Chad Smith: Funk’s Relentless Groove is the definitive, full-length biography of Chad Smith—the powerhouse drummer behind the Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of the most influential and unpredictable bands in modern music. Written in vivid narrative style, this book goes far beyond the liner notes to tell the untamed story of a musician whose rhythm reshaped the sound of rock, funk, and everything in between.
From his earliest days growing up in the working-class neighborhoods of Saint Paul, Minnesota, Chad Smith displayed an obsession with groove that couldn’t be taught—only chased. Long before the world tours, the gold records, or the explosive snare cracks heard in stadiums across the globe, he was just a kid pounding out beats on couch cushions, learning by ear from James Brown, Led Zeppelin, and Stevie Wonder records. But his story doesn’t follow the familiar rise-to-fame template. Chad’s journey is about grit, longevity, and the pursuit of a sound that moves people—not just entertains them.
Packed with personal insights, deep musical analysis, and dramatic storytelling, Funk’s Relentless Groove traces Chad’s life from Midwestern garage bands to the infamous audition that landed him in the Chili Peppers, and from the wild, haunted sessions of Blood Sugar Sex Magik to the creative rebirth of Stadium Arcadium, Unlimited Love, and beyond. Along the way, the book explores his trials, his reinventions, his brotherhood with Flea and Anthony Kiedis, and the unshakable discipline it takes to stay in the pocket for over three decades.
With chapters dedicated to his signature drum techniques, his gear evolution, his side projects with superstars like Ozzy Osbourne and Dave Grohl, and his mentorship of new generations of drummers through clinics, interviews, and studio sessions, this is more than a rock biography—it’s a deep dive into the artistry of rhythm itself.
Perfect for fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, aspiring musicians, drummers, and anyone who loves a true story told with groove, grit, and soul, Chad Smith: Funk’s Relentless Groove is a high-energy portrait of one of rock’s most respected and enduring musicians.
