Lot of people don’t realize chris warren is basically the hidden 5th member of the chili peppers, he started with them as a roadie and became their main aux instrumentalist for their shows. He’s been a performing member of the band for like twenty years.
Its not right to call Chris "employee" in my opinion...You know he perform with the band live? keyboards, synthesizers, electronic, percussion, backing vocals this is Chris Warren when the band play live. He is touring with the band since Stadium Arcadium so since 2006.
I was Drum Tech for Justin Brown, drummer for Thundercat when they supported The Chillis on their European tour in 2022. Chris was so lovely to me. Very friendly, open to chat n advise. Was a pleasure to see him n Chad play every night, as Chad is my hero. Chris is a legend.
I have seen the Chili Peppers live last year with Chad playing this exact kit and it was probably the best live drum sound in a rock context that I have ever heard🤞🏻 That snare projected like crazy
Great video guys, thank you so much Chris Warren and Modern Drummer! 07:38 the vocoder is for By The Way I'm assuming 08:19 Ableton drum beat for Zephyr Song 08:50 Organ for Californication

North was a manufacturer that made drums like that - I remember seeing kits where all the toms were that way and it looked like a horn section. Brain mixed in one or two of them with one of the kits he used for Primus in Europe.
I’ve seldom cared about the looks of a kit before, but this gem had me waxing nostalgic. Everything-the whole package-makes me feel like I’m back in my grandmothers spice cabinet. Cinnamon, cumin, and of course chilies!
Still have my older Pearl Maple/Mahogany kit. It's the perfect wood combination. Gives just a little added low end without being too overbearing to the maple. Pearl was smart enough to discontinue it, and make it part of their custom line, to my dismay. Beautiful kit! Glad to see chad go with Paiste as well. The Signature and Modern Essentials line is exquisite.
Very COOL, When I was a starter on the sticks , One of my full kit was a full Stacko drum set , one base drum , it was white and black exterior , loudest set I had in the early 80's, lol. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
5:04 I liked how he has the cartoon drawing by Gary Panter from the artwork of the self-titled album (1984) behind his name card. I got this figure (it depicts Anthony) on my right inner arm as tattoo.
absolutely awesome sir you are one of the unsung heroes!! I love the Red Hot chili peppers always have and always will the drum kit looks incredible beautiful piece of artwork that's actually a badass functional Kick-Ass machine!!!! You guys are totally badass.... Let's make sure you get fishbone out on tour with you guys one of these days!!! Red hot old owes that the fish bone!!!!!
I bought used from a friend 1985 Tama Superstar double bass kit a long time ago. The kicks are heavy to carry around and I usually only used one when I was playing out. Of course double pedal my point being 24’ kick is my favorite size!
I clearly see a super kick bass drum head. It's funny because he's a Remo endorser. Just like that tale of how he always used an old gretsch snare in the studio and actually hated his old pearl signature snare.
That odd drum is based on Staccato which were fibreglass and made in the UK. They were based on the US made North drums which Billy Cobham used in the 70s. Think the Doobie Brothers had them as well.
I love that he got to shine at the end😅 these guys are the real heroes. All that work, just sonthe band can show up for the hour and steal all that thunder and than leave. Than they gotta break it all down, and do it again tmro
He kinda looks like Chad when he's playing. The arm motions and such 👍👍👌👌I don't understand why Chris had to dismantle the hardware and find a metal plater himself. Neil Peart had custom hardware plating for his kits. I doubt Neil's drum tech had to find a custom plater independent of DW for those kits. If anybody from DW sees this, feel free to comment. I'd be interested to know more about it.

