311 owns, they've been recording, touring, and producing original sounds for nearly twenty years with original members, they've never broken up, had any public disputes, they're nearly 40 and still draw young crowds and sell out amazing live shows every year. True musicians who don't let politics and personal opinions rule their music making, they are the best band around today!!
How he hits a bass drum for every crash is a stylistic note I still find myself using to this day and the marching snare drum rolls are one of a kind. I've been trying to play like this guy since I was 12 and still, he amazes me.
just so i get some credibility here, 311 is my favorite band. now, having said that, i think that chad is far from the best drummer ever. i think chad is an extremely precise drummer, especially his bass drum. i wanna say that this is simplicity at it's best. you can't not love his beats.
Remember Chad Sexton plays for 311, who mix rock, alternative, reggae, and funk. That is Chad's style, so you can't expect him to be an out of this world jazz type drummer like Buddy Rich or Chambers.
@ka24love It's not rim-shots, and it is tuned moderately tight. The pitch you are hearing is mainly due to the fact he is playing on a 14x5" 20-ply snare with (4) 2.25" vents, that gives it the dry/sensitive crack sound. I own several 20-ply OC snares. The 4 large vent's makes the drum a hell of a lot louder.
those arent one handed rolls. and chad sexton isnt the greatest drummer ever. but he's in my favorite band and he's certainly a kick ass drummer. he's probably my biggest influence when i play drumset. you should check out akira jimbo. THAT guy is ridiculous.
Boring? This dude plays relaxed, smooth and tasty all the way through. If all u can recognize is speed then please stop thinking that you know the first thing about what makes music good.
yea man ur right...i saw them live back in july 2007, hes got mad skill. he could move around the kit if he wanted to, but ur right he can make use of whats right there instead of using everything and it still sounds fantastic
Hey even if they are simple beats it grooves and his technique is obivously very important to him and tempos are solid. The accent patterns that are blended together with the snare and hat are always the perfect groove for the song. Anyways.... Can't nobody do it like 311....
say whatever you want about chad sexton i really dont give a fuck haha. if you actually listened through 311's catalogue you would know how great he is. He is a very technical drummer, very creative. He is one of the main reasons why 311 has sounded as great as they have for the past 25 years. He may not be doing the most fancy shit you've ever seen here but he is an amazing drummer.
Classic example of how a sweet sounding kit makes something not that complex, just sound amazing. Dont get me wrong hes playing a really cool groove with some cool dynamics Chad is one of my favorite drummers but that kit is just so smooth. Perfect kit for their style of music they play. Not a huge fan of the band.. The players are great, but Hexum and SA get a little annoying sometimes and it makes the sound of the music redundant.
That doesn't surprise me at all. OCDP has gone down in quality it seems like their drums made after 2003ish have quality issues i.e. they don't stay in tune. OCDP's glory days were when they were a small company and didn't have to handle the strain of all the orders. They could really get good quality control when they were small. Chad has made a good choice with Pearl, they are solid drums good sounding drums. and I think he played them before OCDP so they are a brand that he really likes.
I bet Chad Sexton is going to see all of these comments and feel really depressed about a bunch of 13 year olds saying he sucks, ruabel311. Then he'll quit 311 and become a homeless man who makes shampoo out of public bathroom soap and river water and sells them for spare change. All because someone typed some shit up on a website. honestly, he just wants to play what he wants to play and people should be able to respect that. He probably doesn't read comments on UA-cam.
I have 3 sets of DWs. Everyone makes great drums. The thing that separated the DWs for me was the passion in the company. John Good still hand selects woods. They stamp the timbre of each shell inside the shell, and then sell *matched* drum kits. Just look at Neil Peart. He could play anything. He CHOSE DW. In fact, all of the endorsers of DW WENT to DW. DW did not ask ANY of their endorsers to endorse DW. That says a bundle to me.
They get artists that are KNOWN to endorse their drums. Everyone knows who Chad Sexton is and he's a big hit in the industry. You might could play but harder material than him but he would destroy you on technique. His drumming isn't that hard to repeat, but the way it flows to the music is ridiculous. If you were better than him, then you would be endorsing OCDP and not Chad.
its not like he's tryin to play the best of his ability, theres no doubt that chad sexton is a an amazing drummer, he's jus layin down some simple grooves so what if other people can play them thats not the point its just a promotional video anyways n now hes BACK WITH PEARL nice. Pear, DW, an OCDP all the way!!!
chad gets his snare skills from marching band... he is ridiculously good and has way more technique and groove than jordison. Jordison played tenors in marching band and get his fast fills from there. it is really hard to compare the two because they play such different styles of music but i think chad is better because he doesn't just brutally attack the drums.
