The great thing that Chad brought to the Chili Peppers in '88 was his feel. He has the best feel I have ever heard on his songs. Most drummers are just keeping the beat, but Chad sets up an amazing groove with his funky and thrifty feel.
What I notice is that Chad's in fact playing a double bass rhythm with his feet (his hi-hat is closing on the opposite hit of the Bass drum). Because he doesn't do double pedal, there'd possibly be some fluency issues, but replace that hi-hat with a bass drum and he's practically playing BYOB by System of a Down. Chad's so awesome - I need to get this video.
He has a tendency to always play either 8th's or 16th's w his left foot. Probably why his single foot is so fast. But yeah you're right he is doing like an alternating pattern that would translate to double peddle well.
It's amazing how much that sounds like a double bass. I've heard guys do something similar with the floor tom and that made sense to me since it's at least a lower pitch, but I would not have guessed that ghost notes on a snare end up sounding like a kick drum when you play them fast enough. Really cool.
Everytime i sit down to play drums when i put my ipod on shuffle this song always comes up and no matter how good i am playing that day i cant play up to this tempo.
All the realest of the real drummers had the chad smith video lol. I was the only bassist with the flea vid. My bass teacher stole it from me...He was 40 I was 14 lol.......But FR we need another.
This is trippn me out lol I have the flea instructional video w chad in it and it's the same but reversed focus on chad. Freakn awesome. Is Chad's also hosted by river Phoenix?
chad is the most underestimated member of the chili peppers
Agree,the focus is always John is awesome this or that.Not that I don't like John,but nobody talks about Chad much 😣😩
@@raisa_cherry33 they do? like they really do
the fate of the drummer
4:14 and out of nowhere they start a funky jam
That's the peppers chemistry for you.
Those breaks for the chorus must feel like heaven after playing those verses
😂😂😂
The most coolest, talented and underated drummer ever. Such a sick guy!
He certainly plays like a trained drummer. Definitely a natural.

Flea: the best bass player ever !

@@thomasbounds3374damn, 7 years ago, time flies, thanks for bringing me back to this masterpiece even tho I don't listen to music much these days
Chad and Flea are awesome, can you imagine if they had never met? :O
Everytime i sit down to play drums when i put my ipod on shuffle this song always comes up and no matter how good i am playing that day i cant play up to this tempo.
iPod Shuffle what a time that was
this is the drumset of my dreams
That snare is quite possibly the best sounding snare in rock. Would smash in hip hop....rock..funk... jazz....its unbelievably killer sounding.
on the drum kit! john has that tattooed on his shoulder!
this is awesome!
That jam at the end! I G O D T D A A A M M N
chad is sucha AWSOME drummer!!!

Has chad ever liked sleeves?

On one part in the slow funky jam flea plays she looks to me
I wonder if Will Ferrel and Chad gets alot of that "you look like Will Ferrel/Chad Smith"!
😂😂😂

5:00 Holy shit a bit of Steve Gadd right there, Chad is surely underated.

BSSM is very good to
Sooo close to doing this!!! I can do it almost full speed but It falls apart., too bad like no other bassist can do this.. Well no bassist my age..
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! my god.
@BobNThat I'd never play it :)
How old's this video?
its from 1993
Juani Garcia thanks!
what kit is chad playing here .
Yea ik but its just coincidentally the same riff haha
@saumonnn it wouldn't exist
This was way before that song was made I believe.
Justin Flatt, no. It's after the song was made.
Justin Flatt: There's like a four-year gap between when this song was released (on Mother's Milk) and when this video was released.
i know its a pearl kit, sorry cant help you out more than that...im a bassist haha
is he wearing wrestling shoes? looks like grecos
Se hizo mierda la pata el chad ql