Yes! Anthony thanked him at the end of their performance in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction
I remember watching him sound check Chad’s drums before they came on in 2012. Was impressive wasn’t expecting a tech to be that good
Indeed, Chris has 600 shows credited as touring musician this week
Seems like a really cool guy.
Some the stadium arcadium era! WE SEE YOU CHRIS
This dude is a real one... Chad is lucky to have him as an employee
I believe Chris has been since the Californication tour back in 1999, this guy is such a humble and amazing person, Chad is lucky :))
yeah i would say he's basically been a 5th member almost 20 years
Yep! I’m sure Chad is very aware of how lucky he is mate.
err ah mmm well He ah err sounds like a fool !
Its not right to call Chris "employee" in my opinion...You know he perform with the band live? keyboards, synthesizers, electronic, percussion, backing vocals this is Chris Warren when the band play live. He is touring with the band since Stadium Arcadium so since 2006.
The plating... the 3D printing. This dude's attention to detail and care for his work is so lovely to see.
I LIKE THIS DRUM TECH DUDE!!!
He seems to be great
He’s so much more than a drum tech! Super talented guy.
He's the best human being I know. Truly. He's a great person.
He’s a drum tech and Performer in the band. That’s crazy.
You know, Chad may switch drum brands and cymbals over the years, but at least he sticks to one awesome drum tech. 🤘🤘

wow very cool!
Really classy finish. I wouldn't have expected Chad to play one like this, but it's gorgeous.
Another unsung hero behind the scenes. I hope RHCP are taking good care of this man.
I have seen the Chili Peppers live last year with Chad playing this exact kit and it was probably the best live drum sound in a rock context that I have ever heard🤞🏻 That snare projected like crazy
“Sounds like a drum.” Awesome!
This is the vibe every well respected road warrior puts out. Love this one
Okay we need WAY more of this please! Chad Smith is such an incredible drummer.
I am a big fan of Chad’s drum sticks. Have been playing them for years. Great weight and feel.
Great video guys, thank you so much Chris Warren and Modern Drummer!
07:38 the vocoder is for By The Way I'm assuming
08:19 Ableton drum beat for Zephyr Song
08:50 Organ for Californication
The mellotron must be fot This Is The Place
@@victorlopes5887 I'm wondering if you're kidding, that song hasn't been played live since 2019 with Josh haha

@@koenraadhendrik aah goed gezien Koen haha had ik gemist
bro what a dream job!! to be chad’s drum tech and to perform with the band as well!!
Respect for these techs and the work they do for our favorite bands.
Modern Drummer Official, Great content!
So cool, what a treasure this guy is. More interviews with the techs. Love their perspectives.
The mix was so nice, soft yet filled the stadium
When your in a band you love guys like Chris and they are not easy to find. He’s worth his weight in gold. 👍👍👍
I could listen to this guy the whole day. Does he have his own channel?
Chads Kit has grown pretty much!
So awesome to get to watch Chris Warren play.
Insanely beautiful kit!
What an awesome guy .. it's easy to see he loves his job ....
Wow he's a really good drummer really loved this rundown chili peppers one of my favorite bands of all time
Thank you Chris Warren, we are big fans of you and your work!
This dude is an absolutely awesome drum tech man I wish we all had a guy like this
Shout out to the Camera man for telling him to hit that 3d drum !

That is so awesome I'm from Michigan in Canada is one of my favorite all-time drummers I played drums too.
Love this tech... that was an extremely intensive Rundown, Also a very solid player!
Chris Warren is a "Dream" drum tech!!!! Sweetheart of a guy with an attention to detail.
Great video Chris. Thanks for the Clap Stack shout out and thanks for using it!
Awesome kit!
What a dream gig!🥁👍🤘
Wow what a beautiful drum set
i remember chad's simple kit and look at 'em now :D
Still have my older Pearl Maple/Mahogany kit. It's the perfect wood combination. Gives just a little added low end without being too overbearing to the maple.

