Chad Smith grooving back in 2008 at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert. Chad Smith busts his solid grooves, as usual. An inspirational video to say the least, even 5 years later.

How To Play Chad Smith’s Drum Part On “Ethiopia”

On "Ethiopia," the first single from The Red Hot Chili Peppers' new CD, I'm With You, Chad Smith plays a tasty odd-time groove with ghost notes, drags, and strong snare accents on 3 and the & of 6. The time signature changes to 4/4 leading into the chorus, so all the crashes fall on the & of 4. For this section Smith uses open hi-hats on the &'s to lift the groove and keep everything funky.
