Here’s your chance to learn drumming from Chad Smith.
The man behind the Red Hot Chili Peppers kit is teaching his own drumming course in partnership with the platform Drumeo.
The class is called Legends of the ’70s and focuses on four of Smith’s biggest influences from the 1970s: Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham, Black Sabbath’s Bill Ward, The Who’s Keith Moon and Deep Purple’s Ian Paice.
The course begins March 2 and will be available on the app Musora. If you sign up by March 1, you’ll get access to a livestream event with Smith.
