Chad Smith Quotes

Playing well with others is important - not being too flashy, just keeping good time and of course coming up with cool beats. A good snare drum, kick drum, high hat. Just getting good at the hand feet coordination Picture Quote #1

In some of the L.A. clubs, people can act too cool to get into your music. That can get to be a bit much Picture Quote #1

That’s really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath Picture Quote #1