Thanks for the rug rundown…. Super informative and entertaining.
Thanks from Asia !!
The whole set up is beautiful but the hardware is the cherry on top, the whole look reminds me of Neil Peart's time machine kit. The tech is ace.
Love what Chris does. What a Kool kat !!~ Love his groove too !!~
Remo endorsed playing Aquarian.
Very COOL, When I was a starter on the sticks , One of my full kit was a full Stacko drum set , one base drum , it was white and black exterior , loudest set I had in the early 80's, lol. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
Smart, cool, talented human. Good job modern drummer.
That’s a great drum tech👍🏼👍🏼
damn that 3d printed staccato knock off gets the noggin joggin... awesome vid and super cool tech.
Awesome work Chris, looks and sounds amazing. Great review and playing
Chad has had so many sponsors for cymbals and drums over the years. I liked his Pearl/Sabian era in the 2000’s best with the blue kit
@@circustramps Which ones besides Perl and Sabian before the current DW Paiste?
5:04 I liked how he has the cartoon drawing by Gary Panter from the artwork of the self-titled album (1984) behind his name card. I got this figure (it depicts Anthony) on my right inner arm as tattoo.
That gong is insane❤❤❤❤ I love it
Love the fella's drumming!
LOVE THESE TOUR KIT VIDEOS! Hope to see Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger) and Deen Castronovo (Journey) on here!
Chris Warren is a drumming legend!
Absolutely AWESOME.
absolutely awesome sir you are one of the unsung heroes!! I love the Red Hot chili peppers always have and always will the drum kit looks incredible beautiful piece of artwork that's actually a badass functional Kick-Ass machine!!!! You guys are totally badass.... Let's make sure you get fishbone out on tour with you guys one of these days!!! Red hot old owes that the fish bone!!!!!

Would love to see Chris start a youtube channel, guy seems very cool. I think he's been chads tech since the early 2000's too
The fifth pepper! This guy is awesome!
God bless this dude!
Amazing setup!! The hardware alone has gotta be worth 30k! Chris is the man!!
A Drum tech and Keyboard player in the band that’s talented never seen that before.
Love this drum kit ❤🤟
Awesome!!! We have _got_ to get John and Flea's techs to do "Rig Rundown's" on their rigs! Also, that cast aluminum snare sounds _killer._
Not gonna happen for John. There are at least two for Flea already.
This satin bronze hardware is amazing
Chad is a beast!!! So underrated!!!!!
Talented Man - Great video.
Chris is a Excellent drummer in his own right'This is second to the 2007 Super Bowl NFL Designed DPW for Chad Smith
Chris has my dream job 🙏🏻 and probably a lot of people here 😂
I clearly see a super kick bass drum head. It's funny because he's a Remo endorser. Just like that tale of how he always used an old gretsch snare in the studio and actually hated his old pearl signature snare.
That means the super kick really is special
Tbf Remo desperately needs to up their kick drum head game. The EMADs and Super kicks sound so goooood
He also use zildjians in his home, not Paiste
Doesn’t he also play a Ludwig at home too? At least that what it appeared to be in the recent Drumeo videos. Definitely wasn’t a DW kit.
@@CodyOsburnyes
This is my dream kit.
The satin bronze hardware looks great!
Beautiful drums.
Ok, this was a great video, beautiful kit, excellent rundown of everything. But does anyone else think this guy kinda sounds like David Cross?
This guy knows a lot about drums, and HE CAN PLAY!
He got that Chad Smith technique too!!!
That odd drum is based on Staccato which were fibreglass and made in the UK. They were based on the US made North drums which Billy Cobham used in the 70s. Think the Doobie Brothers had them as well.
Great video! Thanks, MD!
Trè Cool Tour kit video please!
I love that he got to shine at the end😅 these guys are the real heroes. All that work, just sonthe band can show up for the hour and steal all that thunder and than leave. Than they gotta break it all down, and do it again tmro
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I love this guy!!

Chad Smith Signature Cow Bell...Now that's when you know you've really 'made it' as a drummer.
Beautiful looking kit. Grateful for the walkthrough.
I still think his classic Pearl/Sabian combo sounded better than the DW/Paiste for some reason.
Way better. The big 24 ride sounds horrible aswell
Do DEEN CASTRONOVO’s current kit!! Come on, MD!!
This guys is awesome :)
That’s pretty dope!
Great looking kit! Keep Rockin'! DC
That's a beauty kit. There's lots of options out there, but dw seems to always be ahead of the pack with their finishes.
we need a tour video about Eloy's drumkit
2:33 - did you notice the Aquarian Super Kick I?
This kit is nice and I’m sure sounds good!
Bow Wow Wow had the elbo macaroni drum set in the 80s.
Hot damn the busiest drum tech ive seen! He's even their auxiliary percussionist AND key player!!
This is so cool
Woahhh, Jack Johnson is Chad's tech and he can bang!!
Cool video!
This chap is tops!
I included Chris in my Lego RHCP video from back in the day.
Chris Warren is the true hero of the Chili Peppers!
