Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer Makes Kids' Album

That's right: Chad Smith, 20-year veteran drummer for Red Hot Chili Peppers, and latest of supergroup Chickenfoot, has put together a kids' music album with children's performer Leslie Bixler, featuring Dick Van Dyke rapping!

The album, called Rhythm Train, is a concept album of sorts, full of songs about rhythms and cadence. Bixler is a teacher at Smith's son's school, and funnyman Van Dyke is a friend of hers, so the collaboration was a natural. Check this out, Chili Peppers fans: Smith even plays guitar and sings one of the songs on Rhythm Train!
