Drumeo has dropped another Chad Smith clip, this time capturing the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer running through his take on “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta F’ Wit.”
For context, it’s a track Smith is familiar with — unlike his performance of a Thirty Seconds to Mars song that was the focus of a separate viral Drumeo clip that has since amassed 23 million views. Back in 2000, Smith played on a rock-oriented cover of the Wu-Tang classic alongside Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello and members of Wu-Tang Clan, with the track being released on the Loud Rocks rap/rock crossover compilation.
Smith plays a mean beat on that cover, and he had no trouble recalling his part over 20 years later, playing directly over the recorded track for Drumeo (apparently on the same day he recorded the aforementioned Thirty Seconds to Mars video a couple years ago, as he’s donning the same Judas Priest shirt and outfit).

Smith keeps with the boom-bap kick/snare arrangement of the original, complimenting it with hyperactive cymbalwork that he then mutes during the drops. It’s rap rock drumming 101 from the RHCP vet.
