Chad's career with the Red Hot Chili Peppers spans over 30 years and has served as an inspiration to countless musicians across the globe. His unique approach to grooves, fills, and technique have been inspired by Motown, rock, and funk styles – resulting in one of the most recognizable drum sounds in history.

He was influenced by legendary rock drummers like Ian Paice, Mitch Mitchell, and Ringo Starr, and created his own signature style that can be heard on records with the Chili Peppers and many other world-renowned artists. Beyond his style, Chad values simplicity, playing what the song requires, and leaving space for the song to breathe.
