Thanks for the help, Chad! 🙏🏻🤣 You’re welcome to show up at my place next time 😆
He gave you a solid 3 out of 10 last time 😅😂 Which is unfair 😄
Yeah, whatever, Brandon. ;)
He also gets to bring a camera crew with him 😂
This was one fun production, loving the positivity and progress, you can really hear it. Well done Brandon! Amazing from Chad too.

I’m not even a drummer and I somehow got hooked on this channel. This was great man. Love the guest lessons with badasses concept
Same. I am but a mere guitarist, but this channel brings me so much joy.
Same. I only play a tiny bit of guitar, but I love to see great musicians play each others stuff.
Guitar+1
Anyone can learn! I bought my first kit at age 35, a little electric Roland kit. I had never touched an instrument before that, I didn't know a lick about music.
The beauty of the drums is that they're basically always fun to play. No matter your level, you can always sit down and have fun. Not every instrument works like that.
LOL. Same. Chad Smith is a Chad.
Chad seems so freaking cool to hang out with, and yet so extremely professional and capable.
professional and capable huh
He's that perfect balance of child and professional.
The whole package
Can you imagine Chad Smith telling you that you're playing with Taylor Hawkins drumsticks while he's watching you perform his song? Like what if you broke one
Terrifying 🤣
@@BrandonToews I'm sure it was! And with all that going on you still killed it
Loving your content man, definitely going to keep coming back to this video as I improve my chops
You run as fast as you can
It happens.. 🤷🏻
@@R3TR0R4V3 Yah, dropping your baby on the floor also "happens" it would still suck
That was freakin awesome. Chad is such a great dude.
That's why he's a gigaCHAD!
I'll see myself out...
🤘🏻
Very good job Brandon. Kewl a dude from my hometown is having a lesson with Chad at his home. Keep up the great work at Drumeo. And thanks
My sentiments EXACTLY!!!
His dogs must have great musical taste.
As a bass player I'm so jealous that there's not a comparable Basseo channel with all the amazing stuff yall do. 10/10 content. If you need me, I'll be in the pocket.
Same !
Bass player here but I think there's something special in the drums that attracts other musicians (who play armonic/melodic instruments). It's probably wrong but I feel like a guitarist would never look at a Basseo channel... 😆😢😇
@@ilmelangolo A guitarist would definitely look at a Basseo channel
@@ilmelangolo It exists
I'm working on one but I need to change my bass strings first. Maybe in 2030
Kinda blows my mind how fresh and modern "Suck My Kiss" still sounds, over 30 years later. Chad really is the best of the best, all around.
great music is timeless .....
thats the funk for you
30 years ago this song was futuristic mind blowing 😮
I bet when Brandon heard he was playing with Taylor's drum sticks he about crapped himself. Sent chills up my spine for sure.
Confirmed.
R.I.P.
10:06 such a cool but sad moment. RIP to the legend.
If I'm not mistaken, the pics on the wall are all black and white except for one color photograph, and it's Taylor. That was his homey.
@@yourmomsdaddy9130the one directly behind the kit is also in color that I believe is Johnny Cash but I can't quite tell with my small phone screen and there is at least one more in color that isn't Taylor.
I can't imagine how nervous you were playing it with Chad watching! Good session as always!
Idk if he's nervous they've been friends for awhile he looked and seemed comfortable I'd say
Who cares. Fame is only in your head. Be yourself, that is what is important.
@@Pt0wN973b0iI You get it! Humans are humans.
He paid him enough money to not be nervous.
Chad is so laid back in the pocket that he moves after his reflection
lol yeah. i wonder if it was because the video was out of sync with the audio. or they just bumped the time up so there's a less noticeable lag in the convo. or the direct feed looks better than watching the video from the tv monitor. maybe a mix of all those and more
To be able to perform it in front of Chad at his house is unreal man great work you have balls of steel!
Hahah thanks!
When Chad told Brandon he was playing with T-Hawk's sticks, I made an audible gasp. What an honor all around.
you didn't just play the part, you played music and put yourself into what you played, very well done!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Agreed!
Since I'm not a drummer I never realized this song has such nuances and complexities in the drum role, seeing Chad do it so naturally and Brandon not so much at first (until he nailed it at the end, in my opinion) really made me appreciate this drum role in the general awesomeness of this song :) Really interesting to watch, way to go (I'm a bassist BTW, so of course I love this song)
The production quality on these videos is insane. I can't imagine the work and experience behind making this work this well.
