One thing I've always loved about Kenny, when he does a wind down on most songs, it ends with a combination snare/cymbal crash. He wasn't the only one to do that, though. Most of the 1991-1992 season of SNL had Matt Chamberlain doing the honors, although Chris Parker has tended to do that several times during his tenure.
Everyone talking smack about chad not playing odd time signatures or fancy fills. Chad is known for his hard hits, grooves, power, height, funk, professional demeanor, punctuality, sense of humor, resemblance to will ferrel, smoking habit, and improvisational jams. Obviously he’s not gonna sound like Danny Carey. But the dude is hilarious, has the perfect style for the Chili Peppers, is passionate, plays with energy and power, can improvise and jam like few people can, has a classic tasteful rock style, has unmatched chemistry with flea that no other drummer on earth can compete with, and above all else knows exactly what to play (not overplay) for the song he’s given.
Well it's 7/8 but it is always schematich...take a listen to jamie postones, matt garstka and matt halpern just to know what complex drumming is ;) but the way complex is not "better" in any way!
he doesn't ALWAYS play 4/4, just listen to Ethiopia on their new record. and also he plays a great Bonham, with the off-beats n stuff. i'm not a drummer so you obviously know more than me about this, but yeah my point is that he can play different time signatures.
Best drummer ever?? No...no...no! He's a great drummer, non the less, he's got a great groove but oh well his works are so easy! I don't mean that to be the best drummer you got to be technichal or somewhat but a good drummer should play EVERYTHING. What Chad plays is always a 4/4 with no virtuosity. I'm pretty sure that if has to jam on a polymethric song he would loose all his groove. Still, when it comes to a schematich 4/4, he is for sure one of the best!
You need to check out chili pepper live jams. Chad really shines during improv jams. He can play improvisation like nobody else. Also chili peppers music has a few odd time signature so it’s not like he can’t play them. But obviously he is not known for his amazing polyrhythmic playing or anything lol.
why is everyone from mr. big so good looking. Like they were all models or something. Except sheehan, he looks funny if you compare him to Martin or Torpey.
Horrible edits in some of the best transitions.
One of the best of the “Burning For Buddy” offerings!
Unfreaking believable

Wow! Was Matt Chamberlin the house drummer in 91/92? I first got hip to MC in 1996 when Fiona apples first album came out.
He was. You can see him in the green jacket that season.
Wow. Nice surprise
If he wasn't so awkward to watch I might enjoy his playing. On second thought. No.
Insano!!!
Kenny has been the self never-proclaimed pocket drummer since the day before I lost my puberty (I fought Authority)
It used to be Gary Mallaber but now its you now bud
Best drummers I’ve heard of are Michael Shrieve John Bonham Ian Piace Chad Smith
Chad, one of the very best. Love his creativity and dynamics. Legend.
drummer's day to the best of all
