    You’re all in for a treat. Thanks to Chad for accepting the challenge!

    • Cookin Coils says:

      I’m surprised you found a song he’s never heard

    • krusher74 says:

      Its would be great if you extended each of these to a 3 song thing, getting more challenging and away from their normal playing each song. I know you did 2 with domino but they were both jst 4/4 rock songs. 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. I actually suprised and pro drummers thy are so worried about getiing it “right” i’d rather hear what thier personality would have brought to the song.

    • Jeff says:

      That was fun! 🙏

    • Garrett Senters says:

      He actually played that really well for not knowing the song…also drumeo editing gets better and better everyday! ❤

    • Craig Pfunder says:

      you should post the hardware used to record…

  3. Eithan Murray says:

    This is by no means the most challenging song you guys have given a drummer but it was for sure the most impressive. It’s scary how quickly he picked up on it.

  4. Caroline DW says:

    That’s the best one yet. Completely immersed in the song, doesn’t give a s*** about his image or reputation – open to making mistakes, but the mistakes are not mistakes. He was completely in that song and made it amazing – that’s what a true player he is. Lovely to listen to – such a master

    • arhythmius says:

      100% agree, this is the best one of this series that I have seen, I was totally blown away. Maybe I shouldn’t be shocked that a professional musician would be so intuitive, but I didn’t expect him to nail it *that* closely without even a first listen to the track.

    • Adam Lewis says:

      I love the look in his eyes, just completely and utterly lost in what he’s doing. What a wonderful human being.

      Also, Paiste 2002s are bloody gorgeous!

  5. Dean Barrett says:

    As highly rated as Chad is I still actually think he gets slightly underrated in the drumming community as to how absolutely god tier he is behind the kit – this was super impressive

    • Mike Storr says:

      This puts him in my top 10 for sure. Incredible how he picked up on all of it so fast.

    • BW says:

      Yeah 100% willing to admit I didn’t think he was god tier before. Now I need to see him do more of these like air to breathe.

    • Logxcabinxninja says:

      hes quickly becoming my favorite member of the band

    • Sam Proctor says:

      I think it’s because of how simply he plays in RHCP. But I think that’s part of what makes him so good, he plays what the music needs instead of needing to show case his chops and technical ability all the time

    • Logxcabinxninja says:

      @Sam Proctor yeah that makes sense. im glad drumeo is giving him some chances in the spotlight for the drumming audience

  6. ffg ffg says:

    Seems like it was way harder for Drumeo to find a song that Chad have never heard before than for Chad to play this song. Absolute legend.

  7. Douglas Quaid says:

    Whilst it’s a shame they’ve dropped off massively, 30STMs first 2 albums and Shannon’s drumming are absolutely incredible.

  8. shjobbi _ says:

    I love how he nailed it after 30 seconds. No pun intended

  9. Krypt Keepers says:

    Wow! Obviously, I knew Chad was a professional, but I was totally blown away with how fast he felt it and ran with it. Really drove it home.

  10. Alex says:

    I’ve been listening to this song since I was a kid. Hearing him pick it up almost perfectly was radical. I got chills.
