Yesterday, we told you that comedian Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith laid out the gauntlet. They challenged Lars Ulrich to a drum off, a sequel to the amazing drum-off by Will and Chad on the Tonight Show a few weeks ago.
Guess what? Lars has accepted! Game on!
Spin reached out to the Metallica drummer, currently out touring the world and he took some time out of his day to properly accept the challenge:
It was a little lonely on the sidelines during the first drum-off, given the somewhat forced nature of the lookalike element between Chad Smith and Will Ferrell, when I’m TRULY the one carrying that dead-ringer gene around! As for any further drum-offs, I’m sure that with a bit of practice, I could give Chad a run for his money. But Will? That’s a whole different story. He rules the “bad-ass drummer universe.” I mean, you’re talking about a guy who’s so next level, actually, so beyond next level, that he may just be completely unreachable! That said, I’m definitely up for the challenge…Bring it on!!!
This has a chance to be both incredibly funny and raise a good amount of money for charity. The previous drum-off raised about $300,000 for Cancer for College and Little Kids Rock.
