Chad Smith

Chad Smith (born on October 25, 1961 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA) is the drummer for the rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He joined the band after Jack Irons quit because of the distress and chaos over Hillel Slovak's death. He has never quite fit in with the band on a personal level for the most part and seems to remain an enigma. However he is often credited with being a stabilizing force in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 1993, he released "Red Hot Rhythm Method", an educational video for aspiring drummers.