I like Portnoy better and I think he's more impressive, but be serious- I mean really honest with yourself- can you imagine MP doing some of the snarework Chad does? He simply doesn't have the background for it, a fact which he would admit. Mike and the other guys you mentioned have their own untouchable strengths.
Normally I'm not really one to play the "they have different styles" card, but...well...they have different styles. I don't think either one of them is really equipped to or capable of replicating the other's playing convincingly. But I think we can all agree that they're both better than Travis Barker or Joey Jordison. ;P
First he's doing a "ad" for OCDP. Which they suck anyway. Second if you really listen to 311 you know Chad's style. Plus He was in Marching band and Jazz in high school. Half of guys haven't even had a lesson with any kind of instructor. Trust me when I say he really understand music theory. I know because I've been through the Marching band and Jazz/Concert band.
wow progheeb666, this is the second time i've seen u do nothing but put chad sexton down. Hes not the greatest, but his rhythmic timing and improv is sweet as hell, have u ever even listened to 311, i mean REALLY listened to them? not Come Original, Down and All Mixed Up, im talking old skool Grassroots, Music, Omaha Sessions and demos and shit?? hes good.
He should have mentioned that you can even ply count. They also offer just about every size... I prefer Sonor to anything else for superior shell construction, meticulous construction, and many years of experience in manufacturing all sorts of instruments. But the OC's are pretty awesome... Another cool thing is that OC will work with any ideas you may have while I know of no other company that does.
Well. Chad may be a great drummer but he seems to be getting a non-deserved slagging-off for this. Let's not forget that this appears to be an advert for Orange County drums and not to specifically showcase the guy's talent. To be honest, I've never heard of the guy, but for all those people who reckon they can do better, lets see some video. That said, I was more impressed with the 3 cam video editing.
The issue I have personally with OCC, Dw, Pork Pie whatever "Custom Shop" is they over price their drums... Literally its the same drum kit.. Not much different in the sound. That's a fact. It's all about whats cool and whatever.. But in the end the sound is what's important. These companies have really made the market have to re-look at their drums and put out better quality.. All the major drum companies having amazing kits.. Never buy because of a name..
@ndw9311 If they are "garbage kits" then why the hell did he play O.C for years and really formulated the 311 sound out of them as far as drums go. I know he plays pearl now but ur telling me that kit sounds like garbage. Then u and i def dissagree in terms of drum sounds..
i'm sick of all u "know it alls", sure his technique ain't nothing great, hes not fast, not a flashy guy, but do u REALLY listen to 311's music? listen, and i guarantee at any concert u will never see him miss a beat, he is probably one of the best rhythmical drummers in the world, i guarantee it.
Eh, it's 311. That's about all I can say. Not bad, but not really exciting. He's alright, but no groove or chops or ideas that really make me care much. Some double stroke stuff, but other than that, meh. I'd much rather hear Steve Gadd, Keith Carlock or Vinnie Colaiuta.
yeah, go to the pearl drums main page. it is the main headline in fact. few drummers stay with the same brand their entire lives. i guess pretty much only lars ulrich and stewart copeland have been with TAMA their entire careers.
yeah, he deff is really good, but i don't think that his typically playin in a 311 song really shows what he's capable of, but then again he does some absolutely amazing solos, now if only the travis barker fans would pay more attention to chad lol
ocdp didnt get founded until 97 and as far as the best goes yeah they be great drums but i wouldnt say the best.there are alot of drum makers who put more into their drums then ocdp i mean look at kps the best ive seen 110% handmade down to the finest t.
Boy that was some annoying video editing. Those that say he's "not good" don't appreciate precision and controlled drumming, I suppose. It's much easier to flail away than to play tight and in-control,w hich is what we see here.
someone please either tell me what kinda snare hes using or tell me how he gets that kind of sound outta that..that really tight sound. my buddy keeps telling me its a piccilo snare but i doubt it. please message me
OC's are beat and way too expensive. Oc's are the same as pork pie, gms, old dw's, spaun and so on. You're just paying loads of money for a standard keller shell with a ridiculous paint job. And whats with the tennis ball?
