Lets make it more about what they would have played on a session for that song thatn trying to guess what the original drum track is.

      @00CooG00 4 місяці тому +8

      I think this maybe is less impressive that it appears. When he is joking around calling it “some emo band” or saying he “feels violated” it’s probably because this a very typical(of genre) type music. It has some standard breakdowns and builds and basic song structure. It’s easy to predict where changes will come, it’s telegraphed very well and this song doesn’t really do any thing unexpected. He also goes in to hard on some Of the soft parts and quickly adjusts.
      All to say, he’s jamming, and that’s something very many musicians are very good at, even ones that aren’t professionals.
      But, when you get someone with this level of technicality and musicianship doing it sounds pretty great.

      I get the argument that Chad has heard the song before, and there may be a subconscious level of recognition thing going on...
      But at a base level, music is math. Whether he's (or any musician is) actively thinking of it in those terms on purpose or not, after being in the industry as long as he has, he's going to recognize what "works" within the genre he's listening to. It's an ear for both the "sound" and the "numbers" at an incredible level.

    I love how usually drumeo highlights the importance of 'active listening' as drummers hear the song for the first time and then go for a first pass, but Chad Smith being an absolute Chad goes 30 seconds in and practically nails the song, even anticipating the drop! No wonder he's such a prolific studio drummer outside of his work with RHCP, what a masterclass in drumming.

      It’s a testament not only to his skills as a drummer, but how comfortable he is with off timings and non-intuitive structure. Makes sense, given the weird shit he deals with playing in RHCP. This is right up his alley. Only major difference between this and RHCP is a lack of California references.

      The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic Child SAers that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, and forcibly SA children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcibly shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual SA happens when they are slipped something that incapacitates them or they are asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or bodily fluids. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock their victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect deviant SAers. They harass the victims to try to instigate a violent reaction that they can be locked up for. This is a strategy they have used for decades against enemies in different contexts, only the child SAers use it to try to get rid of victims using advanced military technology.

    As a musician, this is so gratifying.
    You can hear his thought process. He's anticipating some musical things that do happen (and some he expected but doesn't). Every section he pulls back slightly to listen, then moves decisively.
    That's really the biggest takeaway for me- how quickly he listens and adjusts. He anticipated the repeated elements and just went for it with 100% confidence. This is a masterclass on responsive playing.

      Chad Smith is a great drummer, no doubt, but what he's showcasing here is decades of experience. Once you get to a certain point with any instrument it just flows, there's no thinking to do, once you know time signature and/or key you can play whatever you want within those bounds.
      Drums are a second language for him and he speaks fluently.

    So impressive to see 3:40. After the climactic “scream” of the song it could have easily gone straight into a final, bombastic rendition of the chorus, which he played for one measure before he realized it was actually a quiet build-up section. You can see him adapt to it by the next measure, playing more quietly, letting off the cymbals to focus on the toms. Unbelievable musicianship backed up by decades of experience.