It is always interesting when a top drummer like Chad breaks down what to the ear may seem simple but turns out to be complex in the most subtle ways. He's one of the all time greats.
Big props to Chad for hosting this lesson!❤️ And those Taylor Hawkins drumsticks?! 🤯

Dude is a real Chad. This was awesome.
Great! I got a challenge for you, Drumeo; Bring Stewart Copeland to Drumeo and have him teach Brandon play Message in a bottle
get the domino santantino girl to do it
Driven to Tears by The Police
This is awesome btw!
As a bass players I really appreciate the drums in this one as the bass and kick drum follow each other really closely. Flea and Chad you rock!!!!
Brandon with balls of steel, playing to the man himself! Well done mate
Haha thanks man!
dang I never realized how much of a John Bonham inspired groove this is. Hearing Chad playing parts of it without music I can really hear it. so cool. that was fun.
Chad really loves John Bonham, it’s very apparent in his playing, his home, and his gear.
I’m loving these “on location” videos Drumeo is doing. Very next level! That’s what I like to see. Keep up the great work!
@@BrandonToews👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 it’s one thing to cover a song, it’s a whole other thing to play the song for the musician in real time, and seek feedback. Props man, that was awesome! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Appreciate it!!@@natlockwood618
This was absolutely one of the best videos yet! Congrats Brandon and the Drumeo Team on this. Brandon you were awesome! Great digging deep into the details for these parts. What a great experience for you hanging with Chad Smith at his house. Kudos to Mr. Smith for his generosity and giving us all some lessons!
Thank you so much!
Mindblowing how two drummers play the same song, on the same kit, almost the same way…yet it sounds completely differently 🙃
This is the most fun, laid-back entertainment I've had on UA-cam in a LONG time. This type of content is absolute gold and separates the good from the epic. Drumeo, while these productions are surely expensive, they matter. A great deal. BRAVO!
The Red Hot Brazilian tribute band part really got me. 😂
Just goes to show you how much feel and swing can add to a song. Brandon did great, but Chad just has the absolute sauce.
On the final play-through, about a third of the way through, it was *obvious* that you loosened up, got into playing *the song* and emoted more. That was a great lesson in itself.
About half way, I felt. Settled in, click; then it was on !! 🤘
Chad Smith is an absolute legend. One of the most important drummers in Modern Rock
This was awesome, Chads been a favorite drummer of mine for years, and for him to invite you into his house?!?....WOW!
❤
After 30 years of hearing this song I just realized that John’s riff is indeed AC/DC’s Back in Black!
There is one thing you have above anyone else who’s played this track (including myself) and that’s playing this in front of the man Chad himself. There’s no way I could’ve done that. Badass job dude. That’s a take of a lifetime.
Thank you❤
Chad needs to be on here more yo, he's got this natural energy that vibes with all of you! it's awesome to watch!
I vote Chad president of Drumeo
B 7:59 being welcomed in at Chad’s house after showing up and saying “I need a drum lesson” is a dream haha
Man... Drumeo is on another fucking level! Love you guys! Drumming is so beautiful!
Watching a master explain their craft is nothing short of awe-inducing memorization
chad's playing is so relaxed, yet so strong and fast. he is among the best doing it, and has been for years, and non-peppers fans sleep on him.
Amazing! As soon as Chad starts playing it instantly sounds like the RHCP. Just the personality of the way he plays.
The confidence in that final take, you looked and sounded like a different drummer. Crushed it!
Biggest takeaway from this i definantly to play it with conviction. Once youve got the basics down, everything will take care of itself. Just gotta play it like you own It. That should be the mantra for every song you play, regardless of genre.
I don’t play an instrument but it was really cool to see this. Chad is a premiere example of why people LOVE their favorite musicians! Incredible mastery of his lifelong passion that has deservedly led to a massively comfortable life… so humble, generous and super cool.
chad smith is the biggest fucking legend ever. that little lesson he gave was FASCINATING! Also pretty solid effort from brandon to play quite composed in front of the great man himself. that alone would be fucking nerve racking!
The content this channel produces is the best out there - this video is another example of a massive win for me, seeing Chad help someone through one of his songs is amazing on so many levels
This is just what I needed on a rainy night in Scotland. Brilliant seeing you both together again. Amazing.
