Laid-Back Chad Smith Lick
Description
Learn an uncharacteristically laid-back Chad Smith lick used in the Chili Pepper song We Turn Red.
Even at 82 bpm, Smith finds a way to shine his syncopated funkiness though. The first part of the groove uses an off-beat ostinato playing only the “&s” on the hi-hat. The second part of the lick incorporates some rim knocks against sixteenth notes on the hi-hat. Have fun with this groove!