@abstractpercussion My bad. I misunderstood that guy. I thought he was saying that Chad was rim-shotting thru the whole video only, which is what was giving the snare tone. Yeah he was doing a lot of rim-shots and ping-shots in this video.
He is a good drummer. but he is not technical. Alot of people like to see technical and get disappointed with this. i absolutely love his style of playing and i think its unique amongst other drummers. he is my favorite drummer because of his style.
@JPPraterCO08 ya, I mean he still brings it live, so at least we know he's still got what it takes. musicians change with age I guess. but I would buy a whole album of late 90's Chad just jamming alone.
Chad is MEGA tight, it has nothing to do with speed when it comes to getting a job as a musician. They would rather hire someone who is as tight as Chad, than hiring someone like Joey Jordison.
OMFG....OC snares are fuckin incredible..im drolling fo that kit...chad sexton def is good...his rudiment r well done...being drummer doesnt mean being super fast..Chad Sexton is a beast!!!
OC is awesome, but they're so expensive because of their looks. They use the same drum shell as other brands too. You're only paying for looks, and you can go to other drum companies to get a cheaper set
not really. a lot of his shit is quite hard. especially in Amber, where you have to keep a constant 16ths on the hat, while pulling ghosts on the snare. that shit drives me mad
@bochelizedyogurt I guarantee you or most other drummers cant make it sound this clean, i promise that, chad sexton is a way better drummer than you'll ever be, just accept that
There is a much better feel when playing without shoes, if people make fun of you then who cares. People sometimes look at me funny when I play in bare feet but no skin off my back.
Well, like as a fan of chad and as a drummer, he is really good... but youre hell right thought. we cannot compare chad with portnoy or pearl, u know . We got to be realist . ;)
i don't give a fuck what the naysayers say! chad sexton is the best fuckin drummer in my mind. check out his fuckin solo at a 311 show and then you come back to me and tell me he is not bad ass.
I love 311. I dig Chad's playing. But this advertisement IS lame. I used to workout on drums with the grassroots album all the time. my band plays "8:16am" live.
nah bro. I still think playing straight 16ths and ghosting notes on the snare at the same time is harder... the HH openings on evolution are fucking hard though
@djhoitz Not live or studio. Ive seen pictures/video of him in the studio he uses a custom made cover/blanket over the bass drum, that isolates the drum for maximum sound isloation..
@sgcwproductions1 Chad Smith has always used Pearl from day one with the Chili Peppers. He did use Grestch very briefly when he joined the Peppers early on.
dude, his snare sounds awesome, its just different. nice and crisp. i love those little diddles he does on the hi-hat at the beginning, very catchy
He can drum for "EONS and EONS..."
311 owns, they've been recording, touring, and producing original sounds for nearly twenty years with original members, they've never broken up, had any public disputes, they're nearly 40 and still draw young crowds and sell out amazing live shows every year. True musicians who don't let politics and personal opinions rule their music making, they are the best band around today!!
Make that 35 years now! 😂
about the cheesiest video editing ever, but amazing performance by one of the best in the biz, mr. chad sexton.
Bring back that snare!
I hate that snare so much. I wish he would switch it up but he likes that harsh ping!
I love that sound. Its iconic to 311's sound.
@@sharinglungs3226 it's his corps background man. He loves that tang
Agreed, that sound was like their trademark throughout the 90's and 2000's.
Miss the old school OCDP drums wish they were still around
Amazing drummer
How he hits a bass drum for every crash is a stylistic note I still find myself using to this day and the marching snare drum rolls are one of a kind. I've been trying to play like this guy since I was 12 and still, he amazes me.
Your comment is legendary
such a skilled and smooth drummer
The editor of this video is awful. Great drummer.
just so i get some credibility here, 311 is my favorite band. now, having said that, i think that chad is far from the best drummer ever. i think chad is an extremely precise drummer, especially his bass drum. i wanna say that this is simplicity at it's best. you can't not love his beats.
I agree
gnarliest ghost beats ever heard! The king!
1:36 - 1:54 HOLY SHIT! That's some fast hands!
Remember Chad Sexton plays for 311, who mix rock, alternative, reggae, and funk. That is Chad's style, so you can't expect him to be an out of this world jazz type drummer like Buddy Rich or Chambers.
