ROCK & POP DRUMS SESSIONS: 'UNDER THE BRIDGE', RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - WITH MATT BROOKS

Watch session drummer Matt Brooks give his take on 'Under The Bridge' by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Matt particularly loves the dynamics and contrast in ‘Under The Bridge’, and enjoyed getting the opportunity to play the song again. ‘Growing up as a musician, I really loved Chad Smith, so getting to play this was really fun for me, it took me back many years. It allows a drummer to play musically… I love it for that reason.’

Matt Brooks is a London-based session drummer, musical director and band fixer currently working with Matt Wills (Virgin EMI) among others. He’s played drums for artists including Nicole Scherzinger, Meghan Trainor, Raleigh Richie, Marcus Collins, and has played all over the world at venues such as the O2 Arena, Le Trianon in Paris, and at festivals such as Glastonbury, V Festival and SXSW in Texas.
