of the best!
