But why do they look so similar?! Will Farrell and Chad Smith engaged in a drum-off on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Thursday night. Not only was the battle pretty great but it also had some people doing a double take.
This is REALLY freaking me out. I didn't realize that Will Ferrell and Chad Smith were basically identical twins. #FallonTonight #DrumOff

Both Ferrell and Smith were wearing the exact same outfits so who can blame people for getting confused? The battle between comedian and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer ensued. Ferrell dished out a fair share of “trash talk” as well.
"Looks like baby learned how to pway the drums. But can baby do this?" – Will Ferrell's #DrumOff trash talking is A+ #FallonTonight

"That was cute. Do you play for the Lukewarm Chili Peppers?" #drumoff

They were each battling it out for charity–Ferrell for Cancer for College and Smith for Little Kids Rock. At the end of the performance, Red Hot Chili Peppers came out for a surprise performance of “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” Fallon then awarded the 2014 drum-off trophy and title of “greatest drummer” to Ferrell. Smith tweeted later, “I think it’s clear who won.”

All in all, it was a pretty hilarious battle.
Who else saw the #DrumOff on @FallonTonight? I think I might have partially died from overexposure to amazing.

Yeah, I’d say the evening was successful.
Did you enjoy the drum-off battle?