That was incredibly bad ass! Big props to Chad for taking the time with you on this! Makes me love Chad even more! Seriously, this was great!
It was fun watching their conversation!
Thanks for giving me the background of this rhythm.
And Chad's fall outfit and house are nice.✨
This series with Chad is just soo good, he's such a great drummer, he has a unique touch and style. Love all the videos. Great Work Drumeo
Extremely well done, Brandon! What a good production this video is. The storyline is very strong, it shows how even for a 'simple' song there is an ocean of nuance in its performance, how much the details and the vibe (so hard to capture both) matter to the original musician that wrote the part and finally you beautifully display the exchange of so much more through this learning than just drum stuff, it's so human. Some of the best stuff online right now. Give this crew a raise!
love seeing this collab. chad is hilarious and very generous
You're clearly an amazing drummer, and it's fun to see how shy you became when playing in front of the master :) Chad seems like such an awesome human being!
Must have been a hell of an experience. Looked a little nervous at first during the playthrough but you got in there and killed it!
Brandon. You are am absolutely sick drummer! I absolutely appreciate your transparency in what it took for you to learn this song! I played this song in my cover band years ago, and I don’t think I ever played it 100% correctly! Great job man!
Genuinely so much good stuff in this video. Thanks to you all for doing this, good work to Brandon, and good on Chad Smith for participating so amicably. Feel good video for me to watch on my way to bed.
Great job Brandon! Chad is one of my favorite drummers, his approach and feel on the drums are next level. I have his Chad Smith signature snare and it sounds great!
I play this song with my band it makes you feel like a god
I’m not a drummer but I love all of your videos! High quality content, always interesting. And Chad seems like the coolest guy ever!
I absolutely loved this video. Please do more of these!
That was awesome! So much fun. Plus we got a look into the mind of one of the greatest drummers of his era, and how he thinks about one of his famous tunes. Loved it. Great job Brandon. That must have been nerve wracking. You did Drumeo proud! Cheers!
You had good energy throughout that final take. Like he said good conviction 👌
Thanks for the fun video!
So awesome! Brandon and Chad have such great chemistry and the final version sounded soooooo good!! I love how Chad mentioned it wasn't the hardest song in the world... looks pretty hard to me!! Haha luckily I'm a bass player and we have it a lot easier playing this one. Thanks so much for the awesome content ❤❤❤
im not even a drummer (im a bassist) and I freaking love this videos
Thank you!
Duuude the performance at the end!! Totally pulling for you my man. You KILLED IT 💯💯🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥁
very entertaining video, it's always fun to see Chad hangout with someone, and Brandon it's inspiring to see you so eager to improve your performance on this song - and improve you did. Chad's right, that conviction to play with is really important and you nailed that with the last take, that was impressive!
Man that final version you put together sounded god damn great. By far my favorite RHCP song and was an awesome video end to end
What a legend for spending so much time with you guys.
Chad is a legend. Just the fact you get to chill with him is a blessing.
Drums sound impeccable.
This was fantastic! I was smiling for the whole 22 minutes 20. Great work Brandon
Such a great watch, and loved your final take in front of Chad- that was awesome!
This episode made me subscribe. Chad is such an icon to me and I am 63. He has such a great presence on the drums that his entire personality comes out in his performance. For him to take the time to help you says a lot about his character. Good job!
This video brings me so much unexpected joy. Chad Smith is a phenomenal musician. I'd like to imagine in an alternate universe, this exact episode replicated and with John Bonham that never died.
One of your best videos yet (and you have a lot of good videos). Kudos to Brandon and Chad!
Both styles of drumming (Brandon's and Chad's) are amazing in their way! I just love learning from all these amazing drummers.
I love watching great drummers work stuff out. Great stuff!!
I cant imagine the sheer terror one must feel attempting to play one of chads songs in front of chad - props to Brandon, it sounded great. And as always, Chad is the GOAT
This was Class! Brandon and Chad are legends.
This video was so awesome to watch for so many reasons.
Firstly, Chad is so kind and hilarious while also being a master at his craft.
I love that Brandon wanted to stay to true to the original but did what felt right for him in the end.
You were so much more relaxed at his house and it felt more like a jam session than a strict lesson.
I’m lovingly jealous of all the portraits on the wall, especially the one of Bonzo’s face right in front, such a rare candid.
I cried at the mention of you playing with Taylor’s sticks because who wouldn’t.