Your right
making rudimentary sound amazing : chad sexton

This OCDP Kit he uses is way better than the Pearl kit he uses now. I started using OCDP myself in 2000.
He originally used Pearl Drums.
I tune my snare like this to this day! 😂😂😂
i love OCD but the pearl drums are dissapointing. Chad playing is characterised by a tight,crisp sound and he´s lost that with pearl
The drums during the interview was🔥🔥
the drummer of my fave band since 3rd grade... im 37 now lol
How he went from these to pearl I'll never know. Amazing drummer in one of the worlds greatest bands!
He played pearl originally back in the day
Plus OCDP stopping making custom kits for endorsers then went away so Chad had to move on.
hell yeah he does. a lot of it comes from his drum corps experience.
him and travis barker play super similar when it comes 2 break beats
man Chad has such a unique snare drum and style its freakin awesome!!!
yea man ur right...i saw them live back in july 2007, hes got mad skill. he could move around the kit if he wanted to, but ur right he can make use of whats right there instead of using everything and it still sounds fantastic
I was about to say solid as a rock... but then I realized,
rocks are jealous about how solid this man is
Hey even if they are simple beats it grooves and his technique is obivously very important to him and tempos are solid. The accent patterns that are blended together with the snare and hat are always the perfect groove for the song.
Anyways.... Can't nobody do it like 311....
He's not even breaking a sweat, he is amazing and 311 is amazing.
Orange County drums, vented snare
say whatever you want about chad sexton i really dont give a fuck haha. if you actually listened through 311's catalogue you would know how great he is. He is a very technical drummer, very creative. He is one of the main reasons why 311 has sounded as great as they have for the past 25 years. He may not be doing the most fancy shit you've ever seen here but he is an amazing drummer.
His snare has a very distinct sound to it.
I don't care what anyone says...this guy is a genius and my all-time hero.
his double strokes are really nice - even and tight
does anyone know if chad uses triggers - either live or in studio?
hes fuckin good. i love his snare
so freakin awesome favorite drummer alive
Hydroponic!!!!!!!!
i love the sound of the snare
this dude is the man.
i wounder that my self i play an ocdp set and they are so much nice to play
amazing drummer
awesome. definitely one of my favorite drummers
Chad has the tightest ghosts I've ever heard!
Classic example of how a sweet sounding kit makes something not that complex, just sound amazing. Dont get me wrong hes playing a really cool groove with some cool dynamics Chad is one of my favorite drummers but that kit is just so smooth. Perfect kit for their style of music they play.

@sgcwproductions1 Chad Smith has always used Pearl from day one with the Chili Peppers. He did use Grestch very briefly when he joined the Peppers early on.
@tangoyankee28 he is solid with his feet, but there are drummers who use single pedals and do alot more. still an amazing drummer though.
dude, whats with the tennis balls, thats really important. i dont even focus on the drumming, that tennis ball just fascinates me man.
Not impressed! Hes a great drummer creativley, and plays great with the music he has to work with, but I thought he was much better
chad sexton is the shit. and mattusmahattus yes OCDp may cost more then most drum companies but its worth it their stuff is awesome
he got the timing, but he isn't on world best drummers level!
you guys absolutly overrate him with your ratings/comments....
I honestly do not see why this drummer gets so much flak, he is incredibly technical, much like Sparta's drummer Tony Hajjar.
What is amazing about this guy???Check out Elvin Jones,Tony Williams,Vinnie Colaiuta...One of the cleanest drummers out there???Ahhhhhhh
perfectly on time. this thing I dont get is that he looks as though hes not using a metronome. but hes got great tempo
i'm seriously jealous of chad, he has like 7 kits made by ocdp, and i'm still playing a sonor force 2001, its not fair lol
Two of my favorite drummers happen to be named chad (smith and sexton) and both use pearl now!
I don't know - this is standard stuff he's playing. If this guy is a genius it certainly doesn't show in this video :\
yeah i could just about play what he was playing but im sure he can drum way better than me if he really wanted to!
ok i havent seen his other work... but on this he is definetly a noob lol especially on a drum kit as nice as that
and Chad , whay you are now with PEARL !!!??? MORE MONEY !!!??? better gear, more gear, better service !!!???
Earlier then that kid. They had a shop in Santa Ana for a long time. Custom drums started kicking out in 93
i think most people forget the fact that he played Pearl first and went to OCDP now he is back to Pearl .
