…and ROCKS with a local cover band!

So, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ excellent drummer Chad Smith was in a small, dive bar in Australia. A local cover band was playing…and so Chad decided to hop on the drums and play some AC/DC with the young musicians.

The result is pretty cool. Check out the video below!