So much love and respect for Brandon and Chad, just two reasons why drummers will always have my heart 🫶🏼🥁
What a great experience! That looked like a lot of fun despite the pressure of playing in front of him! Keep up the awesome content!
Bro, that was awesome! And Drumeo made me realize that Chad Smith is the drummer I aspire to be. I'd literally kill for those skills.
That was inspiring. Working with Chad like that shows the importance to detail you both believe in thus absolutely owning that song. Congratulations. Only on Drumeo!
❤
Such a great video. It really highlights the small elements that Chad brings out when he jumps on the kit. Just sounds right!
Chad is such a cool dude. Love his drumming style.
That was an awsome video. Chad has been my favorit drummer since I learned to play drums 31 years ago. I play Suck my Kiss in my band. I always wanted to learn it and I have spent a long time trying to learn it. There were things I just couldn’t find out till I saw this. Thank you Drumeo and Chad.
This type of content is simply amazing. I got shivers all down my spine while watching it.
Dude for such a good drummer in yourself I honestly cannot believe how good chad is, he just sounds on another level even tho it's not that complicated. That is impressive.
There's so much to love about this video! Chad Smith always comes off as such a down-to-earth guy with a great sense of humor (must be some of that Will Ferrell influence 🙂). I just love how he explains his writing process of certain drum parts (e.g., trying to match Frusciante's AC/DC vibe on certain parts), and even acknowledging that his approach to playing the song live has evolved over the years and may not match the original recorded version. Finally, he's able to explain many of his parts like a masterful teacher. But Bro, how could you forget the drum faces? 🙂
the taylor hawkins sticks are absolutely gnarly
This was so dope . I learned Johns parts back in the day and so jealous of this meet up. those drums are so SLAMMING
This was awesome, man!
I've been a subscriber for a while and this is probably the best video I've seen in this channel, along with the Eloy ones. Chad is such a cool guy!
Bravo!
Cheers from Brazil! 🤘🏽
Well done Brandon! Your dedication and attention to detail are great to watch!
❤
I'm a drum loving bass player and the Peppers are my favorite band so this series have been thoroughly entertaining!
The looseness in which Chad plays with is always so fun and satisfying to watch. just look so smooth and effortless and fun.
Great wholesome video! Very enjoyable to watch well done! Full credit to the drummer learning, learned the song and played damn well and damn close in a short period of time and under what must be extreme pressure 😂
But now we still have to note the greatness of Chad Smith, one of the voted best drummer in the world, and you can just hear it when a good drummer cannot play one of his songs exactly, even when the song isn’t a technically very difficult song. It’s just that massive flare and aura and groove that Chad has just make him stand out. It’s amazing.
Man, Brandon, you did awesome!! What a teacher Chad is!!! Of course, you weren't playing exactly perfectly just like Chad at first, but who would expect it?? You WILL get it though after Chad's instruction and a little practice! I have no idea how you could play at all in front of a legendary drummer, you are awesome! Chad Smith is a hard act to follow with his swing and feel, and that is the exact reason so many people love him and his style of drumming!! The story Chad tells of Neil asking him after his performance at the tribute was hilarious, I think Chad said Neil asked him if he could play any harder or something along those lines, haha!! What brilliance!!
Worked hard to learn this song and the album back when it came out. HUGE influence on my drumming (no blame for my mediocrity LOL). Can't wait to see this and laugh at my mistakes! BOTH you guys rock, and your contribution to the drum community just keeps growing. 'Those who can do, those who can't...' is a load of BS, as we all know. Those who can and then give back by teaching... mentors to millions, man. Eternal gratitude and mega respect.
❤
Great job Brandon! Thanks Drumeo for this and Chad you are awsome asf man hahaha
I’d be stoked to just meet Chad smith. You get to go to his house, play his kit and get an approval from him for playing his song. Thanks for shedding light on to my favourite drummer! I would love to see more!
That was awesome Brandon and well done. 👊 And Chad, one of my all time favorite, as drummer, but also as a person. well done to the both of you. Keep it up.
Thanks!❤
Your sound and feel is incredible at the end, well done!
YES! Really on point towards the end. Top Level drumming 👍🤘
That was a super fun video! Good job trying to learn this and keep them coming! Love drumeo! 🎉
Such a cool video! It's great to see artists being accessible.
Well done Brandon👍🏻👍🏻 Chad is so awesome!!
❤
