Chadwick Gaylord Smith atau nama glamour nye chad smith(born 25 October 1961) is the drummer of the American Funk rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers.Chad Smith grew up in Detroit, Michigan and attended Andover High School (Bloomfield Hills, Michigan) and Lahser High School, graduating from Lahser in 1980.While he was still at school, he ran away from home for a period of time. When he returned, his mother sent him to a boarding school. He then worked a series of jobs while playing in several bands, including Tilt, Tyrant, Terence and E-Trian. One of them, Toby Redd, put out a CD; and opened for Kansas.

He joined the Chili Peppers in late 1988 after their former drummer, Jack Irons, quit due to the distress and chaos of former guitarist Hillel Slovak's death from a drug overdose.Although he is mainly known as the drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smith's drumming is featured on over a hundred albums in addition to those recorded with Red Hot Chili Peppers. He has also toured the world extensively performing drum clinics, and recently did a series of clinics with one of his drumming heroes, Deep Purple's . In 1993, Smith released Red Hot Rhythm Method, an educational video for aspiring drummers.

Smith is currently developing a supergroup/side project called "Chickenfoot" with former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, as well as guitarist Joe Satriani, which will include a yet unnamed studio album release.

In late 2007, Chad Smith formed a new group, named Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats, featuring Cosmosquad guitarist Jeff Kollman, bassist Kevin Chown, and keyboardist Ed Roth. The band's debut album, which is due out in early 2008, has already been recorded and is currently in the mixing stages.

Chad has also released a new DVD entitled 'Eastern Rim', which gives an insight into life on the road, clinics, influences and concert footage.
